Maybe my boys tbh. My girls were really independent and easy going. My boys were physically exhausting. People always look at me and say there’s no way you had 5 kids. I say I have three boys; No time to eat or sleep

@Jenny1234 Did they keep you busy due to their sports activities and running around?

@Chiefjustice constantly. And when I wasn’t taking them to their activities, they wanted me to take them bike, riding or swimming or ice-skating. It was constant.

@Jenny1234 Boys are full of energy and you did well by keeping them engaged in these healthy activities. They are lucky to have mom like you who recognized and supported them as these some basic needs of boys for better physical growth and help them prepare for the worlds or they could fall into trouble or bad hands.

Not all girls obviously participate in phsyical activities like your, some of my friends girls or my daughter's friends in figure skating, swimming, gymnastic or rubby or soccer, plus theater/drama clubs had their run arounds. The biggest challange i have heard from friends or even colleagues is the emotional roller coaster rides/mode swings and girls bullying in HS being far worst than the boys.

@Chiefjustice both my girls were busy learning and playing musical instruments but my younger daughter was heavily into Rugby when she got into highschool

@Chiefjustice I agree about the bullying being worse for girls. My oldest daughter was bullied a lot in elementary and junior high.

@Jenny1234 good morning!
This is really bad, i dont understand as to why that happens, where do parents, educators and system fail our kids. To both protect and teach and build their character do not be a bully. As some of these tendencies are life long specially with those are always insecure about themselves.
