hey everyone😊

this may seem an odd topic to everyone and i know many of you will not agree to it but some may...and the question is "as a child or adult or parent itself, are you biased towards one of your parents, either your mother or father? ~ or do you love an support them equally?"

there can be many instances in life, which may lead you to be biased towards something, but doesnt that exist in everything? in relations also...even close relations?

many incidents can happen which can lead you to be biased even towards one of your parent...this can be due to anything...natural factors such as begin a girl or a boy...or somthing not connected to that, but something like an argument, fight, disagreement, background, influence or something even more in depth and personal...

so i would just like to conclude by saying the same thing which i said at the beginning, "as a child or adult or parent itself, are you biased towards one of your parents, either your mother or father? ~ or do you love an support them equally?"

please leave your comments, i would really like to hear your views...

luv metoubearscrazy😊

Nice post metoubearscrazy ( I had to copy and paste your tounge twisting ID 😆 )....When your time permits I would love to know you name or the reason for this fantastic ID....But that is optional and can come at a time of your choosing....My Name is Anthony Gonsalvez and main duniya mein ek akela hoon.. 😆 😆 😆 ......Just kidding.....I am Manish..

I want to agree with your post in that "YES" I am biased towards one parent...MY MOTHER....

There is a popular belief out there that Boys are attached more to their mother and girls are attahced more to their father.....in general...not always.

I tend to think differently...I believe that certain circumstances and events in your life make you lean more towards one parent compared to another.....whether it is because you felt more protected by one parent as compared to another or one parent had stronger influence in terms of erudity and various other reasons...

In my case specifically, I spent 8 years with my mother away from my father because my mother's government job transferred her to a different city in India. She chose this hardship for "ME" because she wanted to inculcate the same sense of education that she had (she is a PhD) in me which was not possible if she had lived in the joint family. She made a sacrifice that I can never forget. My sole companionship with my mother for 8 years formed a superglutinous bond with her that transcends the realism of all relationships....I love my father and so does he.....but yes, I am more attached to my mother.

As I said, I believe the attachment to one parent is a very natural thing for many. 😃

Well said CKY!

Great post metoubearscrazy 😆😆

I think that kids (both male and female) have different bonding patterns with the parents as they grow. Circumstances guide each one to make a certain choice. But in the middle part of Guassian curve, the selective partiality for or the other changes with age.

Girls start looking up and being fon of moms and around puberty and adolescence, the equation goes a bit crazy, after the growing pains are over , it stabilizes and moms become friends again instead of the constantly preaching nagging PITA 😉. Boys in that age seem to compete with their father (unknowingly) who on one hand they look up to and on the other hand are struggling to be the instinctive dominant male ( not making this stuff up) . After they grow up, their dads once again become their friends too.

Now as a married woman, I think I bond with my mom on an altogether different level. Now I know how precisely she was a fantastic mom when I was growing up. I truly understand her and have much more respect than I ever thought was possible. She says that when I have a daughter, I'll know and understand her even more than now. I look fwd to that.

Dad ever since I remember, has been my best bud and he always will be. I think he is the proudest of me in the whole world and has always been and always will be.

I don;t pick either / or and they are both at same level for me.
My husband however is downright partial to my mom 😉.

Nice post metoubearscrazy 😆 ..Just like CKY, I too had to copy paste your id, just so that I wont offend you by getting it wrong 😃 ...

Its very natural to be biased towards one of the parents...Even the parents are biased towards one of their kids...Relationships are not some material things, which you can take a scale and balance equally...

I for one am very much partial towards my dad.. 😃 ..My sister is also the same way, whereas my brother is supporting my mom...Even in my talks its apparent that I am my dad's daughter... 😳 Its just the bonding and the way you grew up and the memories you created while growing up...

Person
- biased to either parent.
- biased to either bro/sis.
- biased to either Mausa/Masi..etc.
- biased to either children
- list goes on...

CKY - comment that it is based circumstantial to events, is xactly my thoughts...

In case of children u just don't realize when biasing happens...I guess.

i have always been my daddy's little girl.......although he has left us but i am still his little girl... 😭 I was born 12 years after the marriage of my parents and my dad spoiled me rotten and i am still a spoiled rotten brat....I was always more close to my dad than my mom....not that my mom did not love me.....but my dad spoiled me and i loved the way he pampered me.
Now as cutie has said that after i got married i now realise that what my mom has done for me and how much she has loved me and still loves/cares for me....after becoming a mom myself i had this realisation that being strict does'nt mean that the parent loves the child any less....I still think that there is no one who will love me as much as my dad did... 😭

I'm a girl and I'm more of a mommys girl in general. But sometimes it changes.If I want clothes or something I ask my mom b/c she's a woman and knows how "important" clothes are 😆 If I ask my dad for money for shoes or something, he says "you have a whole closet full already!"

But when it comes to things like electronics and cars, I go to my dad. When my dad bought me my car at 16, I never even told my mom. Me and my dad went to the dealership and brought it home. If I had asked my mom, she would have said "you're too young."

I'm spoiled rotten by both my mom and dad. But I'm still more closer to my mom.
