Well, when I was small, I was closest to my father. Unlike everybody else, I always stopped crying and laughed whenever my father picked me up. My father always spoiled me and made me happy.However, as I grow up, I'm closer to my mother, because I get good advices from her time to time . And she doesn't scold or beat me, she always talks to me in a patient and gentle kind of way to help me understand what I did wrong and etc. She loses her temper once in a while, but she's a very understanding mother.I can't say who I'm closer to the most. I love them both, and I always have the same amount of conversations of similar topics and when I get angry at my parents, I don't get angry at one and run to the other. My father may be short-tempered and not-so open-minded and quite a person for details and understanding (which I inherited from him. I have to say, my personality is just like his, no wonder I always like to talk back at him) and look scary even if he doesn't smile (although he isn't unhappy) but he's a kind and loving father.However, I would say I'm closer to my mother, all the things about getting advice from my mother. But that doesn't mean I'm not close to my father of course.

i am closer to my mom than my dad. even though we argue on things but we still manage to understand each other. i become distant from my dad as i was growing. as a teenager i was a little naughty. we fought alot when i was a teenager. i grew distantly from him.

Hi there! I'm closer to my mother because I grew up with her. My dad worked overseas and he would come home once a year and spend 2-3 weeks with us. So I was able to bond more with mom. But that's not to say that I don't get along with my dad. Whenever he's around, he makes sure that he makes up for lost time with me and my sisters. He's a real cool dad. It's just that I went through a lot more with my mom that's why I feel closer to her.
