is this a fair statement.......?

moms were always better than dads at reading and assessing their (especially teenaged) kid's emotions and thoughts.

...i remember when i was about 15 and madly in love with a girl. i remember one day just curled up on the couch thinking about her. mom came to me and said .... "you're in love, aren't you?" i lied and said no... she replied "i know you are" .....i thought to myself, how the eff did she know that? dad never would have figured it out. there were other situations growing up where mom's "spidey" senses just knew stuff and dad was oblivious

moms are also more aware of their childrens health issues, know who their teachers are, and are just generally more present in their day to day lives

@Frostcloud dad was heavily involved in my physical wellbeing and sports and always knew when i got in fights at school 🤣

Both of my parents would have been utterly oblivious.

The only thing my dad ever wanted to talk about was me working for him for free and not complaining. Unfortunately for him he had to pay me. That didn't improve his disposition any. So he paid me a dollar an hour less then everyone else. He figured that way people would be less likely to ask for a raise.

My mom was the best though. 😊💖💖💖

Ermmm🤔... not exactly.

It really depends upon the time each parent got to spend with you. And their inner nature.
Some Mums are HORRORS.

And some dads are amazing.

Your mum sounds like a real goodun 💪
