In my life I have witnessed several ups and downs and let me accept this that my mom was always beside me in my hour of need.My dad was a bit short tempered and so he wasn't as considerate as my mom.Even today whenever I face a problem I confide in my mom and she gives me a lot of mental support to overcome it.What about you,friends? Who has a bigger influence in your life your mom or dad?Share with us.

We all need to share every aspect of our life with somebody whom we trust.In times of need we can turn for their help.For some the help comes from friends but for a majority of us I believe it's the family or a particular member of the family who gives you comfort.It's nice to hear that your mom is your best friend and I think that it is the ideal situation.The same is with me.thanks for your response.

Both my mom and my dad has a greater influence in my life. because they have a different opinions in life.

You said that both your parents have different opinions..so that means that you are always flooded with conflicting ideas.Now how do you manage to strike a balance between different choices?

yah sometimes i get conflict with their ideas but not all. and they also tell me or guide which ideas i will choice. they both respect others opinions. and they were not that kind of person that will insist what they want. its up to me to decide but they guide me.

I can not say that one has had more influence of my life than the other as they both have been a great influence equally. I would not be where I am today without the love and support of my parents. They have done such a great job in taking care of me and helping me grow. Both of them have been there for me through good times and bad times. I feel that I can talk to either one of them when things are going good and when things are not going well. They are the best parents anyone could have or want.

For me, my mom has the greater influence. My dad has not lived with us for as long as I can remember - and so that means that I only look up to my mom! There has been no things that my dad does that i think i can say i am proud of....

who have the greatest influence in my life is motherhood. mother always tried to make me comfortable, and always encouraging to me. I wanted to reply to all that has been done by my mother. but I still have not been able to realize all. I still often trouble my mother. I am very saddened by this. .

of course I am very concerned with my child. I always tried to do the best for my child. although life I lead is very heavy, I do not want my child to feel what I feel.

There is nothing to feel sorry about friend.In fact you are one of the lucky few who have a considerate mother,someone you can rely upon when you are in a crisis.Indeed all that our parents do for us is really difficult to count and I feel sorry for all those who doesn't remember their parents when they grow old.Are you considerate towards your child the same way as your mother was considerate towards you?

Hi Naxous! For my life, the person who influence me the most is my mother. She is only a housewife but she has a good thinking and great planner. She can plan a good plan for he life and me too. If I do not hear her advice maybe I am not become someone like who I am now. My father is a great father too but he do not good in planning and sometime I am so angry with his several attitude. However he is still a good and great father for me. He also influence so much in my life. Have a nice day.

Friend you are lucky enough to have parents who plans for you while in my case there are instances when my dad interrupted a majority of my plans by just not paying heed to it.He had an attitude like whatever he thinks is right and everything else is wrong.So as you can see that there are people who are not as fortunate as you are.

It's nice to know that you learned certain things from your parents in fact that's the way it should be as we spend a major part of the life with them.However who stands by you in a crisis situation is it your mom or your dad more often?

Although I'm not close with my dad, I think he had the greater influence in me. He has been a very good business eventhough he did finish proper schooling (high school). My mom also influenced me being a housewife and an assistant businesswoman to my dad but I don't see myself as hands-on mom like she currently is.

It appears that you are diplomatic and at the same time you love your parents too much and so don't want to differentiate between them.That's fine..but isn't there any one who stood by you when you faced a crisis in your life?Why don't you share it with us?

If your will is strong enough then there is no reason why you can't support your mom and give her all the comforts that she deserves.Let me tell you something friend that in today's world it's very difficult to come across a young guy like you who has such high regards for his mom.Wish you all the best in life and thanks for your response.
