Mom vs Dad

it is in human psychology that girls experience Electra complex as what Sigmund Freud claimed in his observation. It means girls feel closer to their dads and sees their moms as competitor of their dad's attention. The tip is simple. continue to love her that includes spending time with her, communicate, play and etc. love is priceless and being a mother comes once in a lifetime. If time is gold then why not spend it with the one you love?

Many said to me before that daugthers are really closer to their father than their mother. It's like they are drawing a certain strength from their father. I used to be closer to my dad when I was still a kid. But now that I'm a mother, I'm more closer to my mom because she's always guiding me on how to become a better parent. I think there is always a stage when kids are more closer to one parent over the other which I think will pass in time. Before, my daugther is more closer to my husband than me. She would always cling to her father than me. Of course, i feel a little jelousy. But now my daugther is more closer than me than my husband even if we spend the same of time of time with her. Don't worry. I don't think we are doing something wrong. It all depends on the moods of our kids.

well for now, my daughter favours me over her dad. not sure how i'd really feel if it were the other way around. i however, spend much more time with her than her dad does. they do say though that girls are generally closer to the dads than the moms. perhaps thats just all it is. maybe ask her what her dad does that she loves so much or what is it about her dad that she just finds so special....probably the smallest thing that really just sticks with her.

I think it depends on a lot of factors. In my son, I'm guessing that it really depends on his moods. He's associated his mom (that's me) with milk, nurturing and warm hugs and his dad with fun and play. So guess who he looks for when he wants his "vroom vroom" (car ride) and who he looks for when he's hungry. :D

I myself is guilty. There are times I favor my Mom over my Dad and situations when i favor my Dad over my Mom. It is to my Dad to whom I confessed that I had my first bf and to whom my now-husband and I asked permission for marriage. I can easily talk to my mom over my dad especially when I am requesting for something. With my baby, she likes me over her dad when she's awake but when she's already sleeping, she runs after her papa's smell. Sub-consciously, which is more honest than our conscious thoughts, she prefers her papa over me. I can say that my baby is fair to both of us.

My son favors his dad over me and I don't mind-most of the time. Sometimes I feel bad because it is like I do everything to take care of him 99% of the time and I want the special attention!! But I get hugs & kisses so it isn't a big deal. He cries and cries when my hubby goes to work, but when I leave the house he doesn't even notice!!
