I'm sorry you're dealing with this stuff from your mother. I think that saying that "girls are harder" is ********, frankly. Each child is an individual and to blanket it that girls are harder to raise is ridiculous. Both of my brothers were harder to raise then I was. They both hit drugs hard, one of them bad enough to be considered an addict for years. They both barely graduated from high school because of drugs and bad influences. They both got into fights and violence both in school and after school, requiring hospital visits, totaled cars, stolen property, etc.

The girl in the family, myself, never got detention, never had to be told to do homework or clean her room or do her chores, got herself a full scholarship to college so family wouldn't have to pay, didn't even try marijuana until she was on her own, and probably the most difficult thing was helping her manage pre-menstrual dysforic disorder. I'm not saying I was perfect, I talked back at times, and behaved like sullen teenagers do. But if you look at the facts, I was far less costly to the family and they didn't have to worry about me getting in trouble.

To me when I hear "girls are harder" I just scoff because from everything I have seen, not just myself but other women I know, this is just a negative and untrue stereotype against women that's propagated to discriminate against women further in society.

I am really not sure either. I think it's because a girl can get pregnant first off but that is self explanatory. Second it's because girls are supposed to be "moodier" . Thirdly I think boys get more freedom because parents "worry" less about them, as girls are more vulnerable. It's all emotional nurturing rooted.
