Hi! all of you. I am sure and truly believe that most of you have never said about this words to your parents. You used to think why you are growing and attending school, or university, getting knowledge, getting job, and getting much salary from your work. Now please start thinking of it and ask your self with me. Mother and father are important person who we must respect and keep their gratefulness for your whole life since they give your born from a small baby until now. The grateful person always try to work hard such as working in the company or running a business in order to feet your life. They don't say anything when they meet difficulty in their work. They still try to work from day to day for your future. On the other hand, have you ever used the bad words to them? This kind of action is not right for all the children, son, daughter. Everything that I said about it is a good idea for everyone who haven't known you mistake yet.Certainly, you should express your love to them (Parents). I really want to know that when you stay with your whole family and your sibling and eat some food such as rice, fruit juice, drinks. So what do you feel? All these reasons, you should keep this opportunity and try to find the good time together to have breakfast, dinner, or supper...etc. It's not just difficult to say to your parent that " I love you". So don't forget to say it when you meet them, and when you go to sleep.

I have when I was younger. Come to think of it, I haven't told them how much I love them in a few years now. i find it really hard to say. I really do love them but it's a bit awkward. We're not a very emotional family so we rarely talk about our feelings aside from the "I'm bored, chocolate makes me happy" stuff.

I always say those words to my parents when I was a kid. Every time I wrote them a letter my great grandmother (who raised me well from 2 to 16 yrs of my life) always reminds me to write in the letter the words I love you. Now that I'm in my early 20's I no longer do that because I'm not really that close to my parents. I can't say words that I really don't feel so it's better to keep quiet than say that. I know deep in my heart that I feel sad because of what happened to us because my parents didn't raised us and didn't even tried to make our family whole. They are complete, together with my brothers but my father did not express the love for me and my sister. I think he only like boys. Anyway I love my mom but I could not love her that much. I just want to help her because she's the one supporting the family. If other people out there are close to their parents, then they should always say I Love You from the heart.

Yes, I had said I love you to my parents, but not frequently. When I first time said it to my mother, my mother surprise to it, some seconds later, she told me that she loves me too. I said I love you to my father, he said I knew it, of course you should love me, because I love you so much. Do you think my father is an interesting person?

Hi qiongzheng, Yes so great, It's really fantastic.You know, your father is believed you and he is happy when he heard his son said this to him.It's meaning that he had a love for all children so much and he wants children love him back as he love.
I think that it's very an interesting.

hello nheansakea,
I grew up with a family that we never show emotions to each other. But when I got married, everything changed for my wife kept on saying the three little words to me and our kids. No wonder for my in-laws were doing that to them since they were small till now that my wife has her own family. It's so important for me for when we have our vacation abroad, my nephew and niece were following our kids in saying it. My sister was so happy that we went there for they learned something from us.
When we wake up in the morning till we sleep at night we say the three little but important words to each other with a sweet kiss and warm hugs. It's so important to show not only our love to each other but respect as well. So proud of my family and lucky as well..

Hi,Rober I'm happy when you say about your experience for saying the word to the parents and I think know about using our good word for family. it's cause all the member do any good for living hood. when we say the better word to person or member in the family it's good thing for them cause them to do the right thing and have good feel. all about cause that that said you can achieved your work and a lot more.So all of us should can learn to use a little bit time or any time to hold a celebrate or vocation as you said for family.Meanwhile maybe we have a lucky.

Hi there!
Frankly I have never said "I love you" to my parents for ages now. I can't even remember when was the last time I said it. But though I haven't said it for a while that doesn't mean I love them less. It's just that when we grow old we become busy and so things like saying I love you to our parents can sometimes be forgotten. Sometimes also its because we're not used to saying it to our parents.
Personally I find saying I love you to my parents at my age is bit corny now hehehe. Well this is just me. I'm not the type who often expresses feelings in words. I'd rather show my love by taking care of them as a responsible daughter.
Ciao!

OK,iskayz, I understand what you thing.the growing and you became a old man didn't mean you can't say the word" I love you to your parents" yet. and the word I love you to parents it's not just to express our love to them.although We don't saying it.when you try to work, or study hard, do a good thing it's also express love to them , yes still have anything else.

I tell my parents "I love you" all the time and have since childhood. I was raised by parents who said it all the time and I followed suit. My children tell my husband and I all the time and we tell them at least 3 times daily and some days more but never less. I think it's important to tell your family you love them and my sibilings and I say it to each other all the time as well.
I can't believe you say "never" did you mean to say something else?

I have always said ilove you to my mother and father
each time i see them or speak to them.
It would be selfish of me not to say that to them. after all they
have helped me out with i owe them that much respect. They deserve
to hear those meaningful words.

I have said "I love you to my parents almost everyday since the day I learned how to say it. I say it to my kids and husband and friends and other family members multiple times a day:) I grew up in a household where not only did you say I love you when you were leaving the house, we said it to each other when one of us were leaving the room, lol. Example: I would get up and start to walk out of the room. My dad would say, "Hey, Peanut Butter" (my nickname that I still get called everyday and I am now 35, 36 in two days:)"Whatcha doing"? "Oh, I'm just going in kitchen to get something to drink" I would say. Then my dad would say, "oh,ok...well, be careful not to break the glass and cut yourself, I love you". Me: 'smiles' "Ok, dad, I love you, too". This is the same for my house. So, yes, I (thankfully) know I am loved and those I love know I love them right back........I hope you have someone who tells you they love you on a daily basis and someone who you can tell also...

Hi nheansakea.
I do love my Parents and always will even past this life. I have most definately said that I Love My Parents and Boy did I mean it. They have given me this life I have as much as God has given it to Me so that's just the way it is. I Love Them and God too. I have been brought up to show that I love my Family and Love the Lord and so on and so forth and I have always in my own special way shown it too.

When my mother and father were alive, I said "I love you" after every phone conversation and after every visit. I end each phone conversation with my daughters the same way. I tell my grandchildren all the time.
There are very few things that are more important than knowing that someone loves you without reservation, no matter what you do. My parents gave me that confidence. I am happy to be able to pass it on.

Hello nheansakea! This is a good discussion. Sad to say but I never remembered when di I ever say those words to my dad even to my mom. I am not that close to my parents and I always show my bad sides rather than my good sides. I was used to it as a defense mechanism. Though if I tried to be cuddling to them, they tried to avoid me. But when I left for US, I left each one of them a letter which letting them know how much I care and love them. Though they never heard me saying it to them, with in myself I know I love them.
