My daughter is so close to his older brother, much closer compared to me as her father. Is this because i' m not a good father to her? I think i' m not but just wondering, what could i have done wrong?

i don't think so. she might just be very at ease with her elder brother because her brother is always around i mean they see each other often (might be) than you do. so maybe she just need some open up from a father. maybe you can initiate some talking and find out what could be the cause.

I never realize that earlier. Yeah, I have so much work that I have less time for her. Thanks myLotter.

I don't think that you do something wrong, bhyjay. Probably she is shy to share some things with you, but you have to see that you are a lucky man because your children can be closer with each other. For example, me and my brother fight all the time, because his generation is too different from mine.

Me and my brother always fight too. Maybe you' re right. Maybe she is just too shy.

Hi bhjay. There is nothing that you have done wrong. Usually someone will relate with another person who is of around the same age. Honestly, I am much closer to my elder sister compared to my parents or other siblings. The reason why I am that way is simple. My sister grew up around the same generation as me. It is easier for her to understand what I am going through instead of my parents. What you could try is talking to them and probably share your experiences with your children. Show them that you are there to give your support and listening ears at all times. I hope this helps. :)

Probably, maybe because they always play together and i just don' t. Sometimes I just have so much work to do to earn big that I have less time for them. That's why I am trying my best to look for a goos source of living that does not require so much time so I could spent more time with them.

As long as she isn't being nasty to you there's no real reason to assume you've done something wrong. Sometimes it's easier to talk to friends and older siblings about things as you grow up than it is to talk to your parents. I'm not close to my parents, I mush prefer talking to my friends. You could ask her about it if it bothers you and suggest you spend time together at the weekend and just talk and have fun in a relaxed environment.
