As JshWright said, when there's something to be said involving a child, most people turn to the mother rather than the father.

- throwanem 10y agoMy prior comment was ill-considered and unnecessarily combative, for which I apologize. My own experience includes a mother who did in fact mostly raise me, but also a father who was generally feckless in a wide variety of ways. On reflection, I strongly suspect I have based my understanding of parenting dynamics in families with two worthwhile parents primarily on wishful thinking - excusable in a child, perhaps, but not so in a grown adult. I'll keep an eye out for that in future.
