Christine, I know how you feel. I raised two sons and a daughter. I honestly believe it would be easier to raise TEN sons than one daughter. I still can't believe what she put me through when she was 13 to 16 years old. Here are some examples: Would refuse to wear a jacket to school on very cold days. Would NEVER carry an umbrella even in the pouring rain. All of her friends were smart and we were "stupid". Changed her clothes THREE times a day. Spent 1-1/2 hours in the bathroom every morning getting "ready" for school. Changed her hair color every 5 weeks. Pulled out all of her eyebrows because penciled ones "looked better". A "D" was as good as an "A" because "you still passed". All of her teachers were "jerks". Her friends had "better" parents. Her friends had "better" clothes. Her friends had "better" shoes. Her friends could stay out later at night. Her friends could have dates at 14. Her friends had their own phone. etc. etc. etc. It was three years of non-stop arguing. Now she has two sons of her own and tells me how difficult it is to raise children today. I tell her how lucky she is to have sons instead of daughters. Jim
