Yeah, and all my boys talk to me, 15 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 3: but my daughter's the only woman that actually calls me. 16 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 3: Then and then on the other hand, last week she said, 17 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 3: I want to come and visit you and see my 18 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 3: half brother and sister. 19 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 4: Two and a half grands to come a visit us 20 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 4: in a couple of weeks. 21 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: Okay, So girls, girls are harder, more expensive, but more rewarding. 22 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 4: Right. 23 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 5: Gee, whiz, how's that for a synopsis? Jeez, you've got 24 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 5: the more expensive gender. Wood's got that nightmare. 25 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 2: Let's go. Let's go to Peter here. Peter, what do 26 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 2: you think it harder to raise girls. 27 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 3: Definitely girls. 28 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 5: Why why Peter. 29 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 3: Oh man, I've got three girls and one boy. Yeah, 30 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 3: and the girls that attitude that they have. Yeah, three 31 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 3: year old, a three year old up is just it 32 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 3: just gets worse and worse. 33 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 2: So do you think I think the girl was easier 34 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 2: from zero to three because honestly, like Remy has been 35 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 2: a dream. So she's going through a four month progression 36 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 2: right now, which is a bit of a nightmare. But 37 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: like I feel like early on I hear that girls 38 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: are really easy but then become a bit harder later on. 39 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 2: Is that your experienced, Peter? 40 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 3: I think just first children are easy and then they 41 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 3: having more Gosh. 42 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 5: They such weird. 43 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,559 Speaker 1: Sorry, Peter, you you made that decision in your own time. 44 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: There was no child coaxing you to conceive again, that 45 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: was your goal. Yeah right, okay, So with Peter, what's 46 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 1: the what's the toughest thing you've had to deal with 47 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: with your daughter? For her to be that deemed is 48 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: that difficult? 49 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 3: I think the internet is really stressful with girls. 50 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: Just things, things that she absorbs there that you can't 51 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: sort of protect her from. 52 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, yep. That and just trusting people who were talking 53 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 3: to her. That's really big and like, my boy can 54 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 3: go out and I don't stress so much walking home. 55 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 5: But that doesn't make her difficult. That just makes it vulnerable. 56 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 3: But that's you said. What's the most difficult part. Difficulty 57 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 3: is like the attitude, that kind of thing. 58 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, God, you don't remember my sister was a teenager 59 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 5: that was tough. 60 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 2: Times, slaming doors, slaming doors. 61 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 5: I don't think I spoke to her five years. 62 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's a good way to do it, I 63 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 2: reckon she. 64 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 5: We just would you like ships in the night? 65 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because she was a tough patch. 66 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 5: It was tough. 67 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 2: Let's go to Annette here. 68 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 5: It didn't happen, It happened the five year period. 69 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, selective memory and that which one do you thinks 70 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 2: harder boys or girls to raise? 71 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 4: I think boys are, especially as a single mom, definitely. 72 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 5: Oh wow, okay, okay, talk to us in it. Why. 73 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,119 Speaker 4: Yeah, well I separated, so my son for five and ten, 74 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,839 Speaker 4: I have a bit of a gap. Yeah, so at 75 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 4: that age they were sort of okay. But as they 76 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 4: grew into young men, I found it a lot harder 77 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 4: because it was very hard to relate to how men 78 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 4: relate with each other. So I couldn't explain it was 79 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 4: a situation. 80 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: What was the toughest What was the toughest sort of 81 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: situation there that you have to sort of try and 82 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: reach into in it, it's. 83 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 4: At school, like the way boys relate to each other. 84 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 4: It's school and those social environments versus how girls. 85 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, don't talk, we shut down, we shut down. 86 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 2: We just have a wrestle. Just just tell them to get 87 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 2: in there and have a wrestle everybody. 88 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 4: But I don't like that. You need to talk it out. 89 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 2: No head hitst wrestle. 90 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: What's your tactic then?
