Are you closer to your mother or your father?

i'm closer to my mother, i can't really stand my father

 

My dad. My mom is the type of person that gets drug information from the government. On the other hand my dad is the kind of guy who would go to Erowid. Considering that he used to be a pot head himself.

 

my daddy. he just understands me, because he was like me growin up...different. and, he isnt so hard on me....my mom is cause she wants me to be *perfect* like my younger sis

 

Come to think of it, both of my parents have pluses and minuses... my mom misinterprets and misunderstands a lot of things and my dad has road rage

 

I usually get along wonderfully with my mom - she's very fun and silly and goofy; when I've met the people she works with at the hospital, they say I'm just like her that way. Which is a little unsettling. She is, however, the most caring and loving person in my life.

My dad is...difficult, I guess. Sometimes we'll get along great; we listen to almost all the same music and love the same bizarre movies, and go backpacking and kayaking and hiking and stuff. But, I have the feeling that basically...he doesn't respect me as an intelligent or thoughtful person, rather, just his little daughter that does well in school. I try to have conversations with him, but he doesn't listen to anything I say. My brother was home from college last weekend, and on friday evening he started talking about politics and the russian revolution and the history of communism. My dad started discussing theories and arguing with him, and as I listened I realized how different this was. He seemed to have woken up, actually caring about what he was hearing and saying. Other times I just find him impossible to live with...I feel like a big inconvenience.

My parents are both very liberal, open-minded and easygoing, though, so I'm very lucky on that part. And we love eachother, so I can find a way to deal with everything else.

 

I'm closer to my boyfriends.

 

My mom and I are like two peas in a pod. I try to avoid all contact with my dad.

 

My father... My mom hates me...

 

I have more in common with my dad since we are both musicians, but I spend more time with my mom. I love them both equally though.

 

I don't know which I am closer to really but I see my mother a lot more as my father lives in a different country.

 

Um...this is difficult.

My father moved out a few years ago, so if the question is whom I would tell more or in front of whom I'd rather cry it's my mother, because firstly she has also been a teenage girl once (no, really? ) and secondly I simply know her better and she's more understanding somehow.

I didn't use to get on too well with my Dad before he moved out, but since we don't see each other as often anymore, we get on very fine!
I also quite like my Dad's new girlfriend, she's nice and we can talk and laugh a lot (she's quite a lot younger than my Dad), and her daughter (3 years old) is really cute!

 

Im closer to my mom in the way that i could talk to her bout pretty much everything...but with my dad were more of goofing friends than anythin else...

 

my dad even though he moved out a couple months ago i can still talk to him about almost eveything with my mom she is so judgemental and talks like a shrink. It's alot easier to just talk to my dad about everything and anything he admits he made mistakes my mom wants us to think she came out the womb perfectly

 

I always thought that I was closer to my mom. She was laid back and kind of lazy like me. I then realized that I was actually closer to my dad. This was funny because I later found out that he too was a pothead.

-Peace (and Love)

EDIT: Haha, I just realized that I posted in this thread twice. That's kind of wasteful. . Oh well, at least both of my post were kind of the same .

 

In terms of things I can speak about, I'm really close to my mom. Still, I'm really close to my dad, too. I love my parents!

 

Father's been dead for about thirteen years. I stopped speaking to him in a conversational way back in the early 80s. Suffice it to say he was hostile.
I thought that when he died I would have a closer bond with my mother, but she is actually not someone who holds or keeps a confidence. I have told her a number of things with the specific proviso that she was not to tell anyone else the information.
So these days I talk about the weather, a movie I have seen, a book I have read... I don't talk about where I live, whom I live with, my opinions on anything sexual or political or anything that might have any value or importance to me.
Sad? Yeah. But then again when I was growing up she always used to say, "I'm not your friend! I'm your mother."

 

i'm sorry for you duncan, because it seems you wish to have a stronger relationship with her, but do treasure what you do have

 

i only talk to my dad on birthdays and holidays. i hang out with my mom on the regular..............
​

 

Neither. Well my dad's gone so I guess my mom, but she despises me and Im not perticularily fond of her myself so yep, neither.

 

My mother and I are close.

My father and I don't even talk anymore because he disowned me because I got a mohawk; doesn't matter though, I didn't like him anyways.
