Of course I love both our parents, our father and mother. However, some of us love our father more than we love our mother or vice versa. Me, I love both my parents, but I would say I love my mother more than I love my father. My mother was so kind, understanding, giving and loving while my father was quite strict, more disciplinarian.Or maybe because I am a woman I can relate more to her than to my father. My only regret is that I was not able to show my mother my love and care until she passed away. That care and love I was able to show to my father before he passed away. How about you?

I love both parents equally, I speak to my mother more as women tend to talk more on the phone, whereas as my dad it is usually a hello how are convesation quick update then bye. I don't think you can love either more or less it just different love, as with your children you love them all the same but perhaps see one more than another, speak to one more than another or clash at times with another depending on their age and what life situations are happening at any given time. Sorry that you have lost both parents, that must be hard. Mine are both still living although neither has good health

Thanks for the response. Youre a good daughter as the love is just the same. Maybe as I noted before me, being a woman tends to be more close to my mother. And I do love my father also.

There is no more, but two best. I both love my father and mother best. The question is just like which hand do you love more, your left or right. I think there is not only one best. hehe.

I couldn't choose one parent that I love more than the other. I love them both the same. I am a little bit closer to my dad in that I talk to him more often and I feel like he understands me better, but that doesn't mean I love him more.

I love both my parents. However, I seem to be closer to my my mother instead of my father. However, i wish it was the other way around. My mom likes to get too involved in my decision making and everything and my dad wants me to make my own choices and learn from them. My mom is kind of a controler while dad believes i should be left to make my own choices. My dad understands more than my mom i guess. she's set in her ways. My dad is more open minded and easy going and stuff. good thing i'm more like him.

Its good for you, at least there are opposite things in your ways. Both are not guiding you in one direction. Get the best from both of them. Continue loving them. Thanks for the reply and sorry for the late comments.

I love them both but I have a better relation with my mother, I live with her, since my parents got divorced (just a couple of months ago). It´s nos legally done yet, but we are no longer living with my father. I love him a lot, as he is my father and I will always love him, but we have a kind of strange relationship; he is a complicated person, so we have some kind of distance between us... I would like to show them how much I love them, but sometimes it´s complicated.. greetings

I've always loved my dad much more than my mom. Mom and I just don't get along at all. Mom was somewhat abusive when I grew up while dad was the calm safe person I could always talk to about anything and I never really got past all that she did and said.

I love my mom more then anything because when i was 3 my father left my mom and i and we had to get by. Of corse cause i was so young i could not do anything so my mom had the biggest job in the world taking care of me a doing her full time job. Then she married my step father and its been great ever since.

Same as you, I love both of my parents. I don't love them equally but I love them with no conditions. Since I could remember my dad has showed me the utmost respect verses all my mom has ever been know for was her disrspect for her children. I love m dad a lot even though most of the time he is absent but what allows me to love him even though he is absent when he comes around he treats me with so much respect. He surpasses the disrespect shown to me from my mother.

Seems you love more of your father, but you are saying you love them both. There might be reasons why your mother is sometimes disrespectfull of you, maybe she is just trying to guide, to protect you from whoever wanted to take advantage of you. Shes being a father and mother when your father is away makes her attitude that way. Do love both of them always. Thanks for the response and sorry for the late comment.

I have a lot more in common with my Mum, we can sit together and chat for hours without it feeling awkward in any way. But I'm not sure if this is because my Dad left when I was about 13. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a bad split, in fact my parents are best friends so it has made life very easy, but my dad still looks at me as a child, he hasn't seen me grown, go through horrible experiences, feel the wrath of my tongue when I have PMT, I'm always on my best behaviour because we don't see eachother often. I just don't feel as though we connect very well, I'm not sure if that's anyones fault. but as far as love goes, I would still have to say they're equal, though I see my Mother more as a person that a relative. I feel I love her because I want to, not because I have to. Nica x

So you love both of them. Youre like a friend and sister to your mother. It maybe a little distance from your father that initially youre saying you love your mother because you want. Its nice giving and writing your feeling to both of them. Thanks for the comment and sorry for the late reply.

I would definately agree with the others. My love for my parents isn't a more or less issue. As with every other human I may have a closer bond to my father than my mother, but I have realized that with time my bonds of one issue was closer one parent than the other, but could be opposite for another issue.

Yes, youre right. It should not be my issue for discussing, it should be how close are you to your parents. Thanks for the response.

When i was younger, i loved my father more becos he does not beat me much but my mum can beat me even if you make a small mistake, so that actually affected our relationship, later i began having problem with my dad because i was not doing well in school, then i changed my mind and use to run to my mum cos then she cover me up. I think both of them have their own role in our life. We just have to understand them both and love them for who they are.

Yes, that is very true, it is what they are doing and showing to us make us choice on whom we care more. But we love them both. Thanks for the response.
