Do you tell them?

[Sterla]

Gosh, I feel quite bad now that I don't say it .

Mind you, come to think of it - when I say things to DS like "you dag" or "you funny little thing", etc, it's probably said with the same inflection as "I love you" - I've just replaced the words, lol.

Definitely something I want to work on, especially as DS gets older and understands more.

I agree if you start saying it ...eventually it will just come naturally you wont even have to think about it you will just be saying it.

I must say i am a little suprised with the amount of people who have never been told by their parents that they love them, i find it quiet sad to be honest. I have always been told by both my mum and dad that they love me, it's something we still say to each other every time we speak or see one another. Like i said i tell my children numerous times a day that i love them and my DH and I also say it to each other numerous times a day....maybe the reason i dont have any issues in saying it is because froma very young age i have alwasy been told by my parents that they love me.

Please don't feel sad for me. I'm not sad about it at all. It's just a complete non-issue. Just because we don't say it doesn't mean we don't feel it. And we know we love each other because we show that we do in all sorts of different ways every single day.

Yeah, I can't say I'm sad about not being told "I love you" by my parents. It's very clear to me that they do, I could never doubt it .
It is, however, slightly annoying cause it's made me feel weird about saying it .

I tell DD I love her before every sleep. And the same with DH. I tell him I love him every night before I go to sleep.
