A large percent of children love expressing their feelings to their mother than father, because they ( mothers) listing,teaches and encourages than fathers.
As a kid, my mom was my best friend,( even now). Some people say it's because am the last born that's why the love is much. in front of my dad, I feel confused and it will be as though he's waiting for me to make a mistake, I fear him more.
My mom beats me and still calls me her favorite.
Most times my mom plays with me and we crack jokes, tell us fairy tales at night still we sleep off. But my dad, hmm he smiles once a year.. I strongly believe that one of the reasons why some children develop fear of hiding things from their parents is because of the father of the house. Most times they don't just understand a child feeling.
