For the parents here....

and non parents as well. What are the differences between raising girls and boys? An old Joke about the latter, is it's much easier, because then you only have one dong to worry about. Never had boys myself, but they might be easier, for lots of reasons.

I have one of each.
Daddies are pushovers for daughters.
"Daughters have their daddy's number, and they dial it often."
- columnist Jim Wright in a Father's Day column

Mother saying, "Just you wait 'til your father gets home!" carries weight with boys.
Girls? rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

Two girls and a boy. Raised them equally being married and single.
When the three years old ate his nails, i polished them red, he was sobbing all day on the sofa, it broke my heart, but it worked.
Never showed the accent on their gender, somehow they knew what clothes to choose. laugh

All in all........fathers are overrated.
Well, I solemly agree with Exredwine
Under female refinement society develops Buddhism and the nature of the cat. Life’s goal is to be without one.

Under male leadership society develops the character of the dog and Confucius. Life’s journey is besides the point.
And it’s a wise move for the mans world to introduce elements of Buddhism and meditation into business now that being a dull workaholic doesn’t buy you a wife. Meditation isn’t the same as having somebody love you but it is a way to keep telling you that love you. Buddhism is an answer and antidote to modern singledom and working 24/7 with no real life of your own - you are in a committed relationship with yourself therefore you don’t need other people(like the cat)
More broadly apply that to all religion. They all exist to promote a sense of goalessness on Earth, to be content with things as they are even if you’re a member of one of Himmlers death squads. It’s a stress busting detachment from reality, religion does what a woman does without the woman.
I never really knew what to do with a male child laugh so I raised him the same way as I did his older sister.

To be respectful and kind, to explore his world and discover what makes him happy and to pursue that conversing

To be responsible and to take care of himself and his surroundings, to not be afraid of thinking big and to never tire of learning conversing

To be gentle with animals and to expand his mind by reading and learning about things and people, to dabble in art and to forgive himself when he makes mistakes.

And to know that he is loved, very much.
I was raised at a much different time. We were taught to tease girls, as I do here. The more one does so, the more they appreciate the attention. It's why I still have to spend so much time fighting them all off.
In a choice between his mother and justice a good man chooses his mother. and religion exists to provide something you love more than your own family for that reason. Throw your children into the fires of Moloch, it will save Carthage.

Anyway as reason has increased religion has been rationalised down to monotheism and deism and gods that don’t really get involved as per the requirements of society. Throwing them to moloch has been liberalised and rationalised, you might force your kids to be unhappy for a real or imaginary benefit to civilisation but it’s not as severe as moloch.
Thanks, again, CC. As always, ---logical, cogent, deep and profound. Please never stop helping to enlighten us all here in the thick fog that is CS. We always learn from you, even if the messages sometimes require decyphering. And don't listen to all those doctors and nurses about medication adjustments.
Oh.! Thank you both you kind gentlemen. bouquet

I never had a son. Always wanted one.

But girls are easier. Just because I could completely ignore when they pulled each other's hair.

Now I want a son V. wink
