    My oldest daughter. Ohmywow can she push my buttons and she knows it too. She is my payback for everything I ever did. :laugh: Theres a very special brand of chaos that happens at 4 when the bus arrives and all 3 kids converge on the house. Ive considered pre-drinking on a daily basis to get prepared. :bigsmile:

    These are hystarical! My husband wanted all girls I wanted all boys. As of now we have one girl and two boys....and as I knew,girls are more challenging! My new niece (married into the family) really is hoping to have girls to dress up and be all girly with, I had to tell her that, while yes, that may be fun, girls are much more of a handfull. The emotional drama...ugh. I prefer to play trains and cars with my boys over playing Barbie and dealing with her attitude.

    I wouldn't know. I have two boys and I intend on selling them to gypsies, so that they can be trained to pick pocket and run roofing scams. Job training is very important in a bad economy.

    I only have one child, girl, and I tell her all the time I'm selling her to the gypsies if she doesn't behave! However, last night she got in trouble for pulling a fast one on her dad's girlfriend and I had to have a talk with her and told her I was very disappointed in her, blah blah blah...when we got inside the house she walked straight to the corner! LOL

    Lately it has been my 7 year old son. He's ADHD & way too smart for his own good. Even on meds he doesn't keep his hands to himself, questions everything, flips around on the furniture, whines & complains. Thinks because he's in the advanced kids class in bjj that he can take care of himself. So, the conversations about stranger danger, etc... he will interrupt saying he doesn't need to hear it.

    Are you sure We dont have the same 7 yearold son??? Yep mine is most def. My 7 yearold son as well!!!

    My mother always got exasperated with my brother. With me, I would drive her to the edge of insanity, even to the point of placing me in a box at the end of our driveway with a sign that said "Free Child" when I was two. I seemed to wreak more havoc when I was younger, but then it seemed to switch once the teen years hit.

    Sounds just like my 9 year old daughter! And just when you think things can't get any worse, she does something so sweet that you just know you have to keep her.
    My 12 year old daughter is the complete opposite, but she is very moody, so we will see about her in a couple of years!

    My daughter, she is a hand full and a half. She is 16 now, if you only knew the things she has put me. Always has a bad attitude, boy freaking crazy, wears my clothes/shoes, drama, drama, drama always. I could go on forever.

    God help us both. This ^

    Anything and everything that is mine, she helps herself to. Drives me infreakingsane.

    I Know Right! When something goes missing I know exactly were to look!

    I could not have written a better description of my oldest daughter.

    Girls. My older two kids are lucky my youngest wasn't born first because if she would have been my first she would have been my only for sure. So girls for sure!

    kids on ebay? what's the starting bid? 99 cents?
    My twins are a buy1get1 deal....but I have a strict no-return policy!

    Both of my kids drive me absolutely crazy (hence the screen name). My son used to be the brunt of this, as he's had issues since he was very young. But now that they are older, my daughter will be the death of me. She's my mini-me, in so many ways. She has an attitude on her that I'd love nothing more than to smack right out of her. At the same time, I turned out ok(ish)...so maybe there's hope for her afterall.

    I just had to tell you I love the "gypsies" reference. My mother always used them in her threats when I was a child, although she never expected to turn a profit.

    To the OP's original question...I would have to say boys. I have 2 boys and a daughter. My first son (so far) has been the most difficult to handle. He has mellowed over time (12 now), but he was a tyrant as a toddler.

    My son. But they are still little. People tell me the tables will turn once they're teenagers. Right now, though, my son is a ball of energy and my daughter is sweet and mellow. He's a lot more work. I also burn more calories chasing him around. So there is that.

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Definitely my daughter! I didn't think I would survive her puberty. WHY DIDN'T ANYONE WARN ME!?

    They warned us, but remember? Our kids were NEVER going to act like THAT!

    I had nothing to worry about because I was an awesome parent and pretty much knew everything there was to know (even though I didn't have a child at that point). I tell people now, don't ever say your children (that you don't yet have) won't do that, because they will and usually worse.

    My daughters are older whereas my son is only 6 months, so for now the girls are driving me insane. So emotional and cry at anything. I think the saying that when they are born that is the easiest they will ever be is so true. They are physically demanding at young ages, but as someone else said, you can sleep that off. The emotionally demanding is a whole other ball game.

    Hilariously scary replies. Mine has made me realize PMS starts at 18 months (she's 4 now). I weep for the future.

    Haha - this cracks me up. By the time my daughter was three weeks old, my sister and I decided I was in for twelve years of PMS.

    DEF my boy, I joke that my girl is my dream child and my boy is my nightmare! If he had come first, he would be the only one! But he's pretty darn cute and funny and I love him with all my heart!

    Some sage advice I got from a pastor's wife once -

    The teenage years are God's way of helping you be glad to see them go when the time comes.

    My boy. My girl is a total pleaser, which will cause her problems when she grows up and I'm hoping she outgrows it, but for now it makes MY life much easier because she just does what I ask her to do and she's always eager to help and she doesn't push boundaries. But my boy is kind of a *kitten* sometimes. :laugh: I love him, but he tries my patience every day. He will do well as an adult, because he's curious and he doesn't take no for an answer. But right now it sucks, because he's curious about EVERYTHING, especially things that will break or hurt somebody, and he doesn't take no for an answer EVER. :laugh:
