Neither one. Erica was difficult. In other words, don't generalize. Each child has his/her strengths and weaknesses. You, as the parent, have to figure out each child and deal with them on that basis. But, comparing raising the girls with raising Dylan, I still can't say which was/is more difficult. The situations are so different. I was in my late 20's, early 30's when the girls were born; there were 3 of them--one of them Erica. I was 45 when Dylan was born and there were 5 adults to one of him. I could say that he was harder in that I rarely ever took him anywhere by myself until he was 5. It was a full time job supervising him out in public. But him being only one instead of one of 3 out in public could have been part of it. Perhaps if he had a sibling closer in age, they would have entertained each other instead of him going off to climb the grocery store shelves. But I don't know; it's all speculation on my part.

Maybe its from all that 2nd hand smoke in your house.
Even raising my boys, with exact situations it's not the same.

I can say with 100% certainty that no child of mine has ever pushed, smacked, or pulled the hair of any other child of mine.
I can even go a step further and say that no child of mine will ever push, smack, or pull the hair of any other child of mine.
I can say that too! LOL
