Does your mom needs to tell you that she loves you?

My mother was the most important person in my life. I loved her so very much although she had never told how much she loved me verbally. It wasn't easy for her for she had to divide her love amongst the six of us. For the abundance she had done for us and the hardship she had undergone to bring us up, I had never have a single doubt about my mother's love for me. Do you need your mom to tell you that she loves you verbally?

All parents love their children. There is very little exception to that. Even if it happened, there must be some reasons behind. The best we can do as sons or daughters, is to be as filial as we could.
It's sad to see that there are a lot cases of abandoned baby by their irresponsible parents. They are so cruel to let their babies dying out there.

Ya, I had a very wonderful mother who means a world to me. When God took her home, I lost almost everything and it hurts me until now.I felt just as painful as my mother did, when her other siblings asked her if her loved them. For all that her had gone through, their unconditional love and the fact that they had raised me how could we ever doubted their love. Honestly, I loved both of my parents and took good care of them when they were bedridden. I felt that I should be the one to say, " I love you" to them rather than needing them to say it to me.

Parents would consider themselves to be really fortunate to have filial sons or daughters especially in today's fast-paced society. Everyone is too busy and spending less time with their parents. But as responsible children, we should fulfill our responsiblities towards our parents.
Those irresponsible parents of abandoned babies are usually uneducated, immatured or mentally compromised . These are abnormal cases where the parents might have been left without a choice.
Thanks so much and take care.

No. Like you I know she does. You can tell by they actions. Remember actions speak louder than words. When my mother smiles at me, I know.

Thanks so much, KarissaAngel (136). You are definately right for our mom really loves us from her bottom of her heart. It may not be not her culture to say ," I love you" but the way she smiles when she sees us and the way she care and concern for us are enough to tell us how much she loves us. We will love our mom all the same for she certainly deserves it all.

No, thank you for the new discussion. I know of a couple of friends where they don't hear their mother say it back even though they say it first. Matter in fact, I went out with one of my girlfriends tonight for dinner and she just happen to bring up this same topic. I told her about your started discussion and she wanted to know what I said to you. I told her, of course. And she told me my response was good. We all like to hear our Mother say 'I love you'. I know I do and she does, but she also grew up in a family environment that did say that. That is the difference. Mother's love us as they gave us life and there is nothing like the relationship between a mother and son/daughter.

Hi KarissaAngel(138). Admittingly," I love you" are indeed the three magical words which everyone globally loves to hear regardless whether they are related to us or our close friends. In appreciation for our mother's love, we may have uttered those words to them as your friends did and eventhough their mom might not have responded as you all expected, they do loves us in their hearts. It would be good to find out why they didn't though. Furthermore, there are so many other ways mothers can express their love for their children especially a good daughter like yourself. She may not have said it, it's up to us to sense and discover it all moreso during times when she can't due to physical impairment.

Hi ketping8889, it's really difficult for chinese people of olden days with conservative thinking to utter "I love you". Though I still could feel how much her love and caring toward the four siblings of us. Besides her work outside she sacrificed almost all her leisure time busy with the household chores daily. She was a hard work without any complain traditional housewife.
I had a neighbor playmate whose mom always express her parental love by kissing her cheek and saying intimately "I love you darling" continuously in front of others often. But I never envied her totally as she was scolded aloud in the public frequently as well. Therefore I still enjoyed and felt content with the way how my mom love me

Thanks, davity. It's certainly wonderful when someone tells you how much you are being loved. You can even feeling like floating in Cloud Nine. But when your mom didn't, have you ever doubted her love for you then?
