Ha ha, I thought there wouldn't really be an answer to my question! I just hear such generalised things re: boys and girls from the older generation that I wondered if there was anything to it.

Trillian - Thanks so much for sharing about your kids . I guess it all really does come down to personality. How interesting that your kids all excel at the same academic things!

Jasp - Thanks to you too! Your post really does help . You're right about birth order, etc all being factors. I hope number 3 is much easier LOL! I'm hoping she'll understand that she can't have my full attention ALL of the time, because my boys definitely didn't understand that

ETA - Tinkerbell - I've heard that about girls too. I really hope it's true for this one!
