[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends much more on personality than sex, I think.

I (female) got/get along much better w my mom than my dad, mostly because my dad is just a difficult person in general and it’s hard to talk to him bc he’s overly critical and negative.

With my own kids, I clash more w my son than my daughter and I think it’s because my son and I are very similar (both very sensitive, both over analyze things, both very emotional) which can make it hard to be together because 2 of that type of personality is intense. whereas my daughters personality is more like my husband and we balance each other more so it’s easier to get along w her. But I understand my son better since he’s so like me and sometimes that helps me understand how to approach situations with him more effectively. It’s just hard at times to get along with someone who shares so many kind of difficult personality traits with yourself bc you constantly have to confront your own flaws as you see them played out through your child.
