Which of your parents are you closer with?

[xJeremyx]

This is a small experiment to examine the claim that daughters generally form stronger bonds with their daughters than their sons, and the opposite for moms.

I am closer with dad!

I am closer with mom!

I come from a single parent household.

I am much closer to my mother, my father was useless.

[xJeremyx]

Your mom must be a really strong woman then.

Yes, she is.

[mandyfire98]

I'm closer with my dad.

[xJeremyx]

Daddy's girl, heh.

[mandyfire98]

It's true lol

My dad walked out before I was born so my mum lmao

[xJeremyx]

That sucks man. 😔

[Opinion Owner]

Eh it may seem that way but growing up with the father is the only thing I know so it doesn’t bother me that much. If he had walked out after I had been born then I think I’d feel differently about it. I’m just grateful to have an amazing but and supportive grandparents 😊

Your mom must have found it hard.

Perhaps one day when you have started a family with a good man, you will see between your kids and your man what you never got to experience as a child.

But when that time comes, please do not be bitter. Be happy your children have a complete family.

She doesn’t talk about it and refuses to talk about it if I ask so I just leave it alone. She likes to keep it behind her and move forward.

I hope so. I feel like that’s why I hold back a lot when it comes to relationships. I want to make sure that I end up with the right person.

And of course, I don’t feel bitter about it now. My granddad pretty much fills the place my dad left, I have him as a father figure 😊

[xJeremyx]

Your mama dont want to dwell on it.

There is no "right" person though. There are good people, but no such person as Mr. or Ms. Right. Unless their family name is Right.

[Opinion Owner]

Pretty much. So I don’t ask and she doesn’t talk about it.

Eh I think that there’s a right person for everyone tbh. You either vibe with someone or you don’t. But I think there could be multiple ‘right’ people out there, I don’t think it’s limited to one person. At least that’s how I see it.

[xJeremyx]

Nobody is completely compatible. Its always about compromise, gice and take, and communication.

[Opinion Owner]

Oh yeah of course there will always be differences and disagreements. But it’s how those differences and disagreements are handled 😊

Glad to be on the same page as you then.
