Well, when I was small, I was closest to my father. Unlike everybody else, I always stopped crying and laughed whenever my father picked me up. My father always spoiled me and made me happy.However, as I grow up, I'm closer to my mother, because I get good advices from her time to time . And she doesn't scold or beat me, she always talks to me in a patient and gentle kind of way to help me understand what I did wrong and etc. She loses her temper once in a while, but she's a very understanding mother.I can't say who I'm closer to the most. I love them both, and I always have the same amount of conversations of similar topics and when I get angry at my parents, I don't get angry at one and run to the other. My father may be short-tempered and not-so open-minded and quite a person for details and understanding (which I inherited from him. I have to say, my personality is just like his, no wonder I always like to talk back at him) and look scary even if he doesn't smile (although he isn't unhappy) but he's a kind and loving father.However, I would say I'm closer to my mother, all the things about getting advice from my mother. But that doesn't mean I'm not close to my father of course.

Hi there! I'm closer to my mother because I grew up with her. My dad worked overseas and he would come home once a year and spend 2-3 weeks with us. So I was able to bond more with mom. But that's not to say that I don't get along with my dad. Whenever he's around, he makes sure that he makes up for lost time with me and my sisters. He's a real cool dad. It's just that I went through a lot more with my mom that's why I feel closer to her.

I was closer to my dad than my mom. I was just comfortable on sharing my problems to my dad coz he always gave me a good advises, unlike my mom who always gave me negative advice.
