Do you agree to it?

there's a theory like this "Father is the first boyfriend to his daughter; and mother is the first girlfriend to her son" that's why whether it's realized or not; girls always looking for "father figures" as boyfriend and boys up to "mother figures" don't you think so?

I was thinking of my situation and you have a point. My mother is closer to my brother and I think I am much closer to my father. I don't really know what is the logic or psychology behind this.

Youless, i do discovered that my son seems more close to me than to my hubby. Whenever i asked him help me to take something, he would surely helping me out. But, when my hubby asking him, sometimes he would help and sometimes he would said excuses. Sometimes, i do feel weird when seeing most sons are attached more to their mother than to their father. And like you said, daughters are usually seen more attached to their father. Just something which seems confusing and hard to explain...

This was the situation with my parents. I was much closer to my father than my brother was. He was much closer to my mother than I. Come to think of it, most of my friends have the same kind of relationships. My friend has a 42 year old son that lives at home and he is a big help to her and much closer than he is to his dad.

wow,,very sweet. You are really blessed to have a wonderful son like him. Well, I guess I agree with that. In my case I'm close to my mom and my younger brother is close to my dad..

Very much yes, dady's girl and mama's boy are the words made for the similar reason, girls are much near to their fathers and boys are nearer to their mothers. your son had a sweet incident for you, just your hubby missed a daughter.

That does not always hold true. Both my brothers and I were closer to our mother than our father. It's a matter of personality.

I believe so. This is saying through life experience. I have a friend and I know them personally well as I used to stay with the family every month I travel during the cause of my work for a week. His son is very close to the mother. The daughter is very attached to the father. This is on example. Another friend told me that his friend's children: the son is very close to his mother whereas the daughter is close to the father. My own son is very close to his mother.

I think there are psychological proofs behind this. The Oedipus complex and Electra complex. In my own case, I'm a lot closer to my dad,too. And he plays a key role in the characteristics I look for in my boyfriend. It is soooooo sweet for your son to do that for you. He's awesome~

Yes I think so. But it really usually depend on how the kids are raised. In our known culture, sons are for mothers, and daughters are for dads. The law even goes with that idea. Because of that thinking, parents tend to maybe spend a lot of time for children that they were supposed to be close to. It's kind of planted in our minds, so we do it and we end up having the result we have in our mind.

My daughter cannot live without me at this point in time of her life. She needed me and wants me to be with her even as she sleeps. But I could see too that she is a daddy's girl. I could see how her eyes would lit up whenever her daddy arrives from work. She can't help but dance and laugh louder when daddy is finally home. I don't get jealous or something for such attitude of my baby girl co's my friend has told that my baby would think that mommy is her rival with daddy's love and attention.. it's because she's a girl. A son would feel the same towards his daddy the same felling the girl's having towards her mom just because a girl is closer to dads and son is closer to moms. I can't wait to have a son too :)

Yes i agree with u.......my bro is very close to my mom n myself closer to my dad.. if we play any games at home lik caram , batmitton etc..,then my dad n me one team n my mom n bro one team...we ll be feel free,happy wen we play together:):):)

i am a single father, my girl grew up with me, i am older than her by 19 years, we just look like friends whenever we go out, some may even think we were bf/gf. she sleeps in my room even in her college days, she is married now and daily she sends me "i love you" messages in my cell phone.... she calls me "popsie"... and i don't know why...until now i forgot to ask...if i will remember tomorrow i will ask her why she calls me that....hehehehe.

Hi Youless! I am only blessed with a son so I can say that my son is very much attached to me.Same time I find my son copying my husband that is his Dadd lot! He is his role model.Sometimes I get confused that who is his favorite.Well i don't mind him to be neutral rather I find it sweet.I have heard people saying that sons are very much attached with their moms and daughter are to their fathers.I agree that too because I was very much attached to my father. I think I have to wait few more years to understand this!Thanks!

Maybe in most families it does happen. I have 3 kids- 1 daughter and 2 sons and my daughter and youngest son are very close to me. My youngest son who is 14 years old still sleeps with me- most of the time. I guess it depends on how the parents treat their kids.

It's a phenomenon, huh. Although I'm not really close with my mom. I'm closer with my dad. I guess it's because my mom was the stricter one when I was little. My dad was the cooler one.

Maybe that is true to some families. Coz when I was growing up, my dad wasn't always at home and even if he is, he has this persona of being strict and so I am afraid of him. But of course, when I grew up I realized that behind that mask is a sweet and soft heart. He just looks tough but he is sensitive. I think I am mostly like him.

in my family,yes,this is true,i'm closer with my father while my brother closer with my mother. but when it comes to my husband's family,it's different. my husand seldom communicate with his mother,he prefers to discuss all things with my father in law.

I have 4 daughters and 1 son and they all are very close to me. They can't stand their father so I can't say if it comes to that. They also do not want contact with him and have no respect for his way of living/the choices he made and the way he behaved. I don't think that will ever change. I myself had no contact with my mother, I think this bond was never there already as a baby, she did not want me/us kids (esp. for the eldest my sister). So I did feel closer to my dad, although he was never there either and if beating us up as well. I know as I was older I noticed what kind of father/man he really was. I can't approve his behaviour either so he fall a long long way down from the "pedestal" I put him on as a kid. My friend has 10 children, boys and girls. Except for the youngest child (a boy) nobody can stand the father either. Must say the father is only friendly to his youngest son and this boy has a complete different character (if you can speak of a character at all). I also heard that boys are very sweet to their mom. This is the case with my son, but I have to admit he is sweet to his sisters as well and everyone around him (always giving compliments which includes the mothers and grannies of class mates as well). If I look back I think my father, but also my uncles did invest a different kind of attention into their daughter. They liked them more because they thought the daughters are adoring them way more and for a longer time as a boy would do. But I guess this all has to do with culture or.. In my family all men liked to have a daughter way more as a son. One son is enough. I guess because of that reason.

Hi friend, i too heard about this quote and saw a lot of lively example, both of my sons are very much attached with their mothers, they also play with me and give importance to me, but have more affection and attachment with my mother. I don't have any daughter
