do you like your mather more than your father? your father than your mother? do you like them equally? or you don't like them at all...me, i like my mother more...maybe because she is with us more often than our father since our father is workaholic and spends almost everyday of his life, every hour of his day, working

I don't know why it is so, that i love my mother more than my dad. Like you mentioned it might be because of what my father was like he was always away from us when i was a kid, i remember he use to come home on Friday for the weekends as his posting was very very from our place so he was staying there in a rented house. Anyway i general it does not mean that i love my mom but i love them equally now. I really feel sorry for what i have been thinking about so long about my dad. Anyway i think this happens to most of us as we are more close to our mom than our daddy.

aw that must be very hard for you, as you hardly get time to be with your parents. I feel sorry for you anyway it does not matter if they love us and care for us. Take care and be strong

Yes, I love my mother more! My father was pretty much absent from my life. My mom provided me with a loving, stable home. We were never wealthy but I never went without. She worked hard to raise me when I was younger as a single mom. I love my father JUST because he's my father but the love I have for him could never compare to the love that I have for my mother.

I felt guilty about it but yes I like my mother more. I don't feel guilty now because like is different from love. It doesn't mean if I like my mother better that I don't love my father. Maybe because my mother has more quality time with us that we feel more attached to her. My father had less time for us because he was always busy with his very demanding job which takes most of his time. What's important is the love we have for them is equal.

I like both my parents, for different reasons. I can have a good laugh with my mother and act silly whereas with my father I can have good discussions about current events and life in general. I can do the same with my mother, but it's different. They're both great to talk to anyway.

i don't like them both. although i hate my father more. my mother and i never got along and i got kicked out at 13. i never met my father until that age and i only knew him for a little while and then he stopped talking to me.

I love both my parents very much, they have both been a part of my life since the day I was born but if I had to choose I would choose my father. The reason i chose my father is my whole life he worked hard to provide a good life for his 3 children and he did a very good job. No matter how hard he worked he always made time to take us to the park to play with us, or even to the store to get us some candy. It was the little things like that I will always cherish. I instill that into my life today.. No matter how hard you work make time for your family. My dad still works hard to this day but now he gets to make time for his his grown children as well as his granchildren.
