its funny.. after reading this thread again i got to thinking.. My dad is my dad.. he raised me and he was a amazing dad i love him more than anything. But i recently met my biological father. And each time i see him he tells me he loves me.... is that even possible? to meet a child after 29 years and tell them u love them?

45Did Your Mom and Dad Tell You " I Love You " Growing Up - and as an Adult?
by flipper inthree simple but very powerful words .
my son and i working together last night on my jobs talked about this very subject.
i told him that although my witness mom was always affectionate , and tells me and my siblings she loves us , my elder father has only told me that he loves me once or twice , if that - my entire life.

barbie doll, Yes my mother had severe bipolar. I have my suspicions that it may have been more than that as well : ( she did not take medication when i was a kid So it was really bad.i remember my dad having her committed a couple of times it was so bad. She is on meds now and is a completely different person. I have a bit of resentment on that one. i wish she had just taken the meds when us kids were growing up.. it would have made a world of difference.. but i guess i should be happy that she takes it at all.

Discipline
by LouBelle ini'm not a parent myself, so i'm only speaking from my own personal experiences as a child and as an observer.. do you or don't you believe in discipline?
i believe in it - i'm not talking beating your kid to a pulp or any verbal abuse like that.
i do believe that a smack, grounding and an explanation of why is not a bad thing if the child has misbehaved (not for some trivial thing either).

i do not have children myself either, but i was a nanny for ten years. I found that every child is different and every child must be dealt with according to their needs. There were some kids that all i had to do was look at and they would stop doing whatever it was that hthey were doing. and there were other kids that i would have to pick up and put in Time out or as some of my kids would call it "the naughty corner" haha.. And there were other kids that i would have to take privileges away to get my point across. I do not believe in Spankings or beatings as a nanny that was not allowed anyways! but i do believe in discipline but my point of my rambleings is each child is different and you have to discipline or deal with them in different ways. I do believe that by being kind and showing the children in a loving way what is right and wrong, is the best way to deal with them. But its important to stand your ground as a caretaker and not allow them to get away with murder or let them do whatever they want to do otherwise they are the "boss" and not you.

when i was a kid i hated my name. but that is only because it was VERY common at the time. Everyone born between 1975-83 had my name!! growing up in school there were always 8 other girls in class with my name! As a adult i do like it. it fits me.. but i still know several other girls with the name!

My father was and is very affectionate with us all. Even now, I dont talk to him much but there is always I love you's every time i see him. He always hugged us and kissed us and told us how much he loved us and how special we were to him. My mother... well.. My mother had some mental illness issues. When she was good she was good, when she was bad she was bad. The bad moments we used to get Beat and nasty words would fling around all day long : (. But when she was good.. it was wonderful.. she would kiss us and hug us.. tell us she loved us.. she would try to do special things with us.. Unfortunately the bad moments outweighed the good. and most of my memories are bad of my mom. But i do treasure the good memorys i have.

I was lucky enough to have both grandmothers and a great grandmother growing up. I was closest to my maternal grandmother. My mom had some major mental illness and was unable to be the mother she would have liked to be. My grandmother was a huge part of our lives. She was and is my mom. I respect her and love her very much. Sadly she is very sick right now and we are uncertain as to what will happen : (. I also have amazing memories of my maternal great grandmother! She was amazing!! My favorite memory is of her fighting with her sister, my great great aunt about which child was cuter.. me or my brother. She always said i was gorgeous and wonderful and my great great aunt was partial to my brother. A bunch of crazy french ladys! they were all incredible...
