Default mom or dad?

When you're to make a choose between your mom and dad, which will you choose? Well, for me, I prefer to be with my dad, because he always gave me everything I wants that he can afford to give. Unlike, my mom she will gave but there are still lots of question before you could get.LOL! Does your parents similar to them?

I would choose my dad. I missed out on a lot of time with him because my mom wouldn't let me live with him, even though I kept telling her I wanted to, and didn't treat me very well. Plus, my dad can be a better listener and he's just more..... SANE!!! hahaha

You're right, abeja. Although, I consider my mom as my best friend but when it comes to asking money of whatever, dad would be someone that will give you permission. Well, do you think, that when it comes to material things dad are really great? LOL!

Dads don't want to delve into the whys and wherefores of things, that is why they give in more easily to the children. Moms are more concerned with the whys and the wherefores, and would nag it out of you before you can get your way. Just different ways of loving the children.

Sorry to heard that story, kantha. Maybe you had a point not to choose between them as long as somebody is there to care for you. Am I right? But have you ever tried to have some bonding moments with them?

Well for me, if ever I choose between them most likely it would be my mother. I love my father however, mother understands us more. Do you agree? They could be our friend, mother and mentor at the same time.

I love both my parents but if I would select one, it would be my dad. I feel more secured and protected when I am with my father. For me, they know what could be the best for you. My father is the best adviser as well. How about you?

You got it right, mamabear. I remembered when I was still young, every time I would asked my mom to brought me a clothes, she would just told me that I still have lots of clothes at home. However, if I'll asked my dad about this, he would immediately gave money or asked the amount needed. Does your parents are like this too?

Well, I am glad I don't have to make a choice. There was time when I can enjoy living with both my parents, before my dad passed away 20 years ago, when I was still a child.

I am not so close to my dad. I think my mom is my best mother, friend, and she know me best.

Sorry to heard that, glory. Do you know what's one of the most sad thing? Maybe if your parents are separating and you really have to choose between them. However, I'm just lucky that I haven't come to this point the my mom and dad needs to have their own life.

I am 37 years old, so I don't expect anything from my parents. And I love both of them equally. Even though we were not too close as I was growing up, later on in life we have re-established a good communication and a loving relationship which brought us to appreciate each other more than ever.

I could never choose between either because I love them both equally, but there are times when I prefer to be around my dad because I'm very much like him, and he doesn't mind when I talk trash with him. Other times, I would rather be around my mom because I can talk to her about ideas and books. I guess my decision would depend on my mood.

It would be unfair for each of them because they're both part of me. It would be a tough decision but I want to be with my mom more because she's the one who understands me more than my dad.

For me I should qualify that I do have 1mom and 2 dads ... my thoughts are I love all of them the same it is hard sometimes to love my dads sometimes because they do not get along with eachother and then they come to me complaining about one another ....but either way I still love them . Does anyone have the same issues ???

Both my parents contributed to my upbringing in different ways. It was a combination of both their personalities that influenced my growth.

I agree with you, Brandy. For me, fathers are the best advisers. When I was younger, I would hang out most of the time with my dad. Have you experienced fixing things with your father? That is the most exciting activity that we do.

I love my dad too but he doesn't seem to show some love for his children. I know that deep inside of him he cares a lot to us but he's giving us a very hard time. He always thinks negatively which I don't like about him. Unlike my mom she's so supportive even though sometimes she can be so annoying.

There are actually parents especially father who are not showy with their feelings, reira. My friend's uncle is one of this person who has a similar personality like this. However, his children misinterpreted it and stay away from their father. Do you think it would be possible to bring the father-children closeness together?

I know I said my dad before but my dad has been so terrible lately. He doesn't work, complains about everything, and takes money from my gma-who has cancer to buy alcohol. Its so upsetting to be more responsible than both of my parents. Its so hard to see them hurting and not reaching out for help. I know there's nothing I can do, because you can't get help unless you want it.
