Is it true that some children are happier seeing their moms than dads?

I get that the children get close to their mom first but dads are there too. I mean I'm closer to my mom but I love my dad to pieces. I'm close with him too.

When both parents are at least near to be healthy ones and if Freud was right (it seems so), girls trend to grow a bit more attached to fathers.
Same as boys to mothers.

My own family is not a good differential test about since I become a single father of three girls, whith a non available mom.
