[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 646858, member: 1550"] Boys and girls are different. I don't know how to actually put that into words or explanations, but...it's like boys are protective of their mothers and butt heads more often with the father. Both of my girls have different fathers and both were treated much gentler than the boys and both girls desperately wanted daddy's love. Jumper has it unconditionally and their relationship is wonderful. Julie can not have that kind of relationship with her father, but she still "works" him when she can. I don't really know what I want to say other than raising a boy and raising a girl are different. You find yourself acting differently. Girls mature earlier and many are more outspoken earlier and those who need a father in her life may want to bond with your husband and resent you? Just guessing here. Of course a lot depends on what has gone on in her life with her own parents and whether or not she has disabilities or emotional problems. Maybe somebody who can articulate it better can explain the difference, if they also felt one. I don't necessarily feel girls are more difficult, although that's the stereotype. I think it depends on the girl. Jumper was always easy. Julie was more challenging because she was always sensitive. But 37 was the hardest of all. [/QUOTE]
