we're the same..I find it hard also to say "I LOVE YOU"to my mom,think its just normal,what we can do is to just show our love to them by caring and remembering their birthdays and giving gifts during special days of their lives...

yes I think so. sometimes when mother gets older she is becoming more emotional as well and knowing that you don't forget her special day makes sense to her.

Some people just have a hard time with this, not me though. You might also want to take a good look at your relationship with your mother. How will she react to you saying I love you? Just be honest with yourself and with her. It shouldn't be that hard.

I think she will be shocked when i say it.. for her it is very unusual for me to do it.

I too have the same problem. I love both my parents a lot and really am grateful to them for bringing me in this world and doing a whole bundle of things that can not be counted! At times, I really want to thank them for everything. But I find it really hard, specially when it comes to saying this to my father. So, I have discovered another way for doing this. I write all my feelings in a greeting card and give it to my parents on occassions. I have also tried doing this vide text messaging (SMS).

Dear its just normal that u cant say 'I luv you Mom".This is normal human mentality.If u really love her you dnt really need to tell her by words that u love her.Show it by ur activities.She cud understand u.

Saying I love you to family members can be awkward because you're not used to being mushy around them... :-) I say I love you to my mom through text messages, since she lives in a different place.

You find it hard to say "I love you" to your mom because most probably you're not too attached to your mom. But when you uttered it on the first time you will be getting used to it. Try it and you'll find out. I did it to my mom and it works for me.

It is normal. Saying i love you to our parents was not enough. Maybe we couldn't say it because we are not that close to our parents. Other's say i love you to their parents without doubt or shame.

there can be alote of reasons to it maybe you 2 are not very emotional and open people and it is o.k. maybe you are angry at her for somthing that was done in the childhood and from that point your realationship started to be more closed- without too much emotion there are alote of realationships between a mother-daughter and none of them are simple so if you love your mom and she loves you and the only problem is that you are not telling each other the sentence: "i love you" it's o.k....don't worry you are not the only one:)

yes i agree with ur statement.it is just because mom always thinks for our benefit..but in children feel that she is always thinks against me.. the simple answer is age difference.
