My son was leaving for work today and I said to him "I love you" he said, "Ma I dont say things like that" I said why not ?
he said "i'm not mushy like that " he is 39, guys do you tell your Mom you love her ?

My guys are around the same age and on the hone or when they are leaving they always say something, maybe just love ya, but something.  So it is not all guys.

Oh my son will say i'm leaving now bye. He's a police officer so I ALWAYS want MY last words as "I love you" God forbid if something happened

I have one son who says it routinely and the other one says it reluctantly, but I take what I can get. I love 'em both so much it's ridiculous. I am blessed to have two wonderful sons.

I have a wonderful daughter too, but this post is "a guy thing" post, and I didn't want to leave her out when talking about wonderful children.

I'm glad you included your daughter. My daughter tells me as well. My kids are great but both coming from the same parent I just dont get why my daughter says it often but my son wont. He emailed me once and said "I love you Mom but dont expect to hear it in person" I just dont get it

My son who is 13 no longer says I love you as well, starting a couple of years ago. I miss that.

My son don't tell me he loves me but he does tell me I am pretty.
