Who is “More” Better?

We as adults can sure see some of the vast differences in our boys and girls, but wait till you hear what actual boys and girls see as their differences that they feel make them “more” better…
I always knew that boys and girls were different, but was dumbfounded to read Bringing up Boys by Dr. James Dobson and learn about the in-depth physical phenomena that occurs only in boys–wont be getting into that today. In this book too, there is a very brave and outspoken nine-year old girl who aims to settle the score between boys and girls and sent in to Dr. Dobson (Focus on the Family President at the time) a list of why girls are better than boys. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

- girls chew gum with their mouths closed
- girls have better hand writing
- girls sing better

It’s rebuttal time…
After hearing what this young girl had written and gotten published in Focus on the Family’s monthly newsletter, there was a backlash from people who thought this was unfair that only one side (girls) was allowed to write such things. To even the score, Dr. Dobson welcomed boys to submit their opinion of girls and this was a summary of what he accumulated.

Training Up My Boys 
Great Post I love this! Having one of each I will say my Girl is a lot harder than my Boy ever was. at least at this point but I’m pretty much up the creek with both My son says he Pre Teen and my daughter is 3 going on 15! LOL
Oh no don’t tell me that I was hoping for my next one to be a girl and my husband is already freaked out about having a girl since he is a high school teacher and works with them. I guess do mature faster than boys?
As a mother of a two-year-old, reading number 29 on the boys list made me laugh. Boys don’t wine??? That must happen later in life. My little man was great about not whining until his baby brother was born. Then, he saw that crying resulted in affection … so, now he ‘fake’ cries and whines to get his way (Not that I give in, but he still does it.)
Great Post!
Thank you so much for stopping by Amy. You know I have a soon to be 3 year old and I do hear what you are saying because he too can get a little “babyish” when he notices the baby getting more attention anything from whinning to “hey look at me!”. Boys are fun aren’t they? And good for you “not giving in” it’s tough for me sometimes. Keep it up mommy!
