Are you a mama's boy or papa's girl?

Question

is that the biggest factor when you make a choice for spouse?

Neither in my case. I wasn't close to my parents growing up. They split up when I was a boy and I bounced between them across the world but my father remarried into an enormous stepfamily with many stepchildren and my mother worked multiple jobs and was often preoccupied with her boyfriends. So I didn't really spend much time with either of them growing up. Also left the home and traveled a great distance and started living on my own as soon as I could (by the time I attended uni).

For the way I chose women though, I tried to choose one as the opposite of my mother as I could find. My mother was a bit of an emotional trainwreck and a hopeless optimist always getting disappointed and breaking down in tears. I found that maddening to be around so I preferred women who aren't very negative/emotional with very thick skin and a very positive and realistic kind of outlook. I married one like this and she is about as opposite of my mother as possible (thankfully).

I think most girls, would like to be daddy's girl, but men in America get weird about periods. They don't understand what's happening, so they distance themselves just before their daughters start getting theirs. By the time the daughter reaches the latter half of puberty, years have passed. By then they feel like their dad who they quite often used to be close to, abandoned them when they really need them to just be there. Instead of running away everytime he saw her, because periods are gross (or whatever the issue is they have with it. )
As for guys, all guys are Mama's boys, all guys.
Yep, me too.
Unfortunately, guys are typically looking for someone to fill in for their mother's, because their mom stopped doing everything for them. And guys are dumb so they mostly want a girl who will cook and clean, and if they get to have sex with her, it's a bonus.
Unless they're the youngest, in which case, they're never gonna leave home if they can help it.

I'm not a daddy's girl at all. I have a shitty relationship with my parents because they are shitty parents.
Yes for me it's an important detail to take into consideration. I mean, I love men who are family orientated but there must be a limit. He must be able to make decisions on his own and we can't be with his family all the time.

I am actually a mommas girl, as my dad passed away when I was 1. I do not mind a mommas boy, I would actually prefer that, for personal reasons I won't comment on.

Sonorous · Answer

I've been forced to be a momma's boy. Mainly because my mother is absolutely shit at picking &/or keeping good men. 😂 So they came and went.

Twalli · Answer

Really neither. I have shared interests with both parents that don't overlap with the other that much. My sister dated a mama's boy and almost married him. He was great, his mom... not so much. That's really the danger of being one parent's or the other's, that parent might be too possessive.

WesBrewer · Answer

I’m not really emotionally attached to my parents, if they died it wouldn’t be tragic, that is a bit mean to say but it is a result of their sheltering decisions. So I’m neither, and I respect my mom more because my dad is unreasonable.

suisuiola · Answer

Definitely daddy’s girl, something my mom gets mad over.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

I hate my parents so no.  Also it has zero impact on partner choice as to how she is with her parents. Not even sure why anyone would think it matters tbh.

ShaTTeredMasterpeace · Answer

Mama's girl 100% even tho my Ma drives me crazy half the time, she's my favorite girl in the whole wide world.

kingjulienstoe · Answer

My real dad wasn't in my life and my step dad has done some really bad things even though he's better. I definitely love my mom more.

whatdoyouwantt · Answer

Mama’s boys/papa’s girls usually look for someone like their parents. Basically finding their mom/dad in their partner.

rievious · Answer

Mammas boy but I don't know if this question applies to me. I have 2 moms but I still was especially kind to my moms. I didn't agree with them all the time but I do love them in a way a mammas boy would.

Bubbles45 · Answer

I'm actually a mama's girl. Rather unfortunately, my father isn't in my life.

princeofromance · Answer

No, It is not a factor nor should it be. We should be closet then ever with are parents during these trying times. Besides, all that matters is the two parties involved both love and care for each other.

GhostMochi · Answer

I can't stand my dad. My mom is also kind of I don't know, I guess bizarre. Definitely lean more towards my mom, though.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

I loved my Mom (in the end, that is). But in my own partner I seek someone different; not opposed, though.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

I am the furthest thing possible from a mama's boy. But I would love to meet a "daddy's girl," because I think they make the best partners.

EssenceOfLight · Answer

Papa's boy, mom's minion.  Daddy is a Alpha narcissist and mommy is a ruthless bitch, at least they have something to inherit and this is their whip and sugar to keep me interested in them.

taeh_ie2 · Answer

Well I only have my dad so I’ll say papa’s girl. But we aren’t really that close either.

CallmeTheKnight · Answer

I don't think that matters as long as you don't expect people to be your parents.
