we love our mom and dad equally,but many of us love anyone of them some what more than the other.we know both of them care for us with full-heart. why are there inequalities in our attitudes towards them? to be straight..."is mother's love greater or father's?" answer in your own way (u can explain from ur personal experience too)

i dont think so. a mother is always with the children , looking after their every need. but the father at that moment is not sitting free. he has gone to work hard in the heat, and tough conditions just so that his children would have everything they desire. both work equally hard. it seems like mother;s love is greater, but looking deeper into the matter, you detect hidden love and yearning from a father. i think both love me very much. and i respect both equally .

There is a difference between mother's love and father's love. Mother has unlimited love for her children, because they are her children. For evry child, it is told that, the mother is the first Godess to worship. Then comes the father's affection, who takes care in bringing up a child. Father is said to be the next God to worship, The third in priority of worship is the teacher, who teaches the child and enhances the knowledge. Then only a child is to worship the Almighty, the God. The mother is the natural God for a child and therefore should love the mother more than anything on the earth. The first face that a child recognises on the earth is also the mother!

well i dont think that moms love is greater than dads... but i do think moms can show their love and really do show their love for their children... but dads... cannot... my dad has very little gave me inclination about how much he loves me... but recently ... when i told him about my admission to a university abroad... he was quite... so quite... and i could sense that he did not want me to go.. cause that would mean that he would get to see me soo little... i could really see that he was crying inside

I don't think so , I think mohter's love is the same with father, jsut as you say ,they all care for us with full heart, no one don't like their child , maybe soem think that girls more love faterh and boys more love mother, but I don't believe it, I don't think I love my mother more than my father, I love them equally as you.

I think mother's love is more greater than father's becoz mother is the natural relation offered by God and father is made by the society. It's said that in ancient times,before civilisation only mother is known to children and the men are called as uncles and none used to care abt who is the father of the child or children. I think mother is more compassionate ,loving and care for their children than father does,if not then thank society or the men who made them becoz it/ they made the fatherly love possible over time.

i dont think mother loves more then father do! they both love us very much..but as mothers suffers more then fathers do...their care is a different way then fathers and this is what might make u think like dad doesnt love u as much as mom does! i dont agree honestly as u have already read my statement!

well i think it depends on which one of them you took a liking to when growing up. For me i was always with my mum as my dad would have gone to work so i guess thats why i am attached to her. also she understands me more than my dad and i do tell her things that i am going through, though my dad would have to ask her to tell him instead of coming to meet me. Not that i don't have a nice relationship with my dad, but i see my mum as more understanding than him

I don't think that there is any difference between mother's love and father's love...don't feel but according to me the question itself is wrong...as there won't be any difference between mother's love and father's love...they obviously treat their children in equal way... but there are some children who treats there parents in a different way.. each parent in a different way..this happens because if child spends more time with mother he feels mother's love greater than father's love..as father will be busy with his job and mother is a housewife or it may happen in this that child may love father as he is busy with his work and mother always pointing his wrongs so he may feel his father's love greater than mother's love ... its just thought of mind of children but not parents love is having any difference...

One can say that both parents love us so much, we cannot compare. But there are things that are different between mothers and fathers. It is said that a mother's love is the nearest thing to God's love. Considering why this is said so, you can find that mother's love is unselfish, it does not bother about whether the child gives her respect, treats her well, etc. But father's love atleast expects atleast good manners in return. To say something of an example, I can say my father was crazy about me, I being my parents only child, but he could not think of how his behavious would affect me and that caused problems in my life. Although I and my mother do not get along so well, surprisingly, it was she who understood my helplessness and tried to be as supportive as she could be. That's when I began to respect my mother more.

Well as mother and father both lovesus equally same as we do to them too.Its just the way of expressing if different.But mother love is superoir because mother and child has special bonding cause mother keeps his baby for 9 months is her womb and only she knows what she has been through and then she gives birth to her baby all the pain she suffers but still Mother and baby love is precious.We love our father too offcourse it is our blood relation But as father relation is not that close as of mother's.

I really can't say if a mothers love is greater than a fathers, because all situations are different. I grew up not knowing my father, but I still don't think that he loves me any less than my mother...I feel that he wasn't here because there was no chance of him making it in his life if he didn't leave....Yes it hurts me to know that I wasn't a good enough reason for him to stay, but I can't pass judgement on him based on that reason. I think a mother and fathers love is equal, but there is just a difference in the way they show it.

I love them both, but frankly speaking, I love mom more than I love my dad,for mom always offers me more love than dad does.

Well I guess it depends on how much your parents want to be involved in their children's lives. In my experience I never met my father until I was 18 so I can clearly say the my mother's love for me was greater because her love was the only love I had. In a father's prespective some would love their children like in the old days where father's concern themselves with the upbringing of their kid "Keep you on the straight and narrow." but now a days especially with my generation of teen fathers they wouldnt even careless, unless their kids get into their own toys like ps2's computer's or their kid hid their bling bling or their car's keys. Well love is dependent on the person who gives it, and how much he or she wants to give. Whoever your parents are give them the love that is due to them and most especially the respect and care.
