Easier to Raise a Boy or a Girl?

Is it easier to raise a boy or a girl? It's an age-old question but a fun one to ask. I have to include my disclaimer because I am the father of four boys. As my wife says, I specialize. Because I have no daughters, I can only observe nieces and nephews. I also think parenting style affects whether it is easier to raise boys or girls, but that's another story.

Recently, Parenting.com looked at both genders and identified what is harder about raising boys compared to girls. It said boys have more problems with school, discipline and physical activity. Girls, on the other hand, have more self-esteem issues. Girls are also initially easier to communicate with but that changes when they become teenagers.
