Why is it that male children seem to love their mothers more?

You are damn on point bro. hmm..very interesting

In psychology, this is known as Oedipus complex.
It was explicitly discussed by Sigmund Freud in his theory of psychosexual development. I'll suggest you read up the theory online for a clearer understanding of this topic.

"When the Oedipus complex is not successfully resolved during the phallic stage, an unhealthy fixation can develop and remain. This leads to boys becoming fixated on their mothers and girls becoming fixated on their fathers, causing them to choose romantic partners that resemble their opposite-sex parent as adults."


As for your question Op, fixation to mother only occurs when the Oedipus complex is unresolved in males; this explains why some boys love their mothers more.

because they are weak

And the femalee too, tend to be closer to their papa..

The postulation is alien to me because I have equal love for both my father and my mother. Maybe, you can use the word "some male children" next time.

There are always exemptions in issues like this.

Depending on how you relate, and affections shown towards.

If the father shows more affection, care and love to the kid(male or female), definitely, the kid will get more closer and love the father more, VICE VERSA!

There are little Dose of Natural Love, but most times, Love is built up.

You earn it.
