Did your parents hug you as a child?

[sommap]

No.  My mother was a very cold person.  I think she tried, but didn't succeed.  I made sure my kids got lots of hugs and kisses and were told they were loved as they were growing up.

Yes, my parents hugged us all the time, but they never said the words, I Love You, but they did show it my taking care of our every need.  Yes we were hugged.

My parents were the greatest parents ever.  They still are.  They gave tons of hugs and praise, and a good swift kick in the butt when I needed it

[BizELady]

Yes my parents hugged me all the time.

I really can't remember my parents hugging me as a chid but I knew they loved me very much and still do. But I sure thy did I just don't remember.

I don’t recall it either. I think I had while I was a baby. I remember seeing old photos of my mother holding me high and close to her on many occasions. Growing up my parents never showed any physical affection other than to feed, bathe me, and provide basic necessities. I didn’t mind at all because I knew my parents loved me very much without being physically demonstrative; it’s just not part of their cultural practice.

Didnt get hugged too many times as a child, but its more of a cultural thing. I'm from Bangladesh. Never doubted that my parents love me with all their hearts, though.

Hugging was never part of the family. It was done just about as much as saying 'I love you'. These things just didn't exist.

We were just suppose to know it was there. Honestly, I don't think my siblings looked for it either, and why would they? They were too busy living their lives - the life of friends, that is. We weren't together much, everyone did their own thing. I am the last child of six. I never had a social life and again, since my parents weren't about the affection, I never received anything personally. I sure did try, though!

Because of such upbringings, I was one with depression. I didn't know how to go about life. It was awful, almost as horrible as my attempts for attention that failed. Miserably.

Anyway, depressing as it sounds, it's all in the past. I'm 23 years old now. I'm much better now and actually, my mother and I say 'I love you' a million times. Our relationship is better, closer. Even my dad may blurt it out every now and far-away then. But still, it counts. I suppose someone just needed to break the 'routine'. The basic way that we were raised on. Grow up a bit and start expressing before it's too late.
