is mother's love greater or father's?

i don't think a mother's love is greater than a father's. they both have extraordinary love for us. it only differs in the way they show it. it doesn't mean that if my dad spends less time with me, he doesn't love me enough as compared to my mother. i still know that he loves me and works hard because he wants to provide the best for the family. a parent's love for his children is always the greatest love of all. every parent wishes the best for his child. i love them both and they both love us all equally.

this is such a hard topic to admit to! wow. i always say that i love both of my parents just the same. now that i read your question, i am not so sure if i am being honest to myself. i know for a fact that i am a lot closer with my mom than i am with my dad. i love my mom with all of my heart and she is also like a best friend to me. as for my dad, i can say that i love him...but honestly, i dont really like the guy. he is very full of himself when it comes to intelligence. and for this, he thinks that everything he says is right, and that nobody can argue with him, since he is always right. you can try and try to prove your point, but it wont get thru to him. i also dont like how sexist he is. he is your good ole mexican man. yes, he is the man of the house and we females are supposed to serve him hand and foot. if he could have had it his way, i would be living with him and pampering him (my parents are divorced). i would be cooking for him whenever he wanted something to eat, i would be rubbing his back, keeping the house clean, and ironing all of his clothes...including socks! i know he loves me, but i feel like he resents me for not cowering in a corner whenever he talk to me. i do not talk back to him, but i do let him know my opinion, he doesnt like that. so i dont know if its so much that i love my mom more, or that i just dont like my dad much.

well both love us however mother shows it but father doesnt mother cares for u in very obvious and seen way where as fathers dont do that i think both are important and so is their love

I think they both love us equally its just that Moms are more expressing than fathers

I love my dad more than my mom. My mom is a very selfish person, and I will probably never forgive her for what she did to my family and me several years ago. I started college this January 2,000 miles from home. In March I was home for a week over spring break, and my mom didn't once contact me or try to see me, despite not having seen me in over two months. She was too preoccupied because that week her girlfriend got out of jail after being in there for over a year. My birthday is on Monday. I'm anxious to see if she'll actually call, considering we haven't spoken in over a month.

I love both parents equally but I feel that mother loves more than the father.

I love my Mom more then my Dad and I know that my Mom loves me more then my Dad. My parents were married twice and got divorced twice from each other. My dad is not the greatest person and my Mom mainly raised me. I'm sure my dad loves me in some way but he doesn't really know me or "get" who I am as a person. My Mom does and we have a great relationship and many people in the past have told me how they envied my relationship with my Mother. But with that being said, we are still our own seperate people and have a normal relationship. I never understood how many people can say that their mom is their best friend because a mother should be a mother. You can get along great with your Mom and if that is the case, then the role of Mother is something special in itself, the role of best friend should be kept seperate. Of course that's just my opinion. I have three kids myself and I am their mother, not their best friend. They can come to me with anything.

have you heared about favorite son or daughter?? every parents have their own favorites in the family although they love us equally but certain situations or acts that have been shown by their sons/daughters that keeps them their favorite such us frequent huggings,always come on time at home and always obedient to either mom or dad...

ofcourse they are equally but some people thought mother love them more because father not worry like mothers and others love fathers because they thought their mother treat then badly and fher nice but this because he is out allday so when he come he not know what mistakes they do so treat them nice but mother know everything they do

There are those who will argue that the maternal instinct is stronger, and so the love is stronger, due to those nine months that the mother carried the child. I don't think that a parents love is greater frm a mother, or father, I think that both are capable of great love, and both of not loving a child that much. It varies. I know of a case where the father is the more loving and nurturing of two. So I would say it is individually based from family to family. Just as a parent will love all their children and many will not show the bias they feel, often there is a child who is favored for one reason or another, sometimes there seems to be no rhyme or reason to this, just human chemistry. Why is that some fathers are more loving towards sons than daughters, why is that some are more loving to their daughters? It happens, just as some women are more loving towards sons or daughters respectivly. Sometimes the mother is more loving parent, sometimes the father is more loving, sometimes we love our dad's more, sometimes we love our mom's more. In my case I do think that my father loved his children very much but he didn't know how to deal with his own life let alone those of his children. Or sometimes one parent shows more love than the other, because a parent doesn't know how to show it.

well for me both are equal... they both love me equally... as a matter of fact, u can't compare the love parameter of ur parents that who love u more... for them u are same... and here is the suggession for those who love only one person that stop doing that... they both care for u and expect the same from u... thanx

for me...it's equal...both of them...because that is what i can see to the love of my parents for me..and i am very thankful to God for giving me a mother and father like them. =)

I think it may be no good measuring parents' love at all. They have their own different ways of showing love. Sometimes we can't understand some kinds of love, then we maybe don't like one of them so much. But someday you will know what the truth is. In a word, time tells.

Hi manish243236.. I dont want to identify loving one parent more than the other.. I mean its obvious my Mum did do EVERYTHING..but I was always closest to my Dad- which I think my Mum holds against me til this day..as Ill still defend his name if anyone 'bad talks' him.. I love them both..unconditionally.. whether I love one more than the other..is still unanswered though.. (",)

mothers are the strongest people in the world. =)

In my Opinion both Father and Mother make perfect parent for their kids.Neither the father nor the mother is rated above each other......both of them equal and have equal respect and prefrences.......If an individual is sucessful in life,most of the sucess lies because of love and blessing of theit parents...

well i think mother's love is greater then father because father can give you support but not great love
