Just out of curiosity, for me personally both. My mom and I are a lot more alike personality wise but my dad and I also get along well because we're both super into our Serbian culture.

Long story short. Equally now. As a kid I was closer to mom, got closer to my dad later and am now close with both.
Now for my big, fat post about the same thing in detail.
As a kid, I was closer and spent more time with my mom, than with my dad. He had a lot of stress at work, so he never had much time, or desire to play with me, or listen to my pretend games.
He still loved me, but wanted rest and relaxation after work.
My mom always had my back, when I did something stupid and my dad got angry.
When I had bad grades, or did stupid shit he'd say "What are you?! Stupid?! If you can't handle something as basic and dumb as X, how are you gonna handle life?! One day I'll be dead, what are you gonna do then?"
Then I'd feel like scum for the rest of the day XD
But as I grew older, in my later teen years, I got a lot closer with my dad. As he shared life advice and has helped me more than anyone else. He and my mom were proud af when I got my degree.
When I started my business, I almost knew nothing about how to run a business. My dad did the accounting for my business and took in calls and scheduled appointments for 5 months, sending me the info on viber. He even pulled some strings and told all of his friends in my town in Germany to give my company a try and recommend me to others.
All until I could get on my feet and be able to afford to hire someone to do those tasks and have money for adverts. He didn't have to do it. But he insisted on doing it and he is a champ for doing that.
And he gave me the best present I've ever received, or will ever receive. My 2005 C220... That was his car. He was planning on selling it, before buying an SUV, as he believed an 18 year old doesn't have the funds, or skills to drive a Mercedes.
But he told me as he watched me detail his car with nothing but love and then go cruise around the neighborhood, he saw himself in me. Told me he was like that when he was my age and gave me the car before I went to study in Germany.
As he retired and had no stress to deal with, he became very easygoing. He says he's always got my back and had my best interests in mind. Even if he didn't always showed it, he loves me way more than I ever thought as a child.
Whenever he said "I'm proud of you", or "I love you son" he really meant it.
He isn't big on all the huggy-lovey stuff at least on the outside...
Whenever I couldn't call my parents for a few days, cause of work, school, lack of internet, ect... he'd get sad and lose interest in everything, even sadder than my mom.
I thought it was her who'd sit anxiously, waiting for me to call, but it turned out it was my dad. I'm his only son, only child and he wants the best for me.
He also cried when I gave him a boat and a pickup for his 60th birthday, so he is emotional, but still a real man and taught me to be one too. A man can't be mushy and must control his emotions.
My mom told me that. She misses me too, but I feel she has coped with me leaving home better.
I'm still very close with my mom, as she was always the emotional support. She'd hear me out in good and bad times and make me feel a bit closer to home, even if we are seeing each other from behind 2 screens, 2000km apart.
When I couldn't spend Christmas one time with my parents, due to a cancelled flight and no refund, my mom did the next best thing and made Christmas dinner and put the laptop where I would normally sit. I had my meal ready and we had dinner together.
It was one of the most heartwarming things, as back on that Christmas, I was single and all of my friends were already home, or on the way home.
So yeah, my dad taught me how to be an adult and a man and my mom is the best mother a man could want.
I love both, I get along with both and adore them to bits, but I have a closer relationship with my dad.
Both my fathers suck. My mother is really getting on my nerves but I wouldnt change much else about our relationship. Maybe my grandma as well. I started spending a lot more time with her after my grandfather died (he was a bitter a-hole). Maybe I just never had a good father figure in my life.
I'm really close to my mom . She said that I can have sex with her anytime I want to. We have been having sex together for 2 years now and she loves it very much and told me she would like it if I can make her pregnant with a baby and have a family with her
My Mom passed away 7 years ago and we were very close. My Dad and I are VERY close but I still miss my Mom.
My mom. I often felt like my dad put up a wall. But, I wish I had tried harder to be close to him.
I'm not close to either. I rarely speak to either of them and the ilk not tine my mom talks to me its tell ms why she cant psy me back yet or she's asking for money
I was never really close with my parents, but my father supported me more financially, so I’d say my father.
Not really either at this point. My mother likes to sulk in self-pity and my dad drinks too much. They’re both burdens to me right nowz
Both much less than I should be as a 20 year old, but probably more connected to my mom if I have to choose.
