My children say I love you too much?

There is NOTHING wrong with children who are comfortable enough to openly show affection or love. Your mother in law is most likely saying this because she obviously wasn't shown this kind of affection as a child. I say I love you to my children and my husband several times a day, and they say the same to me. In our family, we make certain that our children know that they are loved and that it is okay to be loving compassionate people. In fact, I would be concerned if they did not. I think that you are fortunate to have children like yours and that your mother in law should be fortunate to have such loving children in her family. I hope that you do not let her change the way that you and your family live. If you are happy with your children, it shouldn't matter what she thinks. You should be PROUD that you have raised loving, compassionate children, and your mother in law should be too. But since she seems to have a problem with it, I suggest telling your husband to tell his mother, to leave well enough alone as there is NOTHING wrong with your children or how they EXPRESS their feelings and emotions. Good luck and happy mylotting.

I don't think you've taught them anything wrong. Sometimes other people are uncomfortable about showing affection. It's just the way they are...you should be true to who you are and not worry about them.

I don't believe that anyone caan say i love you too much. children are very open and honest with their feelings. they tell whsat is in their heaart. Saying i love you just expresses how happy they are in their relationships with you. It's too bad that everyone can not show what a child can do so easily and without prejudice.

Hello there! I think there is no such things as "TOO MUCH" in expressing your affection to your children. For one, it is a positive way of up bringing your children and they are just so lucky to have a very loving parent like you. The love that you show them is the love that they spread and share to all the people around them. And that makes your mom-in-law think that they are over doing it. Perhaps she is not so used of hearing that from people that is why she is reacting that way. If your children say I love you as often as you do to them, it simply shows that they have your love in their hearts all the time! starlight

You can never love your child to much and saying it every day isn't a bad thing. Children need to know they are loved. Nothing wrig with you or your child. I tell my daughter I love her all of the time and it's a good thing. She is a baby and needs that love just like all kids do.

I think that there's nothing wrong in saying iloveyou too much. I always say that to my son, although he's only 6 months old. LOL. But unfortunately, i don't say iloveyou to my parents, i say it sometimes but not always. LOL. They don't say it too, but their actions shows. So what i want to do with my own child is to always say iloveyou.

hi shiesse that mother in law should be spanked for telling you that, she is just making that up to be nasty. forget her families that express love are great as far as I am concerned.I do not think you thought the anything bad or wrong. that woman needs to have her brains checked for mental warping.lol lol

Wow, I don't see how it's a problem to be able to express their feelings and say I love you to their loved ones. The only time I think it would be a problem is if they go around saying it to everyone including strangers. I think it's a great thing that you tell your kids you love them. Most kids hardly ever hear that and then they become unable to express it to others. I don't think you've done anything wrong by telling your kids you love them.

I think it's good that your children feel comfortable and express their feelings so open. There is nothing wrong in showing them that you love them.

This post is too long ago. I am not yet here on that year. I joined here 6 years ago. Hoping you're still here. There's nothing wrong saying I love you to your kid. It's a must to boost their morale as a young individual.
