    well i would say i'm closer to my mum and would talk craps with her but i couldn't initiate a conversation with my dad...
    he's too stern looking and tend to talk in angry voice as if he's gonna scold me any moment...
    it's really hard to talk to him and my mum realized there is a serious lack of communication with my dad...not only me but my brother has the same problem as well....
    i'm not the 'daddy's girl' type and funny thing is that everytime i need sumthing from my dad, my mum would be the medium where i ask my mum and my mum will ask my dad...

    anyone has the same prob?

    Totally understand how you feel. I have the same problem too. I inherited my dad's temper and stubborness...and when we talk, well, it's like mad bulls rushing towards each other.

    It's a different story with my mom. She's always protective of me, stands up for me and shows her love and affections openly. You can tell that she's proud of me like all mothers, and it is this show of affection that makes me root for my mom. Mom's the best!

    im closer to my mom bc she understand me more than my dad. i can joke around with her and she will joke around with me. and for my dad he is the kind of man that think boys are important than grils. he always ask me to do stuff around the house even the thing my brother should do he ask me to do it. the only thing that my brother will do is sleep, eat, play game and all those thing ppl enjoy doing. if any one have the same problem, i know how u feel. :( :( :(

    well, i think all of you are so very fortunate. to be honest, i'm not really close to either. sure, i'm grateful for my mom when she tries to stick up for me when my dad's yelling at me. there are certain times (especially in embarrassing times concerning family) when i favor one over the other.

    in general any personal problems i'm going through emotionally/mentally i can't talk about with my family. there's the surface "get good grades!" but no real conversation asking for details. and even if i started to talk to my family, i'd feel uncomfortable doing so because i grew up this way. so i resort to my not-blood siblings for conversation, blah blah blah.

    Ihh....I am in dilemma, cause moms (if they are housewives) are always at home so they would be there for you all the time. On the other hand, dads are always working and they face heaps of stress.They would be too tired to interact when they get home. So, I guess I am close to both but in different ways...

    hmmm....I usually talk to my mom more when i call bak to hong kong. But face to face, i reckon i'm pretty close to both of them~

    However, whenever i get into deep crap, i just tell my dad cuz he doesn't get as pissed. Can't say the same for my mom -_-
