Do you tell your parents how much you care for them?

I was never revealed, but I always tried to show with action. My parents would know that I care. without my express they'd understand. I was the most difficult to express feelings, so I'm more pleased with the give action. I feel it is more meaningful than just a greeting.

Well,I am so shame to say I never tell to my parents that I care for them so far,maybe I wouldn't never say it out.But I do care them very much even though I didn't say it out.It's difficult for me to express my emotion to those who I really care.I just hope they can feel it.I know I'm not a good daughter,but I am trying to be.

bOTH MY PARENTS ARE DECEASED BUT I WILL TELL U I WOULD NEVER GET TIRED OF HEARING MY SONS say i love u. Since things are not so good right now w/either one of my sons it would be wonderful to hear. Happy days to u.

hello setsuna, right now, i am trying to be more expressive with my feeling to my parents. but i admit that i have hard times telling it to them face to face or through oral conversation... what i usually do is to express my feelings through writings, and i 'm glad that they appreciate it. and besides i think even without saying a word, they very well know that i care for them and that i love them more than anything else... and you know even if its through letters only, they have a tendency of becoming too emotional...so what more if i tell it to them face to face... i still believe that action speaks louder than words and i know that they feel how much i care for them...

I tell both my parents that I love them. Being a guy, sometimes it is harder for a guy to say I love you to one's parents because guys are supposed to be macho. I have learned that it is always important to say I love you to your parents and try and show that you love your parents by obeying them. Often enough I fail at obeying my parents and constantly disobey them, which hurts them a lot. I know my parents are proud of me. I hope that in the future I be successful enough to give them honor and help them out financially, as they helped me through the years.

Huhu ;-( Sad to say NO. On the other hand happy to say also eventhough i may not able to say it but the good thing is that i am showing them how much they mean to me and how much i care for them too! Like they say. Action speaks louder than words. ayt?! ;-P

hi setsuna, I find it hard to express in words my love and care for my family. I feel that I will melt right away in front of them when I say it. However, even though I cannot express in in words, I always show it on my actions. I know there are lots of ways to show your care and love in actions rather than words. Words sometimes can be misleading but actions are not. For example, I can minute by minute tell them that I love them but it can only be true words but not in actions. However there are also some people who can do what they say and not just give a senseless talk. In my case, I show them that I care for them and love them by being with them especially if they need someone to talk with. I help them especially in household chores. I listen to them and never say any hurting words. I believe those are ways for them to know how much I appreciate them.

I am not really an expressive person and I tend to not to say it directly with them but my action would tell it to them directly that i do care for them ans so love them that i would not mind to indulge my time in caring for them like it is a payback time since they already care for me when they are still strong and now they are at the older age, it is my pleasure as a sign of compliments to look after their welfare as well.

I never say it to my parents,i can't open my mouth,if i say to them,they will surprise ,i think. Chinese people is shy to say that. But i love them very much ,my and my sister have been married. we call them everyday ,chat with them, about what they do ,and so on. i think that they know how we love them.and we know how they love us too.

Hello setsuna! We might believe that action speaks louder than words, though, spoken words of care and much more love would mean so much to the ears of the person which it is directed upon. Spoken words like this endearment is just like the sweetest taste ever experienced or a nice breeze under the scorching sun, or might be a spring of cold water while walking at a desert.Oh!i could indeed go on and on citing examples of how it feels when hearing those words. And realizing this fact,how could I bear not to let my parents experience such happiness by telling them this special moving word.Though we also have to consider that mere utterance of this word will be void when not coupled with visible and felt actions too because a word meant is also an action being carried out.For this discussion I would say YES!

well by hug,love giving good things from the market!respect what else one can offer to the giver of the life!they only want this from the kids!!

I'm a man of action, literally. I know, i've never said the words to them for a year now. And it's sad. But I really don't know why it is so hard for me to speak words of endearment. All that I do is to express it with my actions. I buy them gifts... I pray for them... I wish someday I could say those words...

I'm not really good at telling my parents how i really feel about them, i just make them letters and i show them by actions...

i say it to them , and show it through unusual acts. acts that i don't do much. because i believe in the fact that we completely forget showing them appreciation until it's too late for them to know or feel our love.

I am the black sheep. So I dont really talk to them much. I am a parent though. I tell them I love them and how important they are to me EVERYDAY! Parents are the reason there children behave differently. If we nurture them, they will have a good foundation to build a great personality. Life is too short to pick favorites or isolate our children. If only all parents would do this. dl

Nope i would never tell them how much i care for them,rather i would prefer showing my love and concern i have for them,when time comes they would be really glad to have me.There are many ways to exhibit your love apart from telling them directly in other words being expressive---that would be Odd too if i tell them that i love them a lot of a sudden.so i prefer keeping my feelings to myself.great day.

I do not tell anything like that to my parents,but I am sure that they know that I care them a lot. Yesterday I took my mother to a marriage function.She was not interested .We took her by force as I knew she will enjoy every moments there. Now,she is very happy.She is telling everyone that she managed to meet a lot of her relatives and friends only because I took her for that function. She is 80+. You need not tell your parents these things,you can make them feel it.....

Hello setsuna my friend! well as the saying goes "Action Speaks louder than voice"..Almost everyone now,express our love to our parents & love ones by showing it on through our actions...but of course it is much appreciated & very good to hear it directly from them...& I may not able to say it all the time but i tried to convey it to them especially to my mom how much she means to me & how much love i have for her & how much i am grateful that she is my mother.

i really don't express it but deep inside in my heart it is there, i love my parents so much specially my mother because she is the one working for the family!

I am not that showy of my feelings towards my parents. i think it's so corny. i do tell them i love them by texting them. when im about to go home late.. i text them 'i will be late.. im sorry, ilove you."
