Since I got here I got used to those I love you's coz my husband says it's a must. He wonders why I don't say I love you to my family in Cebu, I told him we're just not used to it. I agree with Luthienne kewaw tungod wala naanad. We were not taught to say those words at home. But i told my husband, love is not only expressed by those words. There's care, thoughtfulness... and a lot of things. I told him that they know I love them coz I'm always thoughtful.

But here, I say I love you to my babies all the time. In fact, my 21-month old leah can now say, Avu too mommy. Sometimes I ask her, do you love your mommy and she would say "NO!" hahaha ahaks but oftentimes she would say "avu mommy" and I'd say "i love you too leah" and she would say back "avu too mommy". /me sings...

heaven, i'm in heaven.....

I always see to it that we'd say "I love you" to each other (me and my son) after every conversation that we have online before we say our "Goodbyes and Goodnights".

I'm not used to those words growing up in my family but I see the need for it. all families should practice it if they want. that's why we're now practicing it. sounds "corny" but I don't care, it's our life not everyone else's..

Omad that is very nice. If you have that loving atmosphere at home it projects what you are and your children on the outside. Remember Children Learn What They Live We should never take the ones we love for granted. Nice going for you keep it up.

^^ thanks for the compliment and let me express some more insights: even if we as a family (when I was growing up) never said those words, we showed it through actions. it's a matter of putting those words into action, doing what you're saying. it'd be ironic if you'd always say 'I love you" and on the same note you're always fighting with your siblings, parents and your children. the "doing it" part is the most important aspect of it all.

when you say "I love you", mean it. when you say "I love you" do it and let them feel the true meaning of the word. don't just say those words just for the heck of it..

I agree sab sa imo. Do you know that saying I Love You is the most abused 3 words you can say. Oftentimes we say them without thinking if we really mean it or not.

those three words are very important and powerful.

my wife and i say those words everyday and to our kids.

maau na sya... makahatag bitaw ug maau nga atmosphere sa balay....

but different to my parents, kay wa man ko kaanad. it's hard to say it directly though i have said it to them once or twice in my lifetime.

It makes a wonderful difference when you say I love you often enough and that is saying it with sincerity cause what if for example as you go on with your day, something happens to you or your loved-ones during the course of your normal day then at least you have told them how much they mean to you, di ba? oftentimes we take those little gestures for granted but we really should practice it everyday. I know i do with me and my kids. It just makes you feel better inside
