If you have a good mother, she will let you know she is not more important than your father. If your mother is biased, you will grow up with the mentality that mothers are more important than fathers. In a good home, children understand that father and mother are equally important.

I love my father and my mother equally.
Many people say mothers are more loving than fathers. They also say they love their mothers most. Mothers are believed to be more supportive than fathers because mothers are biased in their love. An average mother can support injustice in favour of her children, an average father will not do that. This is why an average mother with many children can be kinder to one child more than others. Average fathers hardly do that. Mothers will keep on pampering you when you remain stubborn, fathers will allow you to taste the consequences of your actions so you may change for good. Mothers will always consider you too young to know the difficult side of life. Fathers will allow you experience the difficult side for you to be well-prepared for survival. This is why when a teenager misbehaves outside, he or she fears the father but will easily reveal his or her crime to the mother. University students, when they get poor results, will first inform their mothers. Most times, the mothers will not tell the fathers about the children's academic poor performance. But the fathers are the payers of school fees. Fathers are more honest and rational. Sadly, fathers are downgraded because they are more disciplined.

Love differs from trust. Trust is based on kindness or honesty. Love is based on equity and fairness. Love is not guided by sentiment or by selfishness. Bible says "Love your neighbour as you love yourself", not "Trust your neighbour as you trust yourself". Also, the Bible does not say you should love only those that pamper you. When you have only 1,000 Naira to spend and you give it to a stranger that needs it for food or school fees instead of you using it to get chicken for yourself or for your friend, that is equity and it means to love.

The Bible does not say a father is more important or less important than a mother. When you share something between your father and your mother according to who needs it most, you love them. But if you share something to them according to who is closer to you or who pleases you most, it is just a demonstration of sentiment.

If your father and your mother are jobless in the village, do not give him only a bottle of wine when you give her clothes and money. Buy him cloth and give him money too. If your father earns more money than your mother does, give your mother more money. If your mother earns more money than your father does, give your father more money.

Please, I don't mean you should encourage your father to be the champion of every drinking bar in your village. If the reason you give him less is that he misuses it, it is understandable, and it is not the same as starving him because you are closer to your mother.

It's until you grow up that you might understand your father loves you more .... He practically sacrifice his sweat and blood to raise you and doest even need your Thank you

Its not same for everyone. I know those immature, myopic and surface-viewer girls will flood here and shout mothers.

But the fact remains that it varies for people. While some argue that mothers are more loving despite spending thier children school fees and the father have had to pay twice yet father has kept mute about it till the children grew up simply because he's forgiven mother, some argue that fathers are deeper lovers who don't announce every sacrifice of theirs despite taking stout and enjoying himself at lady-T restaurant once in a while and mother is nagging about that in the children's presence almost all the time

It's not a gender based argument at all, it's experience-based and also based on the personality of both parents.
