Borrussia:
Nice points, I guess she wanted the boy to love her more than he does his dad.

Especially if she is conscious that this is not the REAL father.

to me, a woman who thinks good of her family wont be asking such, so no its not.

who can be compared to a mother?



Father that can abandon you at anytime, marry a new wife n have hundreds of you?

My mother first, my mother middle, my mother last


Father is just to provide money.. and once the child is able to fend for his/herself financially


Father is not of any use!

For ur mind, u have contributed to the topic Abi? Smh

Is dat how u see ur father? A tool to use and discard? I pity u

She shouldnt have asked that question before bribing him with money
Im joking she shouldnt have asked the question at all

Hmmnnn. The boy must hv been really courageous to tell her mum to her face. Bt she shldnt hv asked such a question in d first place. I only wonder y her countenance changed after asking for the boy's choice. I thought she'd gathered herself to absorb whatever turns out before asking. I think she's insecured...

Bad question. I love your friend's response. The mother should as well told the boy her favourite child. Causing division in the family. Women and their cunny moves.

Borrussia:
When I was still in my late teens, a friend of mine told me about a certain question his mum asked him, the question goes thus:

"Who do you love and cherish most between I and your Father."

To which my friend replied saying he love and cherished his father more, his mother countenance changed and she felt downcasted thereafter.

Now my fellow Nairalanders, even though I wasn't able to give a precise answer to my friend then, I still think the mother shouldn't have asked that kinda question, thence, I might be wrong. But still, if that were to happen to any of you guys, what would be your reaction?

A most foolish question.
One would have thought motherhood would make matured minds out of children, but it appears it is not so.

It appears the mother is in competition with her husband for her son's heart. Imagine a mother using this as a yardstick to define her self esteem...

Women and the intricate complexities that is them...

I think the best answer would be that u love both of them,except of course if u don't. but don't it's not healthy for a parents to ask their children such question.

You should see a shrink ASAP!

I have once asked my first dota that question and I was amazed by her high sense of reasoning for giving me a superb answer by saying " I love both my mummy and my daddy". She repeated. " I love you and I love daddy too. She was just 3 years plus then. I adore her more for answering me that way.May God continue to give our children more wisdom and understanding in all spheres of life. #askingherthatquestionwasnotforanyformofinsecuritybecauseihavegotthebesthusbandintheworld##justwantedtoknowhowshereasonsasalittlechild#

She's supposed to have nothing to worry abt. Changing her countenance means something isn't right between her and her husband. Are they divorced or what. Even if they're not separated, something is still not right.

Mothers should teach their children with reasons to honor their dad and fathers should teach their children with reasons to honor their mum.

Her changed countenance suggests that she thought she's born more sacrifices for the child than his father did but her SCOLDING may be too much.

Many parents are so used to adult life that their children don't understand why their parents do what they do..They just expect total obedience and submission from their children without carrying them along..sometimes by force and without reason. Parents should go back to their childish experiences and ensure their children don't go through what they went through at childhood and not expecting children to just understand their adult actions just because they've gone through a lot or suffered for the child. A child deserves an explanation for doing some of the things you ask him/her to do.

Besides, children change..teenage is still a young age. The child may just have said that simply cuz he's a boy and his father is a man. However if the mother reads more abt parenting and gets experience-advices, she can still win that childs heart.

That's why I believe in the statement "like father-like daughter, like mother-like son" If the mother does what a man wants from a woman (respect) to the father in d son's presence, the son would say my mum is d best AND if the father does what a woman wants from a man (pamper and care) to the mother in the daughter's presence, d daughter would say my dad is the best.

Its simple.

Okay.

It is your father that is of no use. Go and check some homes and see how more responsible some father re. I am a father and I know how much I care for my children. Don't compare ur home with others

In our own case my mum already knew the answer back then when my mum beats my elder sis she will tell her that my mum isn't her real mum that she is going back to delta to locate her mother, she will carry her suicase and start parking as if she even knows the road to delta.

She might not be d biological mother of that child (unknowingly to the child), that was why she felt so insecure to ask that question.

Is you that is sick for this ur useless statement

Mothers always have a way of doing it, and they keep doing it albeit subliminally. They just sort of drum in their children subconscious that she is always the one that love and care about them more. Main reason? She's the one always around them. Especially if the family is going through some turmoil, the father is always the bad man, the no good for nothing dude who just sired them.

As for me,my answer would be that i love her as my mother and also love my dad as my father...i think that answers her question

You must be a product of a broken home, where the mum jump from one 'uncle' to 'alhaji'. Else you'd know the sacrifice dad underwent to have you where you are.

As a teenager your concept of love shouldn't be much more than who provides Christmas clothing, school fees, DSTV, etc.

Any man can provide money..,. doesn't have to be the father. Your mom taught you well....men as sperm donors and to provide money... I guess you are the result of one such donation into her sperm bank and pretty soon your own sperm bank would be open to all donors. Family business...for generations...can't blame you for not seeing anything wrong in your views. @Topic.... only such mothers ehmmm....baby mama's ask such questions.

She just wanted to feel loved. I remember growing up, whenever I called my dad an endearing name or hung around him too much, my mom will say things like " hmm omo daddy or daddy's little girl". She might not admit to it, but I knew it bothered her when I paid more attention to him than I did her, I even used it to my advantage as a child. As an adult, I now understand why she felt this way - our insecurities never let go of us, we are always hoping to be the most loved or the most accepted. For my mom, her children's love and acceptance meant the most to her. And I think it is especially difficult for a woman to realize that her child would pick his/her father over her. Your friend's mom probably felt the same, and she probably should not have asked him that question, but most parents think about who their kid's favorite parent is even if they do not ask them.

That question is diversionary !

i wont answer such a question

Wen I was young.....if my mom and dad are arguing d best I can do is to observe without interfering
After d whole they will still blame me DAT I didn't even talk....
My reply will be I don't know who to support
