telling your family you love them..

how often do u do it?


i just realized i say it to my oldest brother and one of my cousins everytime we leave each other but never to my mum :S & she's closest to me... i don't remember her ever saying it either unless she was drunk. i don't think i've ever heard any other family say it to anyone lol doesn't mean we don't love each other but still i'm curious

haha my nanas always complain that I "never give us hugs like you did when you were little". I don't say it very often tbh, I prefer showing them by doing little things for them instead of telling them. :)

When ive done something annoying
When ive been annoying on purpose and then wanna be nice
When im bored
When i want something
When im leaving or they're leaving somewhere

I always tell my mum i love her before i go to bed (A)

I usually just say 'Love you too' when my mum says it first, or when we're saying goodbye over the phone or something. And before I go to bed.

I don't suppose we are that kind of family. It would just be odd for me to say "I love you" to my parents and they'd look at me like I was an alien.
I'm respectful to all members of my family anyway so I've never really had to promote my love :P of course, if I'm leaving the house / going to bed.. I'd give my Mum / Gran a kiss.

I do see a lot of American families though while on holiday, kids just randomly saying "oh I love you mommy you're the best I'm so lucky"... I'm like :l

yeahhhh it loses its meaning after a while of saying it, my mum knows i love her so i don't need to say it but my brother n cousin are the really sensitive types who need you to say it for them to believe it

Im exactly the same as you Jen, never say it to any of my family really lol, one exception though.

love you Jen x
