I always felt my mom loved me more than my dad,and my brother felt that my dad love is greater. Why is that in almost every family, parents love seem biased

I think it's just expressed differently, and felt differently. I think the mother's love is more unconditional, as even a murderer's mother still loves them. Or if the child turns out to be different somehow, the mother will still love them. The father may disown the child. The father has more expectations, the mother isn't too concerned, as she just wants her kid to be happy. This is generally speaking of course.

It is usaul that the kids feel always like this..mothe'r will have equal love to her kids but the first child will be more close to mom and feel that dad's love is less for him.it obviously happens for the second child too.since the first child gets more love from mom,it will expect the ame from the dad..

Eversince I gave birth to my 2 little ones, I was the one who take care of them. Naturally, whenever they have a problem or are not feeling well, they will directly approached me for help. But when they needed something or want to buy something, they will go to my husband. Its like there is a pattern within our house and my girls know whom to look for whatever arises. We just make sure to always remind them that we both love them equally. In your case, I think that you are closer to your mother because there are certain women's issues that we feel more comfortable sharing with the same gender. Likewise with your brother, maybe he felt ackward sharing things with your mom and prefer the company of your dad.

When I had my second baby, we thought that First baby, son, should not feel left out. So my husband used to spend much time with him. So my son became close to my husband. Later on my husband was on continuous transfers. Hence my daughters came close to me. It all depends upon who is close to the child and showing much concern for him/her that the child starts loving more.
