Do you tell your parents you love them?

You could be explaining my father. After surviving his stroke he is much more sensitive man.

I’m surprised you have parents. Never really thought you were a real person.

No. It's rather silly that we don't we just... don't. Can't explain or defend it.

I should say it more with the kids. It's awkward because of how I was raised. I do at least have little goodnight songs for each of them every night, so it's a step in the right direction.

I can't. I transed-out and got a vasectomy.

As long as you only play intermural YMCA basketball on Tuesday nights, will I be OK with this.

To give @Doodads and Hoohah credit I have started to stay it everytime to those I do (as much as possible), regardless if they say it back.

^^^^^^Me and all the boys in my life and tell all the no pic ladies love them except my youngest daughter that’s a real pain in the a$$. Don’t get along real well and leave it to the wife to do that stuff. Not a fan of people I bend over backwards for then get crapped on.

Your kids are young enough that you sing them a song at bedtime?

Dude, tell them you love them TONIGHT.

The longer you wait the harder it will be.

NOW is the perfect time to start.

Just because you were raised without it being said much, doesn't mean you have to raise your kids the same.
