So this is a hot topic in my house right now.
I remember at a very early age not liking my dad. He wasn't very loving. I'm sure he loved me, but he was always barking at me and not affectionate at all. I ALWAYS preferred my mother over my father, and it simply never changed. Seriously, my earliest recollections are of not liking my dad...I'm talking probably somewhere at the 3 year old range.
So the question is, at what point is it normal for kids to favor one parent over the other, and at one point do you think it's because the kid just doesn't really like one parent for whatever reason?
