Usually its said that girls bond more with their dad and guys with their mom but in my case its the opposite I bond more with my mom more...

I want to want bond with my dad too but I just can't connect with him I have tried a lot but usually we remain mum talk about study but we not emotionally bonded..

Hi Pretty,

Most of the parents used to say that girls are more attached with
father and boys are attached with mothers, it may true and may not true,
and it all depends upon the situation and freedom of the parents. According
to my knowledge those parents who are given more freedom to the son
then of course the son is having more attachment with them like wise daughter
too, so it all depends of the way they are dealing with the boys and girls
of the kids in the family at the home. So according to my view I am used
to love my parents because both are give the more freedom to me, that was the
main reasons I have liked both of them. So try to mingled with your father
and then you will gets more freedom from him, and then you are also dady
girl at the earliest.

Have a nice day.

I was always very close to both of my parents.My dad passed away just over a year and ahalf ago.I am still very close to my mother.Both my parents were divorced when i was 14 years old so i grew close to both of them with them being in different life styles.Try to take time in going to see him more often as well as going places together.

hello pretty!

i am closer to my mom ever since... for a reason that my father is always not home & my mom is always there with me...and also my father is quiet type and always serious when i was younger...
but now, i can say that i am bonded to both of them...but of course with different aspects...
like, with my mom i can talk anything even about my lovelife...
with my dad, our topics are just different but i can still talk freely to him...

when i was your age, i am also not bonded to my father, and we even have some issues...what i just do, is i just try talking to him and free myself from those awkward feelings that i have with my father...maybe you should not stop trying and just be patient...time will come that you will be bonded to your father as well...just continue being a good child to them...no matter what.


myLot reputation of 84/100. PrettyIndGal (272)   ranked 1,831 out of 38,209 in life  2 months ago

Yaa I think you are right I should be a good kid although I do get angry with then on some issues and don't talk to them sometimes I guess I shouldn't do that It would probably weaken the relationship...
Nowadays I do try to leave behind things a start each day with a fresh mind..
Thanks ckyera for your advice.. cool


myLot reputation of 99/100. ckyera (2384)   ranked 65 out of 38,209 in life  2 months ago

well, i think somehow we are the same...huh! would you believe that there comes in my life when i don't talk to my father as well?like, i don't talk to him for about a year i guess... that i feel bad about him and really don't like talking to him...actually i am avoiding him! its also due to some issues...and yes, it ruins our relationship & make our house a unhappy & troublesome one...huh!

but i am happy that those days were gone...my father have changed a lot and is now more approachable and a better person...thus i started to change also...reaching out to him...and i am very glad that we get along well now...

so its a good attitude for you to leave things behind and start a fresh one...
nothing is wrong in reaching out to our parents...showing them our love & concern as long as we have time...never ever take them for granted for we don't know what will happen tomorrow...
so we children must do our best & take initiative to be bonded to our parents...i think. happy


myLot reputation of 84/100. PrettyIndGal (272)   ranked 1,831 out of 38,209 in life  2 months ago

Yaa I feel the same we have a lot in common..
It happened with the same with me but because of that my father also changed a bit and stated to think from my perspective and then I thought if he is putting so much effort to change and make me happy I should do the same and keep him happy I think talkin is a very good way to improve a relationship rather than keeping mum and making things worse..
Also parents do a lot for us and we should also try our best to keep them happy and all they want is to be happy isn't it..
Love ur response..
Thanks ckyera.. thumbup


myLot reputation of 99/100. ckyera (2384)   ranked 65 out of 38,209 in life  2 months ago

yeah, communication is indeed very important in any relationship...through communication, we will able to know what & how each other feels & we can make sort things out before it becomes worst...
i have proven that many times... happy

you are right, our parents do a lot of things for us, and its just right that we children should pay respect that they deserve & be forever thankful to them...
for me, i am nothing without my parents... happy

hi IndGal I dont have advices on how to bond more with your dad cause my parents divorced when I was not even 2 years old and my mom thanks God had full custody for me. That was good for me as my father made sure he will get his paternal rights for my visits but misuse them to belittle me and destroy the little self esteem I had an tell lies about my mom as well. Sooooooo I never bonded with my father.
In fact after he threw me out of the house twice only cause I did not want to listen to his lies any more and to his false witnesses I decided thats enough and never set foot into there for the last 15 years of his lifetime. He passed away in 2000 but I was not even at the funeral and to this very day never missed him.

Hi prettyindGal, as for me, since my mom is working abroad and the only time i get to see her is about 1 month a year. I guess im having more time bonding with my dad.. Actually me and my younger sister do bond with our dad more especially when we have the same rest day that we tend to take our dad out to watch a movie, go to a mall,shop, and eat out..=) But when my mom is around we tend to bond so much too, we went out of town, shop, watch movies and eat out too..=)

Both my parents are gone, but I was always closer to my dad who seemed to have patience and understanding for me. We were much alike, which made life for both of us difficult with my mother, She didn't like either of us much at all, no matter what we did. My brother and sister were more adored by my mother and they were themselves closer to her as well. Alot to do with personalities of course, I know that too, but she set them on pedestals and used them as examples of behaviour, even though she was unkind to them too often.

I tried different times in my life to get closer to my mother but it was very hard. She wasn't mentally so stable so that anything I might say or not or do or not do, was trouble for me. She lived a horrible life though wartime as a child and so I sympathize, but then, as I was a child, it was tough. I was sooo grateful for my dad, just to get a smile and a hug from a parent sometimes.

I don't know what to tell you about bonding with your dad. It is hard and I am hardly a good example for you to follow. I know I worked very hard always to please my mother even till she died and yet I felt I never did.


myLot reputation of 81/100. Archie0 (3139)   ranked 1,380 out of 38,209 in life  2 months ago

I love them both a lot, and am happy to have them in my life.

I am happy that I'm independent though and do things for myself. They are always great and helpful for me...


myLot reputation of 99/100. fjaril (4347)   ranked 25 out of 38,209 in life  2 months ago

I am glad you are independent and happy, but I also wish there was a way you could be closer to your dad. But I think it works both ways, doesn't it?
I wish it for you anyway.
Perhaps you will get some good replies!
Good luck and take care of you!


myLot reputation of 84/100. PrettyIndGal (272)   ranked 1,831 out of 38,209 in life  2 months ago

I feel for buddy..
I know how it must have felt when ur siblings were adored more than you and when u try so hard and don't get any response in return..
But it still exceptional that u never gave up and my heart goes out to u its needs so much courage to do that,but I'm sure whever ur parents they will be so proud of u...
Take care.. buddy..
and ya Keep Smiling please.. happy


myLot reputation of 99/100. fjaril (4347)   ranked 25 out of 38,209 in life  2 months ago

Thanx for your kind words and wishes!
I know I have regrets of course, But I learned much from it all too and tried hard to always raise my daughter with love and understanding.

Both growing up and as an adult, I know I did the best I could and more can I not ask of anyone or myself either. I wish you all the best!!
