Kids need love. Am I correct? Im 15 and wondering...is it normal for a mother not to say "i Love you" to her child without the child saying it first? Every night before i go to bed i wait for the "i love you goodnight". it never comes. i have to physicaly say "love you mom". Then she will reply, "i love you too". i want her to say it first. how can i tell her that? any advice?

Just tell her directly hun, "Mom I'd really like it if you told me you loved me first. It would make me feel very special and cared for."

Does she do other things that make you think she doesn't care for you like a mother should? Because if it's just about saying that phrase, then you shouldn't be too worried. A lot of times people have very strong feelings but just don't realize that they should express them sometimes.

You fill that your mother not love you this not a true,our parents loves you very much if she not say love you then you not take a seriously,you tell your mother always at night say me love you good night,if you not tell your mother then how she not understand what you want,better tell things she understand and she love you very much,our parents always love you.

It's good at such a young age to wonder....what is love? What does it mean? How does love make you feel? Do you overlook instances where your mother shows you she loves you, or are you hung up on the words?

My ex's father never says it, probably said it to him twice his whole life. That really bothered my ex, but then I ask "Did you ever say it to him?" "No.", "Did you ever tell him you wondered why he never said it?" , "No". So why not? Some people do not express things verbally but express things in a more physical way.

The old saying "actions speak louder than words" is so true. If mom told you she loved you every day, but disregarded your feelings, neglected you, didn't care about your well being, etc........then would that really make you feel loved? The word means nothing without the action.

So are you getting the love, yet not seeing it because you're not hearing the word?

I think it's time you have a talk with mom.
