Do you have a stronger bond with one of your parents than you do with the other?

[DipDipDive]

I do with my mom. She pretty much rules. My dad, however, is a sad, sad man.

You?

[tracky]

Not really. Both are cool. Well, not "cool" in the traditional sense. They're total dorks. But they're both cool (y)

[b i o n i c]

are you a girl? so did that make you promiscuous, not getting along with dear old dad? just curious

[korn_phr33k]

i tend to get along with my mom more, cause sometimes my dads just a selfish asshole.

[Kid Presentable]

The one that's alive.

Yes.

And no.

Not having a strong bond with a father figure doesn't automatically equate to a sense of sexual worthlessness.

[b i o n i c]

not for everyone it doesnt, you're right. just asking

[ggirlballa]

dad

[kleptomaniac]

ok ok i'm pretty spoiled by my parents, but my mom is more strict than my dad, who usually lets me get away with what i want :cool:

i'm more close to my mom though, so i think the reason my dad does that is because he's working a lot of the time, while my mom doesn't, so me and my mom have a stronger bond and he wants some kind of way to get closer to me too. my mom pretty much rules the house though, most of the time. and i can talk about certain things with my mom that i'd feel uncomfortable talking about with my dad. and i'm not just talking boys and stuff like that. just anything...because i feel closer to my mom. and the fact that my dad used to be in the army must have something to do with it.

in my family, we argue a LOT but it always ends well...like nothing happened at all. usually i just need to stay out of their way for a while. i must drive my parents crazy. thank god i'm the only child heh. :/

did i answer the question?? :confused:

[DandyFop]

I don't have parents, I was made in a tube.

[korn_phr33k]

I don't have parents, I was made in a tube.

im sorry to hear that.

[Lyman Zerga]

i wish my younger sister was my mother

weird huh

[monkey]

it depends on the subject and how much i like either one at the moment. im pretty close to both my parents. they're... understanding.

[backwoods]

both my parents are swell folks

[zorra_chiflada]

this is an interesting topic. i get along with my mother much much better. she is a great person and very understanding and kind. i can tell her anything, so i do have a stronger bond with her
however, me and my dad have pretty much exactly the same personality. even though we dont talk much, we have this unspoken understanding of things. i don't get along with him so much, because we clash so much. the things that i dislike about him are the things that make us alike.

[Kid Presentable]

the things that i dislike about him are the things that make us alike.
That can be true about people in general, too.

[hitmonlee]

my dad for sure
mum goes a bit nuts at times, dad and i would walk around on eggshells until her hormones regulated themselves. and we'd laugh about how irrational she was behind her back.
i've worked with my dad for the past 7 years
and in regards to looks - i take after my dad, we both have to put suncream on, but mum just tans

I'd venture that you're hotter than your Dad.

[HEIRESS]

I have the best parents on the face of the planet

my mom is in my top 5 funniest people I know list, easily ,and she is the only person I know who reads more books than I do

and my dad is so fucking nice, its ridiculous, and he makes me my poaches eggs exactly how I like them

[The Notorious LOL]

my parents rule a lot. I connect more with my dad even if I can talk more openly to my mom if that makes sense.

[Justin]

I've lived away from my parents since I was 19..(now 24) and I honestly think its helped our relationship.

[zorra_chiflada]

yeah, so true. my dad asked me to leave.

[yooooo]

i dont know my parents

[Loppfessor]

Well lets see, one of them used to beat me and the other one didn't....so yeah I'm closer with my mom

[na§tee]

isn't it, like, a given that you move out when you're 18, finished school, and entered "adulthood"?

i'm not close to either of my parents. and i don't really care. i don't want them to be my best buds.

[beastieangel01]

if I had to pick one, probably my Mom.

It's not really all that strong with either of my parents.

[wanton wench]

i love this thread! my parents passed away when i was in school. i never got to have an adult relationship with them but i love to hear about other peoples relationships with their parents. family dynamics are fascinating!

[kaiser soze]

I love my parents equally, but am closer to my mom

[abcdefz]

I'm not close to either parents. They (and now I) have zero interest.

most people i know have stayed with their parents while they did uni or saved up a deposit for a house or something. i also know lots of people who moved out early, and then came back to their parents after travelling/renting to do uni or save money. (my parents said once i leave i can never come back, so i was reluctant to leave)

they are saying its an epidemic now... people in their 20s and 30s living off their parents. i myself only moved out at 24.

[Rancid_Beasties]

Its actually gonna fuck us up more than our parents though, because our kids will be staying until they are like 30, and by then there'll be no pensions because with the aging population it will be unsustainable (this is what costello said when he came to my high school) so we'll be squeezed dry by our kids and then have no pensions to fall back on.

I'm not contributing to this shit though, i moved out 6 months ago at 19, and I'd housesat for 2 months the year before, so i can say to my kids I moved out at 18 so they should be independant too.

What it all comes back to really is that houses are overpriced relative to other items such as food, and that its only going to get worse. Average house price in sydney for instance is $500,000 AUD. Studies show that house prices in Australia are 50% overpriced (in the US its only 20%), and have risen 110% in the last 8 years (compared to 80% in the US), compare that to inflation which is 3-5% per annum, and you'll see that house prices should only have risen 25-40% in that time, not 110%!

All that said, I have a much stronger bond with my mum.

[cosmo105]

The one that's alive.
yep.
