With whom are you closer, your mother or father?

When I was younger, I was closer to my mother. But when I get older I became much closer to my father. Growing up, father was the disciplinarian in the house. While mother was more of the loving person we easily ran to when we get spanked by father :( After school years, father and mother exchange roles---father became laid-back and mother became stern. I got closer with my father and we developed a unique father-daughter bond from then onwards. But this is not to say that I love my mother less. I love them both, very much. How about you? With whom are your closer?

I am closer to my mother who is a wonderful woman I have never seen before, she is ready every time to listen to my problems, she cares a lot for me, she is in fact present in my life as a shadow unlike my dad who talks when he wants to. Right now he does not because he is against the boy I love who is of a different religion than mine.

Ohh really? Well I think dads are natural jealous people when it comes to their daughters. So I think he was just threatened to know that there's another man in his daughter's life. The religion issue I think that's really complicated. I hope everything gets fine with you and your boyfriend. =)

when i was a kid, i was near to my father but as i grew up i came nearer to my mom. people believe that boys are nearer to mom and girls are nearer to dads.I agree this in my case. my mother is my best friend and will always be.i love both but my mom is my everything.

Yes. I agree too. Why and how is that? And I also think that mothers favor their sons over their daughters. As with my case, my mother cherishes our youngest, a son at that. No matter what mistake my brother commits, my mother always have amnesia when it comes to my him. hahaha But I don't mind. I don't hate her for that. I still love her..(^_^)
