Seems to matter more which one one born first, in my experience.

I have twins. One boy and one girl. 10-yrs old.

I'm the bad cop, mom is the push-over.

My girl does no wrong in my eyes.My oldest boy is the hardest to raise. My youngest son feels like my best friend. He just easy to handle and is the coolest kid I ever met.

Just the opposite in mine.

My wife told me the other day, "YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING WITH THAT BOY!"

I said, "OK I'll take the boy out for a drink."

She said, "YOU KNOW GODDAMN GOOD AND WELL WHAT I MEAN, CHINGADA MADRE!"

Apparently he and the police chief's daughter have been shacking up. :terd:

For posters on here who have a boy and a girl, is mom harder on the girl and dad harder on the boy or is one parent the strict one while the other is the one?



The sex doesn't matter. It's all on the eldest regardless of gender. They are the one with the pressure on them. The other siblings its far more acceptable for them to be reckless.

And I'm not a dad, but my parents were harder on me to be successful for sure over my sister and didn't accept anything less than excellence. They allowed her to do her own thing a bit more, but they were less strict with me on my social aspects of life due to me being male than they were with her.

Wife is the taskmaster.

I am the facilitator/mediator most of the time...but they also know that they don't want to make me angry (they wouldn't like it when I am angry).

Hmm.

My mother and i are much more alike and my sister and father were a lot more alike so that played a role in it. My father was a lot more blunt with me. Also, my sister and mom hang out and my dad and I hang out more than vice versa.

I'm pretty tough on both. My wife - bless her heart - she tries but she's soft.

I'm probably harder on my little girl because she is hell of wheels and pushes the limits on what she can get away with. Our son is generally more laid back. Either one can run smack arse over thier mama though. I think it's less about boy/girl and more thier respective personalities.

At our house it seemed that I was always harder on my son and my wife was harder on my daughter. Not sure if the kids perceived it as such, but that's what I saw. They are 22 and 20 now and seem to have survived it all, regardless.

Mom is stricter on the girl, but Dad bought her a new Jetta and pays for her school and rent.

I get no oversight, but had to pay for my school, car, and rent(now mortgage)

Dad says, "because she's dumb(7 years undergrad and counting), and I don't want her relying on anyone but me till she's married so that she doesn't just get with a guy who buys her shite"....and as far as me, "you need to find your way"

My mom was strict on my little sister and me. Dad was much more strict on me and always gave in when my little sister batted her eyes. In his defense, I fricked up way more

harder on my boy (15) in most cases because he's older and the boy.

harder on my daugher (11) for school, because well, she needs it!

I'm a hard arse on both.

They are close in age so that makes it easier too.

Each of my kids think we're the hardest on them and the other sibling(s) is the favorite.

Have one of each, boy 3, girl 1, I'll let you know in a few years, but I feel like I will be equally tough on them, maybe a little more on my son now that I think about it.

This is typical unless Mom & Dad work out a plan where Dad is always the bad cop and Mom is always the good cop.

5 year old daughter and 2 year old son. I'm equally hard on both of them. They will hate me for 5 minutes and then forget what happened and want to be next to me. My son throws tantrums from watching his bigger sister do it. They will learn. They both get their arse whipped and will continue to when they do wrong. My wife won't whip the 2 year old as often as I will. He loves his momma. Lol.
