At the time of creation, God first created a man called Adam ( father ) and his wife a woman called Eve ( mother). God put them in the garden of Eden to look after it. They had the equal right and responsibilities in caring for everything that were in the garden including the fruit tress, the birds, the animals and the crops.
In our own context, where there is a family which consist of a father , mother and the children living together in one house. They always help each other in what ever situation they come across. However father usually go out fishing and mother most of the time has to do the cooking.
Following what i have mentioned here, i think father and mother are both important..
Yes, both father and mother are important, but sometimes depending on family matters, one parent becomes more important than the other. For example, if one parent is abusive, then the other is the more favorite one, in the same way, if one parent passes away, the other becomes the favorite.
Sometimes it also depends on who is more present in the children’s lives, who the children trust more. For me, personally, my mom is my favorite, she has always guided us and taught us the difference between right and wrong, even though she worked, she always made time for us. Dad has been there, but never had a good relationship with us, he was more involved with other peoples children and hardly spent time to understand and guide us.
But that’s just my personal opinion.
