Which of your parents do you like better?

Tough question, I like it!

Since my mother died when I was two I don't have much of a comparison to make. I choose my father by default.

How about " I have a good idea who I like better but because I feel it unfair to the other, I refuse to admit it "

Not at all a tough question for me (and both my parents are alive and well, and I do like them both, still easy though).

My mom is awesome! She was always there for me growing up and for me know. She's a strong female who is a character and a lot of fun. My dad was kind of in the background while I was growing up. I believe he's manic/depressive--although mostly depressive. I love him, but don't always like him. I feel sorry for him because he doesn't seem able to sustain a close relationship.

Until very recently, I was much closer to my father than to my mother. When I was a child, my father was the more adventurous of the two, more interested in having fun, the one pushing to go and do. My mother and I had control issues and conflicts over my behavior (she despaired of my ever becoming "a lady"), although compared with many families, we were quite close. Since retirement, my father has suffered a number of health problems and has aged a great deal, whereas my mom has stayed very active in the community and is now the much more dynamic of the two. At the same time, our interests coincide much more now that I am keeping a house, and I think she has decided that I haven't turned out so badly after all. So, at the moment, I think my relationship with my mother is more actively good, but I love both of them very much. I don't expect to have them with me much longer, which makes me treasure the time we do have together.

my mom died 5 yrs ago. i have to say i always had a better relationship with my mom while she was alive but my dad has been the most cool human being since her death. so i would have to say equal but i don't know if that would be true if she was still alive and i still had the same relationship with her.

Tough choice, but as much as I love my mom my dad doesn't annoy me like my mom can.

I feel guilty even thinking about it..

It's not that I like my father more,
but he seems more interested in what's going on in my life since I've moved away, and less self-serving in inviting me back to visit.

That is, I LIKED my mother better than my father. My mother died about 6 years ago, so now I don't have a choice.

no love lost here.

I think I like/dislike them differently. Definitely not equally, but not easily quantifiable as either. Basically, I don't know either of them very well. We're somewhat "estranged." Interesting question, though.

My dad was abusive and an alcoholic...he didn't even want us in the first place
good question though

neither of them is a good parent & ever was but i would have to say my dad because there are times he has helped me.

I liked both my parents. I talked about different things with each of them.

my parents are mean

I come from a dysfunctional family...I'd kill them both if it weren't illegal *giggles*

There is no way I could choose between my parents. I love them both equally.

Jane...I agree...there is no way I'd know which one to shoot first....
