Yesterday one of my friends said something which really surprised me. ‘It’s much more difficult raising girls,’ she said. ‘With boys, you don’t have to worry about things like pregnancy.’ <\/p>\n
Well, apart from the fact boys probably do worry about things like pregnancy when they’re old enough to understand that actions have consequences, I think this is nonsense. <\/p>\n
Raising boys comes with its own set of problems – as they grow up, they’re probably more vulnerable to dangers outside the home, for example, like fights and random attacks. <\/p>\n
And I would say both boys and girls are equally at risk of bullying and stranger danger. <\/p>\n
But maybe I’m wrong. What do you think? <\/p>\n
