my kid was yelling at me that i dont love here because i make her do her chores and home work and yell at her occasionally, to do her stuff.
my reply was i love her very much just dont always like her attitude.
my son comes in before bed for his hug and i love ya .
dont always like they way they act but i will always love them no matter what and i tell them so, my dad to this day still doesnt say it unless i say it first, but he grew up when it wasnt manly to say that i guess.
