Between father or to mother: Whom do you think the child is more attached?

In my view...I believe when they are young, daughters are closer to fathers, and sons are closer to husbands. When the children leave the home to get married or school, then I think it reverses - daughters get closer to mothers because then they are more of a friend to each other than parent and child, and the same for the son who gets closer to fathers because they can now do adult male things together.

When it comes to strictness, the one who stays home and does more of the discipline can appear to be the stricter one, however it is often only because they have to dish it out more than the other parent. And it is often that the children don't listen to the stay at home parent as well, because they hear that same voice all day long, and they get used of it. Whereas when the working parent comes home, and they have to lay down the law with their kids, the kids tend to listen more because they are not used of hearing that authorative figure all day.

Sorry...I meant this a response to the poster, not directed just at you..lol

hi joy,
I observe it too and in my cases I am more closer to dad when I am still a kids then it slightly wean..but this closeness changes when I grow old as i am more closer to mom when it comes to heeding their advices when it comes to the matters of the hearts and girl talk which I could not ask my father as surely he have nothing to contributes. I see itself i am more closer to my father when I was still a kids as his constant companion wherever he goes out of the house. Thus, even up to now everything changes as my mom still feel strong while my father is quite the mellow types who are not easily mad after committing mistakes.

hi archie,
I am fine,How about you? The mother is the one who gives birth and therefore most children either males or females get more closer to mother. Thus, creating bonding which are very important to let the children be aware of shares parenting. Thus, when children grow up they would seek both the cares and advices from both parents.

That is really true and I myself observe from my own experience when I was at the age of 2 up to 6 years old I am a daddy's girl and I always accompany him and would cry every times I do not see him. Then, when I reach my teenager level, I am more closer to my mother as i could ask her about all the girl things which I could not ask to m father as he himself have limited information. Then, my father is not stricter to me in terms of doing the house hold chores and most of the times it is my mother then my father scold me when I come home late at night..So far all parents have different strategies when it comes to good parenting. Both are important. In your cases your daughter is closer to you and me too think it too when it means to the proximity as I am always my mom assistance, but when it comes to scolding my father is quite low in temperaments than my mom. Thanks for responding.

Yeah, that is the right balance of an ideal family when both parents are sharing equal responsibilities in managing their children lives guiding them toward learning the basic values which going to help them succeed in their future endeavor in life. Parents may not be always seen by children but they both love their children and have to work not just to stay at home as they need to earn through to survives the cost of daily living. Thanks for responding.

Especially the mother is always on the house tending to the needs of children and husband. Thus,the mother nurtures, cares and do a lot of household chores,children first teacher and their ever loyal friend who would always beside her children giving unconditional love. Father too care but often busy with his works. Thanks for responding.

Yeah, that true and even though children could not be made without the father help. Still the children are more attached to the mother who do all the responsibilities in the household chores, tending too the need both of the children and husband. Both a loving mother and wife.

Parents have their own shared responsibilities in nurturing and caring for their children but it varies who spend most of the times to children. Mother is the person who have most the concern for the welfare of their children, as started in the early childhood. Children are taught important manners including teaching them household chores being a helper to lighten the load of the mother. Mother too becomes the first teacher as she teach the children good values and then let the children learn the basic alphabet, spelling, reading and writing. Then, father could only see children after work and frequently spend with their children for a shorter times. Thus, the bonding between mother is more evidence having seen each other most of the times.

Yup,mother is the carriers of the baby for 9 months and the person who is always around on the household to take care of the needs of children and husband too.

Mother are all concern with the welfare of their children and think of nothing else but good things to happen to their children. Yeah, father is always strict to their daughter and like to obey their every command especially when it comes to dating they are very careful with their daughters always reminding them to be careful with their self never to trust anyone who would take advantages of them.
