Who is your favorite parent?

My mom. Everything I am, I owe to her.

Could never choose between my mum and dad. I love the ground they both walk on even though I am 30+ I don't what I'd do without them sometimes. xx

My mom and dad divorced, but they both kinda complete eachother :P Like my dad is cheap, when I was a kid he wouldn't even buy me new shoes if they were worn out, but if I were ever sad or needed someone to be there for me, dad would. Mom on the other hand is quick to give you a great present or replace your shoes, but if she's meant to say come to a parent teacher interview she'll be late or forget and not show up. So definately both :)

I'm not close to either of them but i like my dad better, he's less bitchy.

Since it is mother's day I will go with mom.

i have no feelings for either

I want so very badly to say mother. I want that traditional mother/daughter relationship. But sadly, I hate her guts. So Dad. He's always there for me. Always backs me up. Came and got me when she kicked me out of the house. I love him so much I'm pretty sure some of it is just to compensate for the lack of love I have for my mother. Dad. Always.

My mom. I always feel kind of awkward around my dad, maybe because I don't see him nearly as much. I owe a lot to both, though- my dad supports us financially, and my mother supports us emotionally. It's my mom who'll give me a hug, but my dad who'll work all day to feed my siblings and I.

I love them both.

I JUST CAN'T CHOOSE!

My mom. I've always been extremely attached to her; she knows me very well, like when it's appropriate to tease me and when it's time to take me seriously. She spends most of her time off from work with me. She says she enjoys my company.

They're both good parents, but I follow Freud's teachings and I'm in love with my dad and want to kill my mom.

Seriously, sometimes it's my mom, sometimes it's my dad.

Mom is an abusive alcoholic who has to be almost completely financially supported by me and my bro. My dad is supportive, and has always been there to take care of me, even when I was a bit younger and got myself into stupid sensless situations. Easy pick for me, Dad.

My mum, always, always. She is amazing ^__^

My favourite would change from time to time, but now I don't favour either.

Neither of my own. My friend's mum was an absolute star, though. I didn't know parents could be stable, non-violent people.

my sister was like a mother, the other two were hopeless

I understand my dad, my mom is just a cunt all-around. I know why my dad is an asshole sometimes. She tries to think she did more for us than my dad, and she did in a lot of ways, but everything she did had motive while what my dad did was more 'true' and selfless.

They both sucked as parents, though.

i fucking hate them both.

It's hard. My father died when I was a toddler so I never got to really know him and lately I haven't been getting along well with my mother.

Dad is ok but Mom is at the top of the list in most important people to me.

Dad

i dont have a favourite. they are both too different to compare.

I think it depends. Should this be more directed at people that have both parents active in their life?

My mum's nice enough; though she can be a little exuberant and annoying I know that is the normal attitude of someone my age towards their mum.

My dad is great; we've got lots of things in common and I really look up to him as a person. I feel very, very lucky to have two good parents because so many people don't. I prefer my dad though because I can honestly talk about things with him which I never would with my mum.

I agree with the OP: I love them equally but differently.

Dad

If my grandmother were still alive I'd say grandmother. So I chose other but I'm a little closer to my mom.
