How often do you say "I love you"?

• I say "I love you" so much more than I used to: I say "I love you to my parents" at least twice a day, because they're being great to me, I say "I love you" to my wife everytime I get the chance, and I say "I love you" to my son, even though he can't hear me. So, I basically say "I love you" twenty or more times a day. How many times do you say "I love you", to whomever it may be? The reason I ask is because it seems as though a lot of teenagers, as far as I have noticed, don't say "I love you" to their parents as much as they should. I guess they don't really appreciate all their parents have done for them. =/

• Answer:

  I'm not like most teenagers lol, I tell my mom every day that I love her. I tell her this throughout the day, I say it way more then once! She lives with me( yeah not the typical teen with baby living with mom, mom lives with us lol) so I get to tell her a lot more then before she had to move in. Before I moved out of her house and was still a minor, I told her I loved her more then my other siblings( some older, one younger) did. She didn't have to say "I love you" to get a "i love you too" from me, which made her really happy. I did appreciate my mom and knew how great I was to have a mom like her. I don't think my younger sister realizes that yet, but one day, maybe when she has children of her own, maybe she'll realize it then. My father is dead so I can't tell him. I tell my baby girl every time I see her, she's still in the NICU. I tell her as I come in and as I leave. I tell her while I changed her diaper( its amazing, I can't wait to get to hold my baby, I've hold other babies..but not my own). I usually see her about 3x a week, on my boyfriends days off. It's hard to be away from her but she's in the best place and doing great there. I can't wait to hold her and wait til she's deemed ready to come home with mommy and daddy. Lastly, I love my boyfriend. We've been together since 2007, living together since 2008. He's amazing and so much more. I tell him I love you countless times throughout the day. Sometimes I randomly text him those three little words and sometimes he surprises me with them in a little note, text message or just simply calling me and saying them. He's an amazing guy and I feel so lucky and fortunate that I have him. I have to say, I've been blessed with people that love me and people that I love. My boyfriend's family, they are amazing and I truely love his parents. His mom already calls me her daughter in law( talk of marriage has been talked lol) and I know his parents love me, they tell me and honestly I love them too. The early morning that my daughter was born, having my mom, his parents and my boyfriend there made me realize how lucky I am to have such a strong support group and group that truly cares for me and our baby. I say " I love you" way more then 20x a day...though I don't keep count.
