Are you closer to your mom or dad?

hello simone! i agree with you that in our childhood years, we are really close to our parents always want to tail them and cry whenever we don't see them...haha but as we grow older, situation changes coz we want to be more independent and some differences between parents & children arise... on my part, when i was a kid, i am more close to my mom! coz she's always there for me, she's a full time house wife & full time mom to me...and as you know i am an only child for 10 years...while dad is always at work and very seldom do he stays at home & when he's home, its either he's sleeping or watching tv! haha and he's kinda strict to me and don't talk much...and as i grow older, there's some issues arouse in our family that makes my feelings distant to my father, actually we are some kind of enemies that time haha and don't talk to each other...hehe but since i get married, my father slowly changed for the better and along with it, our relationship also changed for the better... right now, i an proudly say that i am closer to my mom & dad...and when we are together we are more like of a 'peers'...haha or brothers & sisters with my brother & my husband... we can really talk about anything & everything under the sun without feeling hesitant and without any fear of being scolded or misjudged or misunderstood... and i am really happy about it and i see it as a big blessing in our family! but hen it comes to some personal problems, or marital problems, i don't usually share this to my parents, i don't want them to worry about us... i just pray & try to fix it myself with my husband... have a good day!

I was closest to my father until he passed away. Despite the differences between my mother and I, I am very lucky to have been given the chance to reconcile and bond with her during the last 5 years of her life. She just passed away last October 2008.

I was closer to my Mom, but she passed away Oct. 3,2009 ! I got along better with her, because she had a lot more sense than my Dad does! He is really hard for me to get along with, I only put up with him because he is my Dad, but sometimes, I find it hard to take! Now I know why she was in charge, she was a better commander!

I am both close to them and i treat them fairly although they have their own favorites child which is very obvious even though they mention they love all their children but one could sense they favor their favorite child even though it is the mischievous one. Then, the eldest or the youngest were the favorites most of the times. As one mature i do now solve my own worries as much as i could and i do not like to give them some problem which could make them think a lot of worries..

My mom would usually be at work late hours and so I was always with my dad. So I have to say I am closer to my dad before. But when I had a child of my own already, I had a gap between my dad. But I loved being around my dad. He was the best dad ever and if I had one day to spend the whole day with him it would just be sitting in front of the television and eating snacks. I just love the comfort of sitting right next to my dad.

from my childhood iam closer to my dad compared to my mom.i have one elder brother,my mom's support is only to my brother and my dad's support is only to me.so when i used to make any mistakes my mom used to scold dad used to advise me.In some of the homes one child will be encouraged while the other be discouraged. In our home care,affection and obedience is equally balanced between me and my brother by my mom and dad.

my mom but it was not always the same. WhenI was a kid I was very near to my father but as the time passed by I realised that mom's are best friends of a girl becoz we can discuss many things only with her.

I love my mom and dad,but I used to keep what I am thinking in my heart because I think I should experience them by myself.

I have been away from home, away from my parents for 8 eight years. After senior high school, I go to University in big cities. After graduation, i worked in that city which is hundreds of miles away from my hometown. Although i went back home two or three times every year, i feel there was a huge distance from my parents.

hey simonelee! I would have to say that I'm more closer to my mom than my dad only because that up until this day, I never saw my father's face. So its easy for me to say that. I talk to my mom about anything and everything and our relationship is like peanut butter and jelly. Happy holidays and Happy mylotting!!

Hi I have always been close to My dad.He is my world.I have never been closer to my mom, but for me my Dad has been my freinds,philospher and guide.I got married and have settled overseas due to which I dont get to see him much but there's not a single day when I don't miss him.

Well my mom's home most of the time but i can't choose between any

I am closer to my mom before.I am much closer to my son after I got married.Things always changed.

When I was younger, I was more attached to my mom, as I grew older, I ended up moving in with my dad, as they had split up. Now, as an adult, I don't know my mother at all and my dad doesn't even so much as call me. I got kicked out of my dad's house by the time I turned 14. I can only hope my kids will be closer to me, than I am to my parents.

I was always closer to my dad. We loved the same things and had the same interests. We did little things together, like make popcorn on Friday evenings, that are still special to me 50 years later. My mother and my brother always got along great, but I never hit it off with my mother. Unfortunately, Dad passed away in 1986, and I miss him still. I've grown somewhat closer to my mother over the years, but we'll still never have the same relationship I had with my dad.

Hi simonelee! My dad and I had been best buddies ever since. I'm closer to my dad than my mom because I can feel that she is closer to my brother. I mostly ran to my dad whenever I had problems. My mom is always the back up. But still, I love them both. Happy mylotting!

I would say, my mother. If simply because she is the one who spends more time with all her children. Most of the time she's always there to accompany me during the time time of hardship and problems. My mother is a full-time mother to us. So I think I would cry more when she will be gone than with my father.

For me botha re equal.There are some things that i sahre with my dad and not with my mon.the same goes other way round.so i dont know whom Iam close to.For me I love them both and cant imagine a life without them. HAPPY HOLIDAYS

I treat them both equal, there are some things i shared it to my mom, and some to my dad.when i was in my teens i use to sleep beside them.:) but now im married and very far away from them., I learned to love them more and appreciate all the things that they had done for me. I love and treasure them.:)

I am closer to my dad than my mom. my parents are divorced and my mom is a real loser so i am living with my dad and he is awesome. i am much closer to him than my mom.
