Hello friends, is your girl @mesola.

When we talk about which child do we prefer our child to be. In this aspect I am confused.
I am a mother of 4 kids both boys and girl, they are all unique in different ways but I have discovered that boy child comes with so much headaches than that of a girl child.

After suffering for a boy child at the end of the day, you see all your efforts all gone and if you are not strong, you might end up laying courses on that child.

But you see that if a girl child. A girl has this sympathy on parents, they turn to be a mother at a very tender age and at times you became confused why the boy child is not the same, but because of carrying the family name, we all need both of them in the family

Boy or girl child, which do you think is more expensive to train? Give your reasons

When it comes to parenting, both boy and girl children can be equally costly to train. The costs related with raising a child, such as education, healthcare, extracurricular activities, and basic necessities, are similar no matter the gender. However, there may be certain gender- notified costs which parents may need to consider. For example, girls may require more expenses for menstrual products that is pads, clothing, and beauty products, while boys may need some money for sports equipment and also technology. Not only that, have we talk about maintenance, like making of hairs and that of skin maintenance.

A boy child only cares about cutting his hair and it won't even cost anything in getting that done.
But that of the girl child, she will need to look good and you have to spend much in making her hair so that she can look good. And they care so much about their skin. They don't want to see a dot of stain on their skin.

So my dear friend, a girl child is very much expensive to maintain more than a boy child.

If you were to be a parent today, which gender do you prefer to have as your children? Give us your reasons

As a parent that I am, I don't have a preference for the gender of my children. Each child is unique in his or her own way and as they bring their own set of challenges and joys no.matter the gender. I believe that it is important to raise children in an environment where they are loved and supported, regardless of their gender.

During adolescence, which gender shows tendencies to go out of control? Why

During adolescence, both boys and girls can have the tendencies of going out of control. However, with my own experience boys tend to exhibit more externalizing behaviors, which includes aggression and rule-breaking.

Have so much shade tears for a boy child which I keep praying for God inte

If you go through the chat, you will see the stress a male child has caused me. I had to go MTN office to track him with a military officer before he could be arrested.

while girls could put body in more internalizing behaviors, such as depression and anxiety. It is necessary for parents to support and give guide their children through the challenges of adolescence, no matter the gender.

What do you think about the statement; "what a boy can do, a girl can do better"?

The statement "what a boy can do, a girl can do better" is a strengthen message of gender equality. It challenges traditional gender norms and received idea which limit the potential of individuals based on their gender. Research has shown that both girls and boys are equally capable of success in different areas, and it is necessary to give encouragement and support to all children in getting to their full potential, no regarding their gender.

Raising children can be expensive not minding of their gender. Each child is unique in their own ways and brings on their own set of challenges and joys. It is necessary for parents to give support and guide to their children through the different stages of development, not minding their gender. Gender should not be a factor determining how children are raised or how they are supported.

Hmmmm
It's not easy to raise a male child from birth to an adult without having so much headache as a mother. But at the same time,,a male child can also born with light into the family without stress. I think the stubbornness of a male child all depends on the kind of friends we keep and what we see in the internet. You pick a girl, that's not a bad choice.

You might be correct, but my question is, what can be done for the male child to have sympathy on the parents

Hmmm, it's hard to answer this question to be honest. If i should speak for myself, i cherish my mother happiness more than mine. Going through that WhatsApp chat, i don't think i can do that to my only mother. You know what? Just keep praying amd stay positive, i understand how you feel.

MODs Comment/Recommendation:

Raising both boys and girls can indeed be equally costly when considering expenses like education, healthcare, extracurricular activities, and basic needs. However, there are gender-specific costs to consider as well. Girls may require more financial investment in menstrual products, clothing, and beauty products, while boys may need funds for sports equipment and technology. Additionally, maintenance costs like hair and skin care can vary between genders. Boys might have simpler grooming needs like haircuts, while girls may invest more in hairstyling and skincare to maintain their appearance. It's essential to consider these gender-specific expenses when planning and budgeting for the upbringing of children.
