Seems to be biblical experience cited anyway. But I find it just doesn't much matter how a parent rates their offspring, nor how a child rates his parents and siblings. The idea that "mother loves you best" may be faulty. It may be that a parent feels they have to favor a weaker one and let the stronger do more on their own because they can. And in doing so they project the idea that they do favor one over another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And quite often enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it could be the opposite and then again it depends on age brackets maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think parents should never show any partiality for any of their children. Each child is unique and given to us by God and we need to love them equally. What I have experienced is when children grow older and marry. The son seems to depend more on the wife but in some cases the daughter stays closer to the mother. That is if mother and daughter have had a close relationship in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter and I have always had a special bond. She was very contentious with her mother, yet I was the disciplinarian. I think really what it comes down to is we often times relate more to one type of person than another. I have known mothers and daughters that are extremely close, they may have had some rough moments along the way, but it never changed their close bond. I have also known mothers and daughters who were close, became contentious in the teen years, and that led to a distancing that remains in place. I think with some women, they simply can't reside with another woman and keep the peace. Not sure what the reasoning for that is, but just an observation. As I already said, I truly think it comes down to individual personalities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mothers are better equipped to discuss and advise on health, feelings, emotions and women's issues, that a man would feel extremely uncomfortable about. Hope no one thinks my experience and thoughts are sexist. In our family and my experience, a daughter will confide in her mother much more than the dad, and vice versa. To this day, my adult daughter still confides in her mother and tells her mom things that would make me blush, and things I don't want to know or have any business knowing. I also think it's just natural for both a son and daughter to have a closer bond with their mothers for a variety of reasons. At least until the son reaches puberty and his physical and emotional changes occur? But what do I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
