Who's clumsier - boys or girls?

Huh! Interesting MD! Better rethink things

ZF our kids are either going to play really well together or spend the whole time beating each other up

I'd prefer to think they will be the best of adventurous friends

My DD is terribly clumsy. She has been since the day she was born. She walks into doorways, trips over her feet, trips over anything on the floor.... If anyone is garranteed to get hurt in a group of kids, it will be her.. and its her own doing. DD is quite well known in our families for her clumsiness. lol. poor child.

I laugh that poor DS has inherited my clumsiness gene.. (so not really a B/G thing... it came from me!! lol) All day I hear.... "BUMP" "Owww, mummy i hurt my........" fill in the blank.. lol

He has had cut lips, bruises, scrapes, bumps but so far nothing broken! (though we thought he may have broken his nose the other week, but luckily he hadnt!!) He does normal kid stuff, he just falls alot while he does it. Or trips, or just runs into things!!!

So far in on eyear DD has not had any blood yet (touch wood), one bruise and no egg bumps!!! And she is right there beside DS doing it all lol!!!! I think she has inherited her daddy's grace!!!

And as far as DH and I go, i am BY FAR more clumsy than he is!!!!!!! I dont think he has ever fallen over in his life, where as i will trip up stairs, trip just because and run into things constantly!!!!

Ok so its not just as simple as boy/girl!!! Interesting!

SB - I am constantly hearing BUMP "waaaaah" (not quite verbal yet!!!) - he's always falling down! Poor mite!

My DS1 is clumsier than my DD but I don't know whether it has anything to do with his Y chromosome! He is certainly more physical and adventurous than his sister, so maybe that is why he appears clumsier.

OP.. DD has started saying "owie" when she cries, because DS cries all the time saying "owie" coz he hurt himself!!! So if she is unhappy she sits there and cries "ooowwwiiiieeeeee" lol

Yesterdsy DS ended up with a big bandaid on his head for the day and then a late-night dash to my friend's house so her DH (who is also the head of an ED at a Melb hospital) could glue his head back together...

So all day we had DD saying "Mummy I need a bandaid like X" and then it was "Mummy I need to see the Dr like X"... DH tried the following: "DD, you can stay here with Daddy and have CAKE or you can go to the Dr with Mummy, what do you want to do?" GUESS WHAT SHE CHOSE?

Sigh.
