Male,closer to my father. My father is an ex-soldier,and my mother is still serving,and both are very proud of the fact. And they ran the home like BMQ. But,I was never really close to my mother,since she is what you would get if you made Drill Instructor Heartman a woman and gave her blood red hair. She does care,but she is EXTREMELY overbearing and the definition of privacy for her is either lost,or very,very warped. Plus,she abhors gaming. My father is less "Drill Seargent Nasty",but is still fairly strict. The key differences are that he can be negotiated with when he isn't in a mood,and he's a gamer. He got me into it,and when he drifted out of it,I got him back in.

They both don't take the concept of me trying things my way very well,though. Shouting matches ensued. The odd slapping (them)/gut punch (me). They're old-school. They raised me right,and that's,in the end,all you can really ask of your parents. Dad's fifty-two,mother's fourty-eight. And they're in pretty good shape. Good soldiers never really stop being soldiers.

Mum. Dad was away on conferences a lot of the time, and my mother and I both share an interest in history and Shakespeare, so we have more to talk about.

Not that I don't love my dad. He's fucking awesome and he's always got my back.

Daddy's girl. If I had to choose anyway. I really don't like either of them anymore...

My father barely knew his own father while growing up and then joined the military. He has a big ol' barrier around the part of his brain that is emotional and he spent half my childhood away in other countries: it makes it somewhat hard to feel connected to him.

He does a lot for me and I know he loves me, and after my graduation he told me for the first time he was proud of me...but he still didn't do hugs.

I'm a huggy person! D=

My mother, on the other hand, probably had a bigger influence on who I am today and was always there when I was a child so I could show off my drawings and get a hug when I fell out of a tree - the odds are stacked in her favour.

I live with my mom and I haven't spoken to my dad for 8 years. Once I've moved to my new place I'm planning on changing my name to eliminate his last name so I don't have to see anything that reminds me of him again.

My dad has been a part of my life the whole time, so i've had alot of bonding and shit with him,
he taught me how to shoot, to play baseball and football, to respect my fellow man, and treat ladies no less than royalty, so i'd say i feel closer to him for making me the man i am today.

and because i'm closer to my dad doesn't mean im not close to my MOM, she just makes sure i stay healthy and takes care of me when im sick.

Female. My dad walked out when I was a kid so I'm closer to my mum, but we are not really close either.

I've never met my father so obviously I'm closer to my Mom.

It's worth mentioning that I don't have any ill-feeling towards him though. My Mom did a great job raising me so I never even noticed that only having a family of two people wasn't the norm. She never introduced me to her boyfriends (apart from one guy she was engaged to and that was after they had become engaged) and I was close to my Grandad until he passed aways so I guess it's never been an issue. I've never had any strong feelings about him at all, he paid child support but was never physically or emotionally involved, no big deal.

I wouldn't say I'm closer to one than the other, I love both my parents equally (that sounded less corny in my head).

My relationship with both my parents is really closer to a mutual friendship than a parent/child dynamic.

I'm closer to my mum, but it's not like there was much choice involved, since my dad decided to leave when I was 7.

I am closest to my aunt.

My dad had a problem with his temper and had some deluded idea as a business man, but he was still creative and a very strong leader.

Mom is a shopaholic ditsy high school grad air head, but has a way with charming people.

I appreciate everything they have done for me, but they have both told me that they agree that had I not been their child and was just someone they met at work or school, they would have nothing to do with me.
I feel the same way about them too.

However, if I have to choose between the two, i would choose my dad because at least there is some logic behind his thinking.

Mother.

But then again, my father's place in my life is nonexistent at this point. And my step dad is... eh. In fact, I don't consider him that anymore. I just call him my mother's boyfriend.

I'm hoping that if I ever get married, I'll either walk down the aisle on my own or get one of my brothers to do it. Because I don't consider anyone really worthy in the former father figure department.

And it will be my fucking day, after all.

I'm female, and since my parents divorced when I was a baby and I was raised by my mom and her parents, my mom. I'm closer to my grandfather than grandmother, though, since we are more similar.

I kinda got to know my dad as an adult, and I consider him more a friend than a parent. We have similar taste in movies and tv-series and hang out together.

Female and I'm close to them both, but I feel a little bit more closer to my Dad. I think it's because he could afford early retirement (45) so could my Mum, but She chose to carry on working and volunteering as She cannot be stuck at home like my Dad (well, the garden and allotment in his case) which means I can pop over and see him more and do more things with him.

I'm closer to my mother, purely because my dad is an aggressive-depressive alcoholic. I picked up his sense of humour, but that's about it. I'm just looking for a decent enough job so I can get a place of my own and just be rid of him. I know that sounds harsh and I always feel bad whenever I smack-talk anyone, but he is that bad now I find it trying to just be in the same room as him for more than 10 minutes before I have to go elsewhere. He keeps saying stuff like 'I'll change, I'll show you' like a scene out of EastEnders, but then I remind him that he used to take money out of my wallet when I was asleep at night...

Neither.

Yep.

I try to spend as little time as I can with them. We get on fine, but I don't really hang out with them much.

Generally I'll spend most of the day up in my room or else out.
