are girls harder to raise than boys?

I found out today that I'm having a baby girl and we are so excited but I'm a first time mom so many questions. Are girls worse than boys to raise?

I know I was more expensive than my brother lol. Just depends on the kid. I liked to go out as a teenager but my brother excelled in school and liked staying home
so far my daughter has been easy compared to her cousin (boy).

My mom raised 5 girls and we where pretty easy I think until adults hood that's when some of my sisters started getting into trouble....

I'm a ftm too but have a lot of experience with kids considering I have been a nanny for 5 years raising other peoples kids.... I personally think girls are easiest until maturity and boys are crazy until maturity but in reality its all in how you raise them :) goof luck and congrats and your baby girl

I don't really think you'll get an accurate answer lol. It really just depends on how the child is raised :) all kids act out and throw fits. Boys and girls are different from each other so there are different pros and cons for both. Boys tend to be more crazy and hyper while a lot of girls tend to be a little more bratty. But it's not like that for everyone. Sometimes it's reversed! Good luck :) I'm having a girl too and she's definitely already very expensive lol.
