Julie Jay: The science doesn’t lie - girls are easier to raise

They were basically the equivalent of feng-shui, but with less lower back pain from moving couches

Julie Jay: "While I’m not saying boys are harder to care for, let’s just say I will be babysitting for girl mammies only in the future."

In this very column, I have previously decried any difference between parenting boys and parenting girls as antiquated nonsense.

Having spent my life as a stand-up trying to find the funny in the gendered stereotypes, I am loath to perpetuate them by saying girls are somehow easier, but in a 180-degree turn of events, I have to admit the science doesn’t lie. And by science, I mean my limited experience dealing with my friends’ daughters versus my own rapscallions.
