Why do you love your parents?

Do you still remember when was the last time you told your parents you love them? Some children are expressive about this, others are not. When asked about their day, they nonchalantly say, "fine'', "ok". Parents, however, are never happier when their children tell them they love them. They are thrilled when their children talk about their activities or share their secrets. What pains them is when children take them for granted. I love my parents because they do not only give me love and attention, they also discipline me in the right way. They work hard for my future. Once, however, i made them sad. At first i got angry when they discipline me. But after a while i realized they were right, i promised to become a good boy. When i do have, i go to them for help. They give of rules to follow. I could never repay what they are doing for me. Because of this, i love them very much.

Why do you love your Parents? Well thats is only possible if they first loved you.Do we tell our Parents that we love them? No need to,because we should show them that we love them,and that is enough.How do we do this? We do this by treating them with love and respect and kindness.Ofcourse it is like I said,if Parents truly love their children,and express it naturally and Spiritually,said children will naturally feel this and return it.!!!!LOL!!!!

we were not used to saying "I love you" to my parents... but we show them we love them... and now that i'm a mother, i would want my kids not only to show but also to tell me that they love me, so i do tell them that i love them, every now and then, and i kiss them and hug them.

Because they have brought me up to believe in myself. They have never spoilt me, but always made sure I have everything I need. They have always been there when needed, and always let me make my own decisions, whether they thought they were right or wrong. I know that I can trust them, and that they will always support me in whatever I want to do. Plus they are really nice people.

of course i love my parents and thats an instinct i think, even though how sinful they are, and one thing is for sure parents wont let there children be in suffer they want us to be happy, contented and satisfied, they will do anything for us thats how parents are, and so with us, we should love them unconditionally....

Yeah same here, i am not expressive either. I guess i never told my parents that i love them. However i show my love in actions. I do everything i can to make them happy and to comfort them. I try my best not to let my problems reach them. Doesn't matter how many problems i have here, but way back at home i always tell them that life is going cool. I do respect them a lot. They have done a lot for me. God bless them. And God bless all you people's parents too.

I've seen my niece tell my sister that she loves her. As a child I never did this. I felt it often, especially for my father, but I thought it was sissyish to say things like that. In my young days we were not taught to express our feelings that way although my mother often told me she loved me. I think its great for children to tell their parents they love them. Really great.

I think parents always is a moral support for everyone. When you feel sad, your parents always near you to listen to what makes you sad. Or when you happy, the parents will multiply your happy and you will feel happier. And when you get married, have a baby, you will become the parents. At that time, you will feel what parents bring for you.

I have never told my parents the word directly. We are not expressive. But we know that we love each other. They give me a comfortable family and decent education. They show me how to be a mature and elegant person. They want to provide me everything they can afford . They protect me from the sad and darkside of the life. But I need to grow up as an responsible adult. I hope oneday I can repay them . Though we have quarrels about my future marriage,I know they want me to have a happy family. But I think it's my choice to me married or unmarried. So, don't worry, I will realize what I want.

I love them because of what they have done for me. Well, I would have to say, I love my mother for what she has done for me. Because my father left us when he found out that my mother was pregnant so he ran away. I really appreciate what my mother has done for me. Even if it makes me feel sometimes bad. :/ I hope that I can give her back at last a little of this when I have grown up and have gotten a job. I really love her even if I don't see her that often now that I am only for 1 or 2 days at home every week. But at the same time I could say that I hate my father for what he did. Really, I might understand why he did it but I simply can't forgive him. My life and the one of my mother would be totally different if we still had my father there (at last thats what I think) but since he left us our life changed a lot. I mean really, my mother works so hard so that we have money for food and cloth but she wouldn't have to if I had a father who would be working to. I simply can't forgive him for what he did. :(

I love my parents very much. But I am not a very expressive person and I never tell them I love them thought they know that I love them. My parents are farmers and they work very hard to support the family. there are six in my family. sister, twe brothers. All of us will finish our college education. Thanks for my parents very much. I love them and I will take a chance to tell them.
