this thread makes me sad.... my mother has never told me that she loves me, she sure has taken time to tell me that she hates me and wishes i were never born because of who my father is.. i havent seen my dad since i was 5, and the only father figure i had, who i thought cared about me was, no, is a pedophile. i used to let it get to me, but i am not gonna let her coldness affect me... the way i see it, shes missing out, because when it comes to my family, friends and pets i am a very warm loving generous person.. she will never get to experience my affection. I do think that kids need to hear and learn how to be affectionate towards other people, but the fact that they grew up without, hopefully, will not have too bad of a negative effect.

I,m a dad of 3boys,and i make it my business to tell my boys i love them every day,,just grab a few moments and stop the clock,and sit with them,each,mostly at bed time,but it means a lot to me to do this.. AS a child born in the 60s,and from ireland,our parents never told us,Now i dont think that had a bad effect on me,but i think its just a positive thing to be open and honnest with your kids.. Sometimes you may not feel like you love them,or even like them,but i just think its Rating: 5
