Are girls closer to their Mothers than boys?

I think a topic similar to this was put up by you only. Why you have put the topic in different form?

I think I have always been closer to my mom. My twin sister is closer to my dad and will do anything for him. My sister and my mom are very much alike and they clash in a lot of things, however, they do try to get along. As for my son, both of us are close to him only because he is the only child. He spends a lot more time with me and i know i baby him too much and am very over protective, but he will always be my boy, even if i have another child and its a girl.

From what i've noticed it's the other way around. Although it does depend on what the child and parents are like. Normally who ever is the win over is most liked, as one is striked and don't bad down over things. (not all) I'm a mummy's boy. My father isn't excatly "fun" but i respect him for who he is.

i dont know...my other half is a mummys boy but im a daddys girl, well i was

I think an infant has the tendency to be closer to the parent of the opposite gender. From what I have learned, this could even extend till late childhood (some even thru adolescent stage or even later). Perhaps you have grown to be closer to your father because you have formed an image of a role model in his person. In short, you can identify yourself with him. This may happen also with girls who are closer to their moms. But of course, as I have mentioned, this isn't always true, like in the case of my female friends who are closer to their dads. I think it also depends on who has spoiled the person while young, and who between the parents is the disciplinarian (or shows over-protectiveness).

When I was younger, I was a bit of a Daddy's girl, it often changed though. If my Mum and Dad argued, I would normally lean towards my Mum more but I loved them equally. Over the years, my parents got divorced and as time went by I started to be in touch less with my Dad, so our closeness has changed a lot over the years. I see my Mum quite often these days and we go swimming together twice a week. I have found we have grown closer over time, we talk far much more now together then we ever did, when I was growing up. I still don't love one parent more than the other though, despite being closer to one than the other, I love them both the same, well after all, there is a little bit of them both within me.

It all depends on the Mother and the situation in which they live. I am closer to my daughter since she is girl. I am more closer to my son because we are so alike and I love men so. I have at times been both mother and father and this is what makes me close to each of them for different reasons. I was Daddy's girl, however, my best times were with my Mom, she understood me better.

I was closer to my Dad till one age and then I became closer to my mom. Now I talk to mom a lot more than my dad. I think this changes over a period of time.When we are kids we are daddy's girl and later we are closer to our mothers.

There is no difinite that girls are always closer to their mother, it all depends on the personality of the children and the mother, ususally like personality traits will form a stronger bond.

When I was a child I hardly ever saw my dad as he was always out working .. but I always preferred dad ... I've never been close to my mother .. my sister feels exactly the same .. both of us couldn't wait to move out .. But I was very good friends with my dad over the last 20 years or so of his life .. he never really felt like a parent .. more of a friendly 'old chap' I knew well ..

I was always a daddies girl. Mum and I argued pretty much all the time so I used to disappear into the shed and help dad or go and help him fix the car

It just depends. For a lot of children, the opposite is true, with mothers and sons being closer, and fathers and daughters. Hence, "momma's boy" and "daddy's girl" euphemisms.

Well they always talk of girls as being closer to their Fathers, and real "Daddies' girls", but to be honest I was aways closer to my Mother, We were more like sisters or best friends, than Mother and daughter.

in my situation my sons more of a mommy's boy and my daughters daddy's girl. it just all depends i guess on the situation

not alwayas this depends upon the nature of boy or girl

I have always known it to be the other way around :) I've always known little boys to have a closer bond with their mother - Mummy's boys & then like myself, little girls for some reason are clother with their dad's - could be a feeling safe thing - i was always & still am a Daddy's girl! I guess things change when you have single parents or maybe when there is an only child as that child wouldn't have to share either parent. It would probably depend on the child as well but i dunno really, all i know is that i'm a daddy's girl - even at almost 26!

I accualy was always daddys lil girl and my little brither was always a mamas boy. I guess we swiched geans! Mabey its because we were born one the some day three years apart and on devils night!
