So I was walking out the door for work this morning and

[LogGrad98]

what are your neighbors doing right now, guys. Ever think of that?

Having gay morning sex probably (our neighbors above us in the apartment building are out and proud and had no problem discussing their favorite, um, times and places when we had them down for a backyard grill).

That's way too broad a generalization. For example, I was a very well mannered child. I spent my time reading, playing video games, playing chess, and building epic Lego sets. My oldest sister (oldest among my sisters, but younger than me) was HELL to raise. She was a total bully, getting into fights every day, and always looking for reasons to rebel. According to my parents, I was probably the easiest child.

Looking at my nieces and nephews, it seems like in general, boys are more aggressive and destructive. But since I don't spend a lot of time with them, I was wondering about patterns of behavior from very early childhood, before socialization sets in. I also know that there are some cognitive differences, ON AVERAGE, between boys and girls, like the latter's better speaking and writing ability as young children. But I do not know to what extent these differences exist.

It's a generalization for sure. But generalizations are generally true. As an example, my sons running through the kitchen, trips and falls flat on his face. Sits up and blood is pouring out of his mouth. My daughter starts screaming, she thinks he's going to die. I grab a towel and shove it in his mouth, he starts biting it and growling. Laughing his *** off, blood is splattering everywhere, he couldn't care less. I highly highly doubt you'd find a girl like that.

I never taught either of my kids to hit things or throw things. My daughter never did, always loved on her dolls. My son as soon as he could was picking up here barbies hitting them on the ground and throwing them. Boys are different than girls 99% of the time. It's science man.

Update - Was driving home all excited to take my little girl out for some mediocre sea food and my wife calls. "Ummm my dad decided he is going to a softball tournament in St George and he left left Demetrius (names have been changed to protect the innocent)" My wife is out of town so sweet, I guess I'll watch your obnoxious kid all weekend instead of enjoying MY weekend with MY kids. What a P.O.S. *******. So yeah, I took them to nickle city and was gross and full of teens. My worst nightmare.

So the dumb dick gets home Sunday afternoon, hasn't seen his kid all week mind you because he's at work during the day, then he's got softball games or dates every single night. Literally he goes on like 3 or 4 dates a week and plays softball on the other nights. Anyways, gets home Sunday afternoon, picks up his kid around 3. Tells me some stupid BS story I don't care about and leaves. Great, he's finally gone and I can hang out with my family. My wife gets home makes some dinner, everything is going great. She calls him at 530 to see if they want her to bring the leftovers over for them and to see if he took his son to a movie like he said he was going to

. He's like no we already ate and I'm too tired to go to a movie, but can you watch Demetrius for a bit there's this girl that wants to meet up with me for a little bit. So he hasn't seen his son in a week, picks him up for 2 hours, and is already bailing again. Seriously I hope this guy dies in a car wreck (drives a giant lifted truck that he can't afford FYI) soon so I don't have to deal with him or see his stupid ****ing face ever again.

Rant over.

Basically boys are destructive, tough, little monsters straight out of the womb. And little girls are cute little lovers as soon as they are born.

False.

I can't comment about boys, because all my nuts seem to be able to produce is girls and blueness, but I know a little bit about girls. My oldest is much like most of yours; she is all girl, loves to cuddle, read, hang out with me, etc., but my next little girl couldn't be any farther away from her sister in pretty much every facet of life. First of all, they don't look alike. At all. Oldest is tall, skinny, petite, with long straight brown hair. #2 is a short, stumpy, THICK grump of a thing with a damn near white curly mop on top. My oldest is nice, loving, and unbelievably caring, while #2 seems to go out of her way to be rude or make others feel bad. #1 is a social butterfly, makes friends at any/all venues from shopping malls, doctors offices, church, etc., is a voracious learner and can't get enough reading, learning, or experiences. #2 wants to sit on her *** with an Otter Pop and the iPad, in seclusion, behind the back side of her bed where nobody can see her or bother her. She has zero manners, is not polite to anyone, waits for her sister to make something pretty, just so she can stomp on it, tear it up, or destroy it as quickly as possible. #1 wouldn't hurt a fly, while #2 is all about death, destruction, chaos, and violence.

In short, I don't think gender has much to do with it. I have no idea how my girls could be so polar opposite of each other, but it sure sucks. #2 is going to have a very hard life, which is hard to think about as a father, but she's 5 and has gotten progressively worse as the years roll by. #1 might discover the cure for cancer, life on another planet, or the missing link -- and I wouldn't be a bit surprised.

Boys are stupid.

I lol'd.

Because it's true.

I lol'd because I always knew.

I know people.

And the majority of them are underage, no doubt.

On the bright side..... #2 might win an espy some day

 

[Jaymz]

:'( ex decided to terminate.

:'( ex decided to terminate.

That's harsh man. I'm sorry.

 

[Jaymz]

That's harsh man. I'm sorry.

I was pretty stoked, too. No pun intended. All my friends were excited for me to have one even though my ex is NUTS!
I guess that's really the only silver lining to the whole situation, won't have to deal with her bipolar negativity for 18 years. It must suck to be so salty.

 

[TroutBum]

On the bright side..... #2 might win an espy some day

Or she might take gold at the olympics for weight lifting or softball. She DOES hit like a freight train, and her rear naked choke is like a vise, so she may have a solid career as an MMA fighter.

So many possibilities!









None of them good.

Troutbum,

Have you considered trying to instill manners in your second girl? Just a novel thought since, ya know, you're her parent after all.

That would've been my exact line of thinking about five years ago. Unfortunately, that's just not how **** works. Your kid is still an infant and you've only got one. Just wait, dude. If you thought the first one was life changing/amazing/easy/hard, the second one will be the exact opposite.

If any of you have met my oldest, you'd know that manners and politeness have been drilled into her brain since day one. She understands why and how, and chooses to be polite and nice. #2 can't get passed the whole "**** you dad, give me what I want right now or I'll break your favorite flyrod". It's a real treat.

Uh, I have two kids. Around the same age too. Neither would ever act like that or they would get the palm of my hand on their ***.

Sounds like you've just accepted this nonsense.
