Generally girls are more attached to their father and boys to their mother... ur opinion??

Answer 1

This is factually true and in Psychology it is called Oedipus complex. It was proved by Freud. Wants to know more about it than read Freud. It is an interesting reading.

Oedipus complex, a concept used in psychoanalysis, is a child's unconscious desire for the exclusive love of the parent of the opposite sex. This desire includes jealousy toward the parent of the same sex and the unconscious wish for that parent's death.

The term Oedipus complex was first used by the Austrian psychiatrist Sigmund Freud. It comes from the myth of Oedipus, a Greek hero who unknowingly killed his father and married his mother. Freud used the term to describe the unconscious feelings of children of both sexes toward their parents. However, later researchers used the term Electra complex for the complex in girls. According to Greek legend, a woman named Electra helped plan the murder of her mother.

Answer 2

hi

i m sorry i disagree wid other answers u got. as my personal experience it's not always true in every case that girls r more closer 2 their father nd boys 2 their mother.

i m totally attached 2 my mother than my father. so, that can b even other way round 2.

Answer 3

I think kids get attracted to the most loving parent and one who is not very strict and harsh to them. So it may be the mom or dad depends on the situation.
Oftentimes men are open to all kinds of wild games with kids which mom dont approve of and moms tend to be fussy(especially with gals, learn to cook,clean utensils etc.) so the kids end up liking dads.
I think that whole Freudian theory is a big piece of bullcrap.

Answer 4

classic freudian question....but actually i'm not sure that's so true. yes, girls are very attached to their dads. but i don't think it's because they're not attached to their moms. i think it's because a lot of times moms are more accessible than dads. and that makes them harder to see and the time they spend with them rarer than with mom. in general, i think kids are pretty attached to their moms when they are little and later, with their dads. they needs their moms most when they are very little for the basics of life. but then later, they want to hang out with dad! of course, everything depends on different family situations too-everyone's is unique! that's my opinion =)

Answer 5

I'm not me and my mom have a bond but me and my dad don't. My brother is probably closer to my mom too. My dad's a lot stricter than my mom he hardly lets me do anything that I want to do. He also makes up wierd rules and grounds me just because he's mad and wants to make my life worse than making his own. I know this might sound mean but it's true and he knows this is what I think.

Answer 6

because dads know that their daughters will leave them after getting married.
and boys will live with them
perhaps they are opposite gender so father would have more love for daughters than son and vice versa.
perhaps fathers think that sons are physically strong and can protect themselves but daughter cannot so they care about daughters more than sons.
and mothers think that their sons will become their helping hands in their old age.

Answer 7

fathers assigns masculine jobs to sons and the son gets shelter with mother... the mother gives household jobs to daughter and the baby gets shelter with daddy dear...

whatever, its just a superficial expression... all the children are equally loved by both the parents...

Answer 8

That's how it works in my family, although I'm not sure I can say the same for others. If I were a Freudian, I would blame Oedipal complexes for this, but since I'm not, I don't have a decent theory.

Answer 9

I agree. My sister and I remember out mom being harsh, but my brothers remember her to be kind and loving. On the contrary, Dad as a cuddling teddy bear to me and my sister, but pushed the boys severely.

Answer 10

I think in most cases that it is true. I have 2 girls and my oldest was always very close to her Dad until he moved out and started lying to her. Now she has no respect for him and they both live with me full time. Both girls are very close to me know. Their Dad will be losing alot in his life.
