[QUOTE="donna723, post: 509004, member: 1883"] I don't know if it was just my own particular two children but my daughter was definitely way harder to raise than my son was. Actually, my son had just as many problems as his sister did but he was a lot quieter about it. I guess it's just natural but with girls, once they hit about 12 or so, most of them have a real problem with their mothers ... they become rude, mouthy, disrespectful and defiant and most of it is aimed at their mothers. Then when they hit their late teens, they seem to grow out of it a bit. The mothers of my daughters friends had a lot of the same problems with them that I did. But I never noticed my son or any of his friends going through that same anti-mother stage when they were teenagers. He indulged in his own share of the mischief but he was never rude or defiant like his sister was at the same age. But again, they were going through a lot with their alcoholic father (before the divorce) and it could be just their individual personalities too. My daughter has always been the assertive one who spoke her mind while my son was always much more laid back and quiet. So who knows really. [/QUOTE]
