Are you closer to your mom or dad?

Question

If you are closer to one more than the other, why do you think that is?

Answer 1

my mum, dad and brother equally. we all live down the road from each other so we spend loads of tie togteher stilll. i grew up with them both looking after me. They worked as a team rather than having one designated parent at home

Answer 2

neither, we are like acquaintances.

Answer 3

I love my parents equally, but I have more in common with my father in terms of interests, education and sense of humor.  

Answer 4

I'm closer to KFC.

Answer 5

I think I'm close to both equally. They're divorced, and have been for a long time, but I still talk to both of them on a regular basis. I have different things in common with both of my parents. My Mom.....we're both strong women with the same strong opinions so we get along very well, and my Dad and I are both silly and eclectic, so we get along very well too. The situation is ideal.

Answer 6

I am equally close to both of my parents.  

Answer 7

Dad is dead so obviously we're not close. Mom is not healthy and won't be alive too long so I'm clearly closer to her.

Answer 8

My mother. My father was a physically abusive alcoholic who would hit my mother and all of us in his drunken rages. My mother is and has always been a real spiteful b*tch most of the time but its hard not to Know what depths she'd go to for you when she'd rush in and try to fight off a man who was twice her size when he was about to beat the sh*t out of you and in turn taking it on her self. My father changed who he was, stopped drinking and never hit us again., He couldn't even talk about what he had done to my mother and us and he was really trying to make it right. Sadly he died when I was 16, I fell like I only got a few years of getting to feel comfortable with him.

I love both my parents the same, they are only human and they make mistakes but I will never forget the struggles and sacrifices my mother made.

Answer 9

Daddies girl.  

My Mother is strict, extremely religious, hard headed and made insane by to many years at home with kids(literally)  Even as an adult, though we dont fight like we did when I was teen...I prefer my father.

Besides my dad is cool, was always there for me, and I can have arguments on anything with him.

Answer 10

My mother, because she did more of the work raising me.  Also, our personalities are more similar (which might be a result of her raising me, but might also be genetic.)

Answer 11

I'm closer to my mom when it comes to personal stuff and closer to my dad when it comes to school, work, and politics.

Answer 12

im not close to any of them. i live alone, with them sending me money every month.

but i guess, to answer your question, the child may seem to be closer to one of them when she/he (the child) feels they could open up or be their true self with the parent. But it doesn't mean they love one more than the other.

Answer 13

I used to be attached to my mom's hip and always take her side but now i realized most of my bad feelings for my dad were because i didn't understand. Now i have a fantastic relationship with both and i couldn't think of either one out of my life or better than the other!

Answer 14

My mother.

Answer 15

I got on pretty well with both my parents, I wouldn't say I was closer to one than the other, except that after my father died I spent a lot of time with my mother, my life revolved around looking after her for five years, but I think I was quite close to both of them really.  They were both interesting people.

Answer 16

I am a Daddy's Girl, for sure.  I love them both more than words can tell, but my Dad and I are much more alike.  He is a simple, hardworking man who will listen to me with out judging me, and has been there for me through everything.  He has a sense of humor.  My Mom is so opposite of me and I feel is too judgemental.  She would help me with whatever I needed too, but would complain about it the whole time.

Answer 17

I am closer to my father.

My father is a kind, compassionate man who offered guidance and protection.  

My mother is a sadistic lunatic who was emotionally and physically abusive as well as being a pathological liar.

Answer 18

I honestly feel I am equally close to the both of them!!  I can talk to my parents about absolutely anything... we're all very comfortable with talking about certain situations that others might feel shouldn't be discussed with a daughter/son!!  We always tell each other that we love one another whenever we see each other or talk on the phone!!  My husbands side of the family is no where near as close to him as in terms of showing love and affection as I am with my parents, but that is fine with me if that's how they choose to do things!!
