DAD or MOM?

Did somebody ever asked you, “who do you like more, your mom, or dad?”
For other people, they will say ‘both’. I think they don’t mean that question. Of course, it asking if who is better of the two choice or who of the two do you prefer more.
Actually, I am a daddy’s girl, but for me, I think I think I like my mom more. This doesn’t mean that I don’t want my dad. It’s just that there is something in my mom which is greater than my dad. For sure, there are many advantages and disadvantages for both of them.
My father loves to drink. He is now 42 years of age, but still he loves to be with those alcoholic liquors. He sometimes feel sick and I think it is because he drinks too much and too hard. At times, I got angry at him for the reason that he comes home very drunk.
My mom and dad are both working as a cargo forwarder. But for me, my mom works more. When we have the pay for the month, my father makes it a habit to ask 50% of it. This career is only our financial source. The part which given to my father goes to nothing. He has that bad habit, in Filipino term he has the ‘bisyo’. He doesn’t have any other women. It is just that he always give everything for his cock. Every time he has the money, he always goes to the cock fighting arenas an drop his money there. He is not the type of father that comes home very tired from work, and gives his pay to his wife. My father is not like that. He is different.
But I understand. He is really like that. I just wish that he would change that bad habit. I still love him very much. Nothing can replace him.
“Mother knows best” as what they say. Yes, I know. My mom knows everything best for our family. Even the house that we’re living in now- it’s all because of her. Because of all her effort just to stand our very own house, she makes me believed that she is the breadwinner in the family. She even does everything- washing our clothes, cleaning the plates, and all the household errands. There are times when I got angry at her. But then I realize she is very right. Everything is alright if my mom is there. She knows what her kids want and what they don’t.
That is why I choose my mom more than my dad. But you know what, I am very proud to have a father like him. Life without him is impossible for me. Even my mom, she is truly my life. My parents are both very special for me. I love them. Nothing can replace them in my heart. They are everything need to live in this world. I love my mom and dad very much.
How about you? Which do you prefer- your mom or dad?
