I love you.........

[Im a BusyBee]

when was the last time you said that or gave a hug to a member of your family or friend ( not your partner)? I never have, never do, cant remember the last time....is it cos i cant remember my mum doing it to me - and she used to moan about my dads family members when they did?

[zzxxee]

to my kids everyday

[leggymassiah]

I say it to elisha cuthbert every nite.

Do you think she can hear me ???


: o)

[craft1948]

keep going leggy............I'm sure you'll get your reward...

Does telling people you love them because you want them to do something count?

I tell my friends I love them all the time and my dad every night when he phones and my middle sister everytime she emails.

I am physically tactile but not verbally so.
Never said I loved my mother, but was forced to by mrs sqad, mother then said "I didn't realise sqad had a softer side to him".....bleedin hell....I never said I loved her again. She died last year and I never grieved.
Never knew my father, so no sweat there then, brought up my grandparents who were very working class and I never heard them say "I love you" to anybody.

Use whatever words you like and whatever words make you happy................actions speak louder than words.

This morning when I dropped my youngest daughter off at nursery (she works there) - we always have a hug and kiss and say "I love you." It was especially important today because I am off to Glasto now, and won't see her until Sunday. Missing her and my wife already!

Come on andy...it can only be ten minutes.......missing your daughter and wife already????????????/

I have no family to say it too and I don't really tell my mates that I love them! I gave my best friend a hug the other week though when she was going through a tough patch.

I was brought up to show how we felt about people rather than saying it. My parents loved us to bits and nothing was ever a chore for them regarding us. We often smiled at each other, made a joke and generally all felt good but the love word was never said nor even written in a letter or card.
I put myself out for people to show I care and love them and invite them for meals etc but would never say it. Funnily enough it doesn't bother me one iota to say Je t'aime to hubby!

[sqad617]

coccinelle.....try singing je t'aime to him.....LOL

My phylosophy is similar to yours and I find that the word "love" is banded about with such gay abandon that it has become meaningless.

[caththecrazy]

I say it to my sons all the time - probably because neither of my parents ever said it to each other in front of us children or to us.

I do say it to a couple of close friends and my brother in law and the dog and cats!!!

[cazzaz]

My mum never told me she loved me but I always new she did by the way she was , the way she spoke to me and the way she took care of me.Niether did my dad. After she died 12 years ago I made an effort .............kissed my dad each time I saw him and sometimes told him I loved him. Now my sons hug me and kiss me all the time ,one son lives in Holland and we never get off the phone without telling each other I love you......sometimes you need to make the first move....and after you do.....it's easy ..and lovely too

[cazzaz]

There is a song by Garth Brooks called .....If tomorrow never comes..............................listen to the words..........then make up your mind

[NOX]

Every time I speak to my kids on the phone or see them in real life.
My parents were dysfunctional, unpleasant people but no need I should be. I want my kids to have the best childhood possible and that includes being under no illusions of how much I love them, so I say it very often, and it makes me feel nice to do so:)

[caththecrazy]

Nox I feel exactly like that but couldn't put it into words.

I sometimes wonder why our parents had us - must have been a mistake. But my hubby's parents were far worse and now my mil wants to all nicey nicey to our boys.

[Ice.Maiden]

Brilliant NOX.
I'm always telling my children that I love them, whether they've been playing up or whatever. It comes naturally to me, because I DO love them very much.

[roomster]

I dont ever remember my mum or dad ever telling me ao i make sure i tell my son everyday and my fiancee

[ummmm]

My Mum....rarely.

My Dad....when he was alive :-( all the time. He did treat me like I was about 7 though. He use to come round the house to 'see the kids' and bring me a big bag of sweets....lol

I miss him :-((((((((((
