Is the love of the child towards their mother/father greater than the love of the mother towards her child?

Not a chance. A parent loves their child like no one else. Their love is so strong that they would die for their child. They would take on all the pain that child endures just so the child wouldn't have to feel pain. A child is incapable of that kind of love until they get older.

[BILL]

not at first. a child is mentally incapable of feeling "love" until around age 5-8. before that point the relationship is based solely on comfort, security, and necessity. they do not develop the capacity for empathy until 5-8 as well. so no the child does not love the parent more.

NO

The biological bond between mother and child is the strongest bond. Love is the willingness to sacrifice for the other. A healthy parent would willingly make this sacrifice.
