Why are most people closer to a certain parent?

Is there a specifiic reason?


Because, even when I was little, I was closer to my dad.


And my twin brother, he's the opposite. He's closer to our mom.


Most people seem to favor one parent, and maybe even have something against the other.Why are most people closer to a certain parent?
you are always closer to the parent which you are most like. xWhy are most people closer to a certain parent?
it depends on your current relationship with each parent i was most closer to my Mum because she was always with me my Dad was usually overseas working and would visit now and then and usually the Mums are closer to most people cause the Dads are usually labeled as the strict up tight ones that always gave you chores and punishment while the Mum was approachable kind and considerate
For some reason that is true. It could be maternal reason is the bonding when mothers breastfeed their children. That is a bond that is created.


For men they might be more sensitive to the children's needs.
Just because someone is closer to one parent does not mean they have something against the other. its just the way life is!!! It is the same as how some people are closer to one friend then the other =]
Well, Sigmund Freud has a theory on this. He believes that girls head towards daddy, and boys towards mom. That's the short version. I definetely suggest reading up on Freud's theory. Very interesting.
Some people just naturally gravitate towards one parent more, i'm not shure that there is a specific cause for it, but there are many theories.
