Right now I'm doing pretty good with both... but for a long time I would only ever talk to my dad...<.<

My mom bugs the fuck out of me. My dad leaves me alone. We only talk when there is something to be said. My dad and I spent five days in the house alone and said less than ten things to each other. It was great.
that sounds like me exactly.

my mom and i can't go one conversation without being the biggest smartasses on the planet to each other (i know i know i should be mature...but i refuse to let that woman beat me in an arguement, she is more stubborn and ignorant than anyone i have ever meant and thanks to her i am just as stubborn so i refuse to let her get her way) so seriously i talk to her as little as possible to just avoid the fuss all together, because she holds a grudge like its no ones business.

me and my dad get along good enough because we leave each other alone unless something needs to be said, which i respect him, and he respects me, so if we are in the house together generally the only things that get said throughout the day are either: chores, plans, food

which consists of oh...maybe 5 minutes? which is perfect to me. so we get along 100x better.

Well, my problem with my mom is she tries to force a relationship to happen rather than just letting it happen. Talking about random shit that I don't want to talk about discourages me from actually wanting to be around her. I went a year without talking to my dad once and we had a great time catching up. I have never gone more than a day without talking to my mom(rather, her talking to me). Do you know what there is to talk about when you are forced to have a conversation with someone that often? Spoiler alert: fucking nothing.

ok, that gave me a grin. good job.

I can just imagine that advice your dad gave you. Actually I can only come up with the ladder theory which just sounds stupid and is taking away my grin =(

It use to be my dad, then it was my mom. But at this point, I don't get along with either of them for the most part...

I get along well with both of my parents, but I find it easier with certain topics in talking to one more than the other.

I talk to my mum more than I talk to my dad, but I get on better with my dad. We argue less. My dad's pretty calm and open-minded, and very logical and accepting of everything I do. He never complains about how hard he works, whereas my mum does. Also, she just chucks these hissy fits whenever she's annoyed, which is often. Still, she's around the house more, and we tend to talk about our feelings a lot with one another.

haha thats why i refuse to date clingy girls, it gets so damn boring if you try to force anything to work. my mom sometimes does that, i'll be watching tv or something, completely at peace and enjoying myself, when she will come and sit down, have something snippy to say about what im watching, then go into a interrogation of what im doing today and why i dont have a girlfriend and it just goes on...and on...one of these days i am going to shoop da woop the entire house to the ground.

Eh, about equal. I'm a girl. My dad and I share similar interests but we don't always talk a lot. My mum and I can talk about anything and we spend more time together, but at the same time, we don't really have things that we can do together. So, yeah, it balances out.

Usually talk with my mother at least once a week, usually cause she's wishing to see my son. Haven't spoken to my father in three years. Sent him an e-mail last year to let him know I had a son but never bothered responding to his response. Don't even remember what it said.

I get along better with my mum (not that THATS been too good lately to be honest...) but I mean I never really knew my real dad (he left when I was one, something about them having a huge fight, I'm not sure which one I should believe, both their stories are radically different) And the one step dad that I really remember (having lived with him for like 11 years of my life) was both an alcoholic and (I found out later) A coke addict (and no not the drink lol) I'm a girl btw

My father abandoned my family when I was ten. Never saw or heard from him again. So naturally, of the two parents, I have a better relationship with my mother.

About the same. If I want to ask permission for something (which doesn't really happen any more, but for the sake of argument) I'll usually go to my dad, though. He's less...reactionary...then my mom.

my dad, while broke as shit, raised me properly on mcdonalds and Nintendo, and scaling sides of mountains since I was Four. when My parents fought, he always was more rational.

My mom is under the misconception I like mexican food. and got me a wii, but that doesn't count because she makes me play mario with her AND I JUST WANT TO PLAY OKAMI, GOD DAMN IT, MOM.

so... take a wild guess which I prefer.

hint: its the one I DIDN'T go into all caps for.

It's about equal on how I get along with them. I find it easier to share problems and concerns with my mum, though.

I get along with my father a lot better. Most people do, because my mother is a strict, stiff, humourless grouch.
