Sometimes. Neither of my parents were very lovey dovey or hugging type. But since they fed, clothed and let all 4 of us live in their house - i think its safe to assume they loved us XD
-
Yes, and he did mean it. For years I thought he did not love me. but in the end he proved he did.
-
Yes... but actions speak louder than words....
-
He may have when I was very little before he was hooked on Rx meds. I don't personally remember ever hearing him say it though.
-
Certainly! He could always talk a good game. Follow through wasn't his strong suit, I'm afraid.
-
He says it every time I talk to him. -
Yes, constantly..I was 100% a daddy's girl :)
-
Yes he always did and still does.
-
My Father did. Not only did he say it often to me and the rest of my brothers and sister, he showed us in his deeds of having 2 and 3 jobs along with his main 8 hour a day job just to put food on the table and cloths on our backs, shoes on our feet and a summer home at the shore every year......he was an awesome person.
-
Nope.
-
Yes my dad says it before my mother.So i know who i'd prefer.
-
Nope, or that he was or is proud of me, or anything meaninngful like that, it's not his style, but I know it's all true, i can tell he envys me as well, which is reassuring to all else.
-
yes, I don't return the favor because he never acts like he does.
-
He did only a few times but he was (mostly) a good man. (Old school Italian)
-
yea, all the time.
-
Yes he did all the time,he passed on 15 years ago I miss him a lot. I was a spoiled daddy's girl.
-
Yes, mostly by his actions, but spoken as well, occasionally.
-
Yes, all the time. His parents were divorced and he had his problems, but he always was there for me and tried to do the best job he could as a dad. He's been gone for 11 years now and I miss him calling me up and saying "How's it going, what are you doing?". I never realized how much I would miss that.....
-
no not my mom or dad, we always had food, insurance, a solid roof (never moved from place to place), new clothes... taught manners. they didnt know how to express their feelings...i guess. but i know they loved me... all 5 of us. and as they get older they have been softening up. i see it with the grandchildren. do i tell my son i love him. everyday. do i hug my son? everyday. do i wish my parents had done the same for me. yeah. but they were not raised that way.
-
Funny, my dad never did. Actually, once..but not to me, to a camera for a video for my induction. He did, however show me in so many ways. My dad is amazing. I always thought I needed to hear those words, but now I realize...actions really do speak louder than words!!
-
Never. But that's quite normal in traditional Asian families, where the father is considered "king".
-
Oddly enough he started to say it once in a while when I reached my 30's,still he never showed it.
-
Never spoken. By actions yes
-
Every night and every day, both he and mom.
-
Many, many times...as did my Mom. Dad also told me many times how proud he was of me. I could not have wished for better parents...and a wonderful Sister, too. Our's was a loving family. They're all gone, now. I miss them. +5
-
Not all that often...no.
-
Yes
-
Not that I can recall. No.
-
Yes, not that often, but that is just the way he was raised. I wish he would though! : )
-
Yes.
-
Yes.
-
Yes, sometimes.
-
Not that I can remember. That's okay though. We're not the 'I love you' type.
-
Yes.He still does :)
-
Yes... 25 years to late.
-
yes he does but now he died
-
once and i remember the date and time.
-
To Answer my Question..... The relationship between me and my father is like really Horid, he doesn't talk to me, tell me how am I, i have half-sisters yet i dont see them, he freatened to kill me once.. i have to say only 10% that i love him, i guess its unconditional
-
Not even once. That I know off... Amnesia's a bitch.
-
yes, every day when i a was a child. when hed go to work on the weekends hed wake me up every time to tell me hes leaving and he loves me and kissed me on the head. every day up until he died of cancer when i was 8. im lucky to have good memories of him
-
Not in words.
-
nope.
-
Never. He has the charm and sensitivity of a boa constrictor.
-
Tell me, yes...sober I'm not so sure about!
-
All the time because he wanted to make up for my mother. LOL
-
In many different ways...and still does at age 92!
-
At night before we went to sleep, my brother, sister, and I would always kiss both of our parents and say Love you (or love you too - depending if they said it first) good night! It was like a mechanical reaction, so I don't think he actually meant it. He never really talked to me otherwise, unless I was in trouble. So now when he says it, now that I've found out that he's not my bio father, I don't know if he's just saying it or what.
-
No, he never did. I knew he loved me.
-
yes...but in his manly way...not in words though...
-
Mostly in his actions. Sometimes in words. I believe, it's doesn't matter if your father tells you or not tell you that he loves you. You always know he do. Different men have different personalities. Soft and hard. If he is soft - you will probably hear it more often then from a hard man. But you know he still love you. :)
-
Yes, he did many times and I cherrish those memories also. He has been gone almost 39 years now.
-
yes...not as often as my mother tells me but he does tell me
-
Yes, he did. I stopped caring.
-
I am 32 yrs old and my dad still tells me he loves me!
-
No, never..:(
-
Not that I remember but I always knew he loved me.
-
My heavenly Father continually tells me He loves me, and that is what is most important.
-
Yes, in a text message. And once over the phone. Sadly, it took him 40 years to say it.
-
Yes all the time.
-
+5. Sadly no, never, not once. He is dead now but all he ever told me was I was "nuttin"
-
no not one time in over 30 years. He's recently started saying it to me in the last year or so but it's too late now
-
Nope, the closest he ever got was apologizing for flying off the handle when we were kids.
-
everyday:)
-
Yes, He said I do too. Right before he died. He just could not say it on his own . So having that ability I would say it to him . I tried to just show love. I felt so loved by God, I forgave him for not showing me , and tried to show him I did love him. Kinda sad but writing about it now brings tears to my eyes. I just am glad God touched my heart to forgive him and just spread the love. Thanks for the memory.
-
yes and he always wanted what's best for me.
-
My Father said he loved me thousands and thousands of Times. My mother did'nt say it much growing up but over the last few years she has said it every time I see her.
-
no
-
Yes many times, that's what good fathers tell their sons and daughters.
-
Mostly with things he do to me, or advices he gives me. And sometimes he do say he loves me that's why he pritches to me...
-
Never...
-
ha, nope...
-
father's actually say that to their child??
-
My father did twice. He lied. My Grandfather did a lot. He told the truth. +5
