In a family we have people we are close to very much. This is somebody that you will tell anything that affects and you would feel good about it. But you are also sure that your problem will be solved. But there are those that you might not even attempt to explain anything happening to you. They say that most ladies would talk talk their mothers , but I have come to realized that boys really approached their mothers freely when in trouble than there fathers and anyother persons. Whom do you approach when having a problem.

I am a Mother and when I have problem it's my hubby that I consult first more than anyone else. With regard to my son, I noticed that everytime he has problem, he goes first to me to ask for advice. It's not that he is closer to me because he is also very close to his father. Maybe because he finds more comfort in my motherly love so he prefers to consult me first. When I was single, I also would go first to my Mom when I had a problem. Moms are normally easy to speak with and could be very understanding.

Great to hear that, I believed you were close to your friend because you were still in high school and that probably the person you would approach most when you had a problem.

My mother is my confidante. Of course, I talk things over with my husband too, but my mom has always been the person I run to whenever something's up, good or bad.

My kids....depending on what kind of problem I have.....usually though it's one of my daughters.....my son is still quite young and though he thinks he knows alot he doesn't .....and since he is a man he think differently then I do....so usually it's one of my daughters.

I am very closer to my family as well, I can consult to any of my family members specifically my mother or sister. However, when I have a problem and need some advice or assistance, I find my mother easily to talk to. I freely approached her whenever there's troubling me or got problems.

When it comes to talking to family it's usually my mom. Also my dad but just depending on the situation. I feel like I can talk to either of them about anything and they will always be there to help me no matter what.

My mom. But sometimes I talk to my dad. But they're the persons I discuss things with like problems. I have two sisters but I hardly discuss problems with them. My boyfriend doesn't discuss problems with his own parents but with my mother. His parents don't really listen, but always have an answer. I think that's also a big factor in the person you choose to discuss problems with.

I tend to prefer not talking with family members about problems. When it's an issue in the house that I can't take anymore, however, I discuss it with my dad. Sometimes I talk with my older cousin, but I only see her during summer and it's not often we're alone with each other since she works and has a three year old kid. I talk about other problems with one of my close friends. I do have one teacher who knows about a situation I'm in and I only talk to her about it; I prefer less people knowing the reasons of my bad moods. *Shrugs and looks away.* xD

I approach my younger sister when I have problems.She does the same too.We know what each one is going through so we tell each other everything but there are times when her tongue slips.

I have a very small family of my husband and two small kids. So I don't have any other person except my husband to consult.

I have always gone to my mother for any problem I have big or small. She has always tried to help in any way that she can. I would go to my husband first now though and then my mom between the two of them I hope the problem could get fixed.

Usually I would tell my mom,not ask her.But I'm also very close to her.If I have a problem,I will consult my good friends.Just cause the way of thinking is so different between me and mom.

I would say my mom. She always has the right answers. Usually her answer is the most moral thing to do
