This is so the worst thing you're going to read all day.

Boys vs. girls: Who's harder to raise?

Forget that old poem about snips and snails and puppy dog tails, says Sharon O'Donnell, a mom of three boys and the author of "House of Testosterone".

"Somehow it's been changed to boys being made of 'fights, farts, and video games,' and sometimes I'm not sure how much more I can take!"

Not so fast, say moms of girls, who point out that they have to contend with fussier fashion sense, more prickly social navigations, and a far greater capacity to hold a grudge. And as a daughter grows, a parent's concerns range from body image to math bias.

Despite the caveats about socialization throughout, one is nonetheless left with an overwhelming sense of "girls are like this" and "boys are like that," and never shall the twain meet.

Oopsy!
