    Discussion: Closer to mum or dad?

    Do you think its fair to say, that a daughter is generally closer to her mother, because they are both female, or her father, because he is generally considered the protector? Tell me your thoughts :)

    I have always looked up to my dad and have been closer to him than my mum. I am also the oldest child in the family so not sure if this may have something to do with it.
    My sister on the other hand has always been close to my mum and she is a middle child.
    Maybe it depends on the child

As the third child after 15 years to her 2 brothers she really is Daddy's little girl. I am quite fine with that. I feel that I am closer to my sons than their father is to them.

    Sim-one says: I've always been closer to Mum because she's always understood what was happening in life. I'd ring home and if Dad answered I'd try to talk to him and his words were always 'I'll go get your mother'. Not that he didn't try, I think he sometimes just didn't understand. Mum would explain it to him later. I love them both dearly, but when trouble arose, I know I always call Mum!
