Are you closer to your mum or your dad?

I'm closer to my dad. I'm a daddy's girl. ^^ I love my dad so much!

Hi Iriene, My dad (bless his soul) has always been away from us because of work, he would only spend a week or two with us for a vacation, then he's out of our life again. This went on during our formative years and until we were adults and had our own lives, and this explains why all of us (I and my siblings) are closer to mom than dad. It's always mom that I run to for all my troubles. Even now that I have my own family, mom is still the first to comfort me when times get rough. As they say, history has a habit of repeating itself, coz now my husband works in another country and he's not here to see my kids grow. Good that these days we have technology like the internet, it helps keep us together even when we're physically apart. My kids are closer to me than their dad because of his absence, but we (my and my husband) know that we will be together soon as he doesn't want to be an absentee father forever.

I am closer to my mum as she use to stay home and not work outside she spent quality with me and we are really closer and she understands me better than my dad.

Iriene, surprise to see you still in MyLotting.. As for me, I am closer to my dad.. as we used to hang out together... but when got issues, I turn to my mum.. muahaha.. my mum always say I am those can share problem with her, but not wealth.. :p And nowadays, the maid are the one that is solving all this issue thing with the younger generation.. I remembered when I used to work as migration consultant, I got a client who apply for migration to Australia being the reason that the children are too close with the maid! They call the maid first thing in the morning than greetings the parents.. my client got panic of what is going on.. He would rather slog for more and send the whole family over to Australia than here! It's a sad thing that maid is closer than the parents nowadays, and I hope it will not be as bad as how my 3 cousins.. they are now ignoring the parents as a revenge of them working too hard to earn money! OK, I got to hit my pillow and bed

I could say that I'm more closer to my mom. I share everything with her and I'm more comfortable with her. But I do love them both.

that's a very good topic to start of with..i am a family brought up that is nuclear family.....where mom and dad is working so i have a very mutual feeling in both the case.i had a little sis that a very close to my mother but as per me i am mutual in both the feelings...so nothing special for me......

i am the only daughter, so i am my dad's darling, but i have to say i am closer to my mum - she's my teacher, my mentor, my guide, my pillar of strength.. as for my own kidz.. i am 'pretty' strict with them - so i wont be surprised if they'd say they're closer to their dad, but i am almost certain that they are actuall closer to me - because although i might 'lecture' them.. i am usually the one who finds solution to whatever problem they might have..

Generally i have found that boys do not like be closer with their parents. They want to live alone when they grwon up. They donot want any disturbunes. But i thing that this kind of life is more alone then to live in joint family.. I live with family and i love with my family..

I am closer to my dad so much I always share everything with him. I have not been so close to my mom, reason I really don't know. Now that I got married I think now I am not so close with anyone, because I don't share my personal life with any of them now. When I was with them unmarried I use to tell them my problems also but now I have not shared anything which was really sad. I always believe that after marriage one should not share everything with parents which may hurt them and try to solve their problem itself without their indulgent.

Lets talk about my 2 kids. My daughter is a papa girl. She knows papa love her so much . Hence she always seek help from papa whenever mummy scolds her. Of course I scold her when she did something wrong. In the other hand, my younger boy is so close to me. He only want me to accompany him to sleep, don't want papa at all. And he is a super glue like to stick with mummy.

Hi there mylotter.. Since woman also working now, some children are looking at maids for their need. Its very miserable moment i think, cause i'm working woman too,but we dont hire the nanny to take care my kids. I dont want the children close to the nanny than their parents. And for me it's more save to take care our children by parents itself.

Before I was married I was close to my mum. I have no dad to compare as my dad passed away when I was in my mum's womb.Now I am married and my son is closer to my wife than to me. Usually boys are closer to mothers than fathers and daughters are closer to fathers than mothers.

Hi Iriene, Nice to see a great topic... I am really close to my mum. She is so caring and listens. Our heart goes after the heart that listens right? She use to advise me , suggest me and from her experience I have learnt a lot. She prepares food everyday, struggles a lot for me and my dad. I love her so much... I too love my dad but he is diffenent only in the listeneing part. Also I feel boys have good attachment to mum and girls love their fathers. Is it so? I just wonder... Have a nice day... Cheers....

i personally am more closer mom than dad..my dad was in defensec when i was born..so he was a strict man enforcing discipline..he used to punish me on failing..well don't say he was cruel or m not projecting him in negative sense..he was indeed loving me..but my young heart was in constant fear..so i grew up as a mum's child...later on he moved to honeywell,he got busy..i used to speak to him only for some 15 minutes or so...so even then mom was the dearest.. now even im grown and father too has retired..so,as of now im close to both of them..n nothing left to fear my dad...

Im not sure who i am closer to! Im glad that my parents are still together, i have no idea who i would want to live with! Sometimes i prefer my mum, others my dad. I have things in common with each of them. More so my dad i would say. Me and my dad are quite similar. But he does annoy me a lot and we quite often have disagreements over certain issues! So i couldnt possibly choose really. I agree though, i tend to go to my mum more for every day things, or personal things. And to my dad more when i need something doing or have a problem that needs solving.

did you think that you have enough time to closer your mum or your dad?i think it is impossible to closer them.when i grow up,i must leave them alone to work and have no time to come home to see them,there are 365 days a year,i stay at homes several days with them.their children have growed up,they must learn why to live depending themself and become their owned family with partner,it is rule of life, we often live at busy days,but i knowed what my parents thought,they hope me to see them,i miss them too,if i can do,i can come back home to see my parents.

I am much closer to my Mom than my Dad. I just don't know why this is so! But all I know that is I love them both very much!

I am close to both of them. Both of them are equally important to me and I have respect for both of them. I love my mom-dad because they are very understanding and intelligent. They love me and I want to do something for them so as they feel proud of me.

i find myself to be closer to my mom because that's who i find myself spending the most time with. since my parents have split up i've found that our bond has grown.
