They both look grammatically incorrect.

When I asked "What thought.." I was not joking. I do not understand what you want to say. I cannot correct sentences I do not understand. Do you mean something like this: Whom do you like more your mom or your sister? _________________ con·text - The part of a text or statement that surrounds a particular word or passage and determines its meaning. |

This may become clear if written this way: Whom do you find yourself more attached to, your father or mother? Next the omission of the reflexive pronoun,yourself, found in the original (not the above) sentence made it look odd. best of luck, nanucbe |

I know. Even I was confused :?
Thanks SkiIuck Nanucbe.
A silly question --
Whom do you find yourself more attached to?
Can we rephrase it to start with 'To whom' and end with 'attached with'? Would that make sense? _________________ First lesson - English, not english. I, not i. ~A student of English |

In my opinion, it would sound awkward and redundant.
"To whom do you find yourself more attached with?" |

Hi dear friend, this is Joao Fonseca, I've used both at work, what I noticed is when you write a memo at the top of the letter your write to whom... sounds like something official, but talkint to each other I guess either way sounds good. don't you think so? _________________ Joao Mª H. Fonseca

You could also say the following:
With whom do you feel/sense/experience more attachment?
or
With whom do you feel/sense/experience/enjoy a greater sense of attachment? _________________ Billie Jean is not my lover. Hee. |
