Ever since i was a kid, i am closed with my father...but as i became more mature, i became more closer to my mom...and i would say she influences me now most than my father...maybe because she's a girl too like i am...it's pretty cool because i can tell and open up all my secrets to her...we can do chitchat together but only if i have time, if not so very busy at work, or if i am at home from work...for me, my mom is really the best mom ever in the whole wide world...thank GOD i have a mom like her... So who influences you most, your dad or your mom?

well, both of my parents do have influence in each sides of them. I mean, Dad inspired me on several things that I could not get from females discussions. and Mom inspired me on other things which males don't have. I think both of them influence me in balance. also, Dad's experiences in working field will give me a lot of insight about the society, and Mom's experiences as a Mom and housewife and once as an employee will always give me some points of view about how she managed times and balance between work, socialization and home (family).

hello again. thanks for opening the discussion, and well, I think most parents themselves will also feel the same that they want their kids will get balanced influence from them. we can't only count on female side only or male side only, because we will need the understanding once we have a new life on our own either in society or interactivity or building a family on our own. so, I do appreciate both of my parents. :) I hope the others will also have balance influence from their parents too. the only thing I regret is that I know YAHUSHUA ha MASHIACH (original name of Jesus Christ) from a stranger, because my parents are not followers of Christ. :( I hope they will be saved in the future.

it's really my mother who influences me the most because she knows how i feel..when i'm depressed because of love, she's there to give me comfort, she gives me words of wisdom, i can open secrets to her and we laugh and cry when we are frustrated with some things..i'm so lucky that she's my mom..i love her so much and i thank God for all of that..i love my father too but it's my mom who is more closed to me..
