They are rarely easier than girls, both from my personal experience, and from what I've read and heard elsewhere too. It's not at all uncommon for boys to be wet at night when they're 6, so no suprise that they take longer for the initial stages too.

One small thing that made it easier for me to train DS, was that we skipped the whole standing up to pee thing... It's hard enough without me trying to teach the little guy a skill I don't have a clue about myself. Daddy mostly sits down on the potty so he did too - hallelujah! Saves worrying about aim and equipment proportions as well as the basic potty training problems you get with girls.

DS is still often wet at night, so we get him up before we sleep, about a couple of hours after he's gone to bed himself, and that's usually enough to minimise the trouble.

And the other problem comes with any child who gets really caught up in what they're doing, be it playing or colouring or whatever - at that age they can easily forget they need until it's too late.
