Is it common for sons to have a closer relationship with their mothers?
And, do daughters more commonly feel closer to their fathers?
If this is so, why?

Yes
Look up the oedipus complex
For me it wasn't so much an attraction thing as it was "we both acknowledge she's nuts and can talk about actual things", but I was closer with my mom because she was always home and acting crazy.

Pretty much I just felt closer to my dad because he was on my intellectual level and peraolality type. My mom is just a fruitcake but my dad loved the pussy so he stayed and procreated.
Femanon here. I am closer to my mom cuz my dad was an emotionally abusive alcoholic. My mom is like the grown up wiser version of myself honestly. I relate to her on almost every level save for I don't have kids.
My dad isn't very close to either of his kids because he's just not very good at communicating or connecting with other human beings. Unfortunately I seem to have inherited some of this
My mom however is a much better communicator and has a well developed sense of humour, so she's overall a lot more likeable
