Okay so some recent experiences made me wonder about this.
Those of you with kids of both genders. Are there privelages you allow your boys to partake in but won't let your girls do. For example letting your boys stay out late, but insisting on your daughters having a curfew. Or letting your boys date, but not your girls. If so why?
Thanks.

Nope. Same for both genders. I have a son of 19, and a girl of 15 btw. If anything my daughter has had a little more freedom over the last 18 months or so than her brother did at her age, since she mostly has him to hang around with, whereas he had no-one.

In my home privileges are not based on gender but on maturity, and all kids reach those maturity milestones at different times.
Blessings,

This is how you have to look at it My kids are only 7 and 9 now. But they completely different children. I can alredy trust ds' judgement much more than his older sister. I think you start at the same place and then make it clear that adjustments may be made depending on how they handle existing freedoms or priviledges.

This is how it is in our home also.
