You are experiencing a natural process for girls. The boys usually bond more with their mothers. But with that said, it may be that you love both equally and are resenting your mother being the biggest authority figure. With girls, the mother normally takes the lead with the rights and wrongs. So, the father is more likely to pet the girls.

Girls are usually closer to their Dad's. I'm sure she doesn't hate you for that and probably understands. You should make it a point once in awhile to listen to your Mom because she more than likely has some wisdom that she can share with you...after all she was a young girl at one time too! Good luck and be nice to your Mom...she's the only one you will ever have.

No. You must have good reasons for loving your Dad more than your Mom. Look back and you probably can figure out who truly cared for you and genuinely loved you as you were growing up. Those impressionable years of development helped you form your opinion about your two parents, whether consciously or unconsciously.
Why do you think I can speak this way on this subject, as though I know a lot about relationship? My dear, just like you I had been there for I loved my Daddy more than my Mom for various reasons personal to me.

I think that girls are closer to their dads than their moms. I was. My mom sort of taught me to treat him with special care, because he worked so hard and she wanted us all to make him feel special when he got home.
She would have us go get him a drink, or his slippers, or be quiet if he took a nap, and if she fixed him a snack, etc. she would give it to us to deliver to him.
If there was any discipline to be handed out, Mom was the "bad guy" and if we wanted to go somewhere or do anything she would be the one who said yes or no.
She was the one who made us clean our room or do housework, or do our homework. She was also the one as we got older who would nag at us to do this or do that, and Daddy was just sweet little Daddy. So naturally, we treated them differently.
Now my dad has been dead for years, and my mother just sits all day in a chair and stares at the television. She has Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. I take care of her, and if I can last, I will keep her till she goes to be with my dad.
You love them both the same, you just haven't had to prove it yet. I hope you don't.

I don't think you're being mean. maybe you just relate better to your dad. in any case maybe you can talk to your mom and tell her how you feel. That you not playing favorites, and you love her very much. But lately it seems you can relate more to you dad. She's probably just sad, thinking that you hate her, or don't like her any more, or even that your replacing her. Which would put anyone in defense mode.

Not at all. Girls are all Dads pet and the love of daughter and father is both ways. On the contrary mom would be more happy as she sees a happy family.

I was a daddy's girl too. You just get along better with your dad. Stop measuring. Be kind and respectful to your mother. You live on your own now so you don't have to deal with or create tension between yourself and your mom. Just be pleasant.

No... I hate my father and I love my mom, nothing wrong with it both of them deserve what they get from me as they have given it in equal measure. As far as your situation goes... Freud might say different, but then again... Freud was an oversexed coke head!

You're not being mean. As I got older, I found I respected my Dad a lot more. I don't like I love him more, but I do respect him more.
