i have got 3 boys and 2 girls, when thy were babies not much difference they were all pretty much the same really content and laid back, but boy when they hit 1 and older could you tell the difference, my boys stayed the same and would still cuddle you and let you do things for them but the girls became far too independant and i never felt like i was needed anymore, even though i was to make their meals etc but just felt not as important to them, plus as they reached 2 should i say they were very strong willed, older again they would do anyting for you if you said could you but would not do things if you said will you inother words not doing what they were told to do had to treat them like men lol let them think it was thie idea. my oldest daugher used to try and make all the rules ie i would say you do that again and you go to bed so she would do it again and put herself to bed so she was in control still, my youngest daughte would wee herself on puropse when put on the naughty step so she had to move. i laugh now at it, but i must admit now my eldest daughter is 12 she is fantastic i do wonder if its the calm before thestorm for when she hits 13, my 14 year old son i have been very lucky with and is still well behaved. Also with my girls they are very honest did you hit him, yes i did, why, cause he was annoying me, whereas the boys would try and lie their way out of it. no i would never do that lol.
