I'm 39. My dd is 14 and my ds is 10.

On the one hand I think - my gosh - in 3-4 years my dd could be out of the house. So quick! And an another day I think - my gosh - as soon as 3-4 years and my dd could be out of the house. Thank goodness!

So you say I'll feel the same about my son in another 4 or 5 years?

Girls mature faster?

Or is there something else with sons I'm not aware of. (having been a teenage girl myself I've got a little insight on the girl end of things - but not on the boys.)
