I have noticed that most females I know are really closer to their mothers than their fathers. Actually, I've noticed that males are usually closer to their mothers also. Could this have something to do with the fact that women find it easier to bond with their children than men? I'm interested in opinions on this please.

Depends on the person I think, but usually its 'daddys little girl' and 'mammys boy'

Well I think it really depends on the person, but like in my situation i'm very much closer to my mother but thats because I hardly had my father around. As for my children they'd really
much rather be with me than their daddy and we're a close family. I think it's just my motherly instincts!

I was closer to my dad when growing up, my mum was someone I argued with. As I got older it reversed and I became closer to my mum due to my dad leaving. However, I got back in touch with my dad a few years ago and the bond is still there, I feel about 8 again when Im around him!

I was closer to my mom - she was there for me more than my dad growing up and we also have very similar personalities.
But I would say that my husband is closer to his dad.
However, I don't think that you can generalize. It depends on so many different factors - the personalities of the parents and children, the culture, the family structure, etc.

i loved my father just as much as i did my mother, there is a bond between a mother and a child that nothing else gets close to. this is my opinion.
