Overall i'd say my mother, but at the same time theres stuff I find easier to talk to my dad about which I find I can't with my mam.
What about you?
I'm a Mummy's boy haha. Me and my dad argue 24/7 - thinks it's becuase we're very similiar.
Me mam. Its easier to talk to her I feel comfortable around and like spending time with her. With me dad, I dunno we have nothing to talk about and sometimes I feel awkward around him

My mum. I talk to her about some things whenever I want too.. but I never talk to my dad about personal things or anything.. we get along but I wouldn't say we're close, sometimes we can argue as I think he can be really overprotective.. sometimes my mum even lies to him on certain things as we know he'll worry too much.

I don't talk to them about anything personal. So both really. We just talk about random day to days. And have good nights out etc..

I get along with my mum better, I know what annoys her and what keeps her happy so mainly we get along. My dad...I wouldn't say I get along with him I just stay quiet and hope for the best. Its better now my sisters at uni because we used to argue and he used to yell at us for it all the time. Trouble is now I forget how annoyed he can get. He'll be alright for a while and then for example if I forget to do something he'll say I can't be bothered. Or I'm not very proactive. Or lazy. No...sometimes people simply forget things! :rolleyes: Gah.
I'd probably go to my best friend for personal things or advice because we can tell each other things and know that the other is not going to tell anyone.
Not looking good for the dads is it??? :lol:

Same here. I don't tell any of my family anythign personal actually.
Anyways, I don't really have a close relationship with either of my Parents really. I don't live with them which makes it more difficult and I sometimes think they resent me/the fact I never chose to live with them. If I ahd to choose I actaully couldn't. I ave more to talk about with my Mum, but she usually finds something to be funny with me/nag me about. Whereas my Dad and me don't really ahve anything in common at all so we have nothing to talk about... but he's always stood by what I do and that. He's jsut really over protective which really annoys me sometimes :thumbsdow

Well thats the case with me, I dont tell my mum anything, but I seem to able to talk to my mam just comfortably and caually compared to my dad, I can just relax arounf my mam but with my dad I just feel like hes gonna laugh at me or get too serious
Both my parents are no longer alive but I used to get on better with my Dad :heart: I was adopted and my parents were a fair bit older than my peer's parents and my Mum was always very old-fashioned, whereas my Dad moved with the times. He used to stick up for me a lot when my Mum went OTT.
I think that now i get on with them equally, but it has changed over the years. I also get on with them much better since i have been at uni.
I am very similar to my dad.. we are not morning people and we respect that by just keeping quiet in the mornings... my mum is a morning person and it annoys us both.
But over all I have times where I will only need my mum for stuff and times when my dad is the better person to talk to.

My mum we talk all the time like spending time together me and my daughter go spend the day with her every saturday. so does my brother and his kids my sister and her kids if she is not working..
I get on with them equally.......
All of my boys get on better with me than daddy though and if my eldest has anything personal he needs to talk about, he comes to me, even if its a "male" problem
I'm not close to either of my parents. I have nothing in common with my dad and I think mum and me are too alike.

I used to be really close to my Dad more than my Mum but now my Dad's been working more for the past year and a half as he also has a business of his own I barely see him anymore (only about 30mins in the evening and on Sundays!).
Now I am closer to my Mum but I'd like to think I get along with them both equally tbh! :)
My dad's more fun but then I can't really talk to him so I voted for my mum.

i would have to say both equally.
I would say my mum. Again like a lot of people have said we dont really talk about personal things.
My mums been through a lot. When her and my dad got together my dad already had three kids to his first wife. Sami, Kelly and James (James we never really see cos he lived with his mum). One day when my mum and dad were at work his ex-wife brought Kelly and Sami to their house and cos they werent in she dumped them on the doorstep and the next door neighbour looked after them till my mum got home. Since then my mum has brought them up as her own. They have always called her mum.
Then my mum and dad had another three children of their own. Mandy, me and Marcus.
Anyway back to my mum. I think most of us have a good relationship with my mum and dad its just more with my mum. OK we have a joke and a laugh with my dad and hes the one we go to when we wanted money n stuff but we always get on more with my mum.

im not sure really, i probably get along with both of them equally. like most people have said, i dont really talk to either of them about private stuff and i argue with them about different stuff. i dont think im closer to either of them

I get on best with my dad. When I was born my mum had post natal depression for seven months and basically wanted nothing to do with me lol so all my early bonding was with daddy dearest. I get on well with my mum too now but me and my dad are just more alike, more atuned. my mum gets on better with my little sister, who coincidently doesnt have as good a relationship with my dad as I do.
