Does this make my family weird?

Question

I hav never heard the words "i Love you" come out of any1 mouths. were a family of 10. and the second to last born and im 16 years old. ive never ever heard my parent say it to any1 or my borthers or sisters say it to any1 (in the family). Never in my life.

I don't really want to start saying it, cuz it wud be awkward now. But Is this weird?

Is this unusual? Do you have a family like this?

Answer 1

I'm not knocking your family, but that is the craziest thing I've ever heard.  I couldn't imagine not telling my son or anyone in my family that I love them.  I wonder what your family would do if you did say it?  Maybe just try saying it to your parents alone first and see what they do (your siblings may react a little immature).  Do you all show your love in other ways, though?  I guess actions speak louder than words, right?  I've never heard of this, but Good Luck.

Answer 2

No, my own family growing up said it constantly, and my husband and I and the girls all say probably 15 times a day.

Just say it. The only thing they can say is "I love you," back.

Answer 3

My family always says I love you to each other. But I have a friend (she's an only child) and she never says I love you to her parents and they never say it to her. I find it quite odd. She can only remember one time in her life when her mom told her she loved her. She was very little. I tried to convince her to say it to her mom once, but she was absolutely terrified to. I think it's sad.

Answer 4

Whether something is odd or not is subjective but it doesn't matter if you say it or not as long as you express it through other means such as affectionate acts.

Answer 5

its hard to say but that is unusual because my mom and my dad and my friends and all my famillys moms and dads say i love you all the time but a suggestion is to say i love you to your mom and dad if they say i love you to good if they continue saying it your ok but if they say ok or somthing like rude that is bad... trust me i know i get in iss oss all the time i have been hated a few times i have been used and a lot. and i kinda feel sorry for you.

Answer 6

Well my family says i love you all the time but maybe in your family you all just understand that you love each other and don't feel the need to verbally state it...hope that makes since!

Answer 7

No, my family is not like this. We say I love you three to four times daily, but we are a small family.

Answer 8

Nope! I'm a family of 7 kids (oldest) and we always say "I love you." but it doesn't make you guys weird. Just not a family to show affection I guess.

Answer 9

Words dont say 'I love you', actions do. My grandma taught me that.

Answer 10

in my family we always say i love you.

in my sisters boyfriends family, they always say i love you.

however, my boyfriends family doesn't.

so your not weird.

sadly, maybe you guys just lack a connection

i like to say "i love you" because you never know what happens in life, and i have heard so many stories where people regret not saying it.

Answer 11

haha yea. my family is kind of like this. we all no we love each other.  under some situations, we say that we care about each other. when my parents lecture me they tell me that the love me and then tell me to take care.  we dont hug or anything every day, but we do under some situations we do like our birthdays, special events, 2-3 days that i have not seen them.  we still hug but not much.  but thats not weird at all.  

its kind of unsual.  

if you want to be like the rest, you should atleast give your parents  a hug.  atleast let them know that you care about them by protecting them. helping them out and making sure you are all alright.

Answer 12

a bit unusual... WE are a family of 6 (we have 4 kids) and I think I tell my husband and kids I love them about 10 times a day each. I even talk to grandmother and tell her I love her everyday. I still tell my brother and sister I love them.

I find it odd for parents not to say it to their children.  

Answer 13

First of all, I cannot imagine a family that would never say they love each other.  I have a suggestion- why don't you try saying it. Don't feel strange, maybe you will be the one that begins something wonderful.   However, I must say this, I pray that your family shows each other that they love each other, that is far more important then just saying it.  Good luck.

Answer 14

nope...my family is a family of 8 and we say i love you after we get off the phone with eachother, before we go to bed and when we leave in the morning...

Don't be stubborn, if you feel like saying it to one of your siblings or even your parents SAY IT! you will regret it if you never tell them how much they mean to you!

be the one to break the chain, it will feel akward because as you said, no one has said it before, but at least the akwardness will go away, and the feeling you brought that person from telling them those 3 words will last forever...give it a try! you wont regret it!
