The boy tested and got in as well, but his attitude in school isn’t anywhere near the girls. He’s successful, but not as committed whatsoever.
He is in search of one.

Sounds like a normal boy to me.

4 yo Boy/Girl twins. Similar differences as yours (minus the forging - can barely write his own name), which I'm told is "normal" behavior. The girl is really easy (for now). The boy is testing my patience. The homework struggle is real, says its "boring." Talks back, defiant, wants to be outside only. Digs, climbs, etc - last week caught him jumping from powerwheels to clothes line, trying to hang on the line. O and he calls me out regularly - can't get much passed him and is extremely observant. So, not worried about him at all.

Accidental discharge #1 is highly intellectual. Barely cracks a book and maintains above a 4.0GPA at an advanced academic school.Common sense does not exist for AD1. It is baffling how much AD1 just doesn't "get it" when it comes to basic things.
Accidental discharge #2 is of average intelligence. Has to work much harder than AD1 in school, and still doesn't bring home as good of grades. AD2 has an impressive level of common sense. Always has.

I have 2 boys and more girls than I can count.
The boys both do well in school, but are different in their general approaches to life.
Generally you’d want boys to act like you’re describing your boy to act, except without the dishonesty. I mean it’s good if they tend to rebellion and toeing the line to get away with stuff.
I would worry about boys who didn’t exhibit any of that.
The problem comes when we try to make boys act like you say your girls act. Don’t do that.

4 year olds should absolutely not have homework. That’s preposterous.

You described my kids.... 1 boy and 1 girl to the T.

My oldest daughter is far more likely to do something dishonest than my son is. My daughter is also a harder worker academically than my son, who’s way more relaxed about school.
Kids are always a mixed bag and gender doesn’t really drive much of anything in my experience. Birth order is probably more indicative of behavior than gender is. Your son being the “baby” of the family is more likely to be the cause of him testing the fenses more than your daughters.

This.
NEVER compare your kids in this way.

We had 4 kids and everyone of them is different. They were not bad but one would fit the description of your youngest. He grew up and made it fine. He tried college but it wasn't his thing. So, he went to work and didn't look back. He did later attend a vo tech and got a plant job. He makes a better living than the 2 who got college degrees, one a masters. Just do your best. When they have problems with grades, sit down with them and give them help. One on one is better than punishing or criticizing.

Girls need attention, boys need supervision.
Girls are definitely easier when they're little, but I hear that changes at around 12-13 years old.

Girls in general are more reserved and afraid of breaking rules. Boys in general are more energetic and don’t care about rules but just do what they want. It’s why more boys are on add meds and why the education system is failing boys, because it’s designed for, implemented by, and generally overseen by females

Earlier than that.
Dr. Kevin Leman says that there is no stranger creature on the planet than the 11 year old girl. And she doesn’t stop being strange until around 16. Unfortunately for us, those are the years they need our guidance and love the most.

An uncle of mine told me build a man cave with a lock on it. Go in and lock the door when your girls turn 12. Come out when they turn 18. In between those times it’s like an alien has possessed your sweet little daughter and replaced with a demon. At 18 the aliens drop off your daughter again

Congratulations on sex

That’s about right. My oldest daughter’s 14 and yeah, pretty much where we are 90% of the time
But every so often, she does something sweet like she used to do and I remember that she’ll be back soon.

Girls are much more emotional. Even at a young age. But they are so sweet when they want to be. Boys are more...well they are easier to understand
