I Love you! Mom
When was the last time you said, “I love you mom? It’s a striking question people don’t really think about. For some, saying “I love you mom” comes as naturaly as saying it on the phone before hanging up or through a text message.
“My mom lives in a different city, so when I miss her I send her a text saying ‘I love you,” said Anika, who is a stylist. There are even some like Miel Abong, a fresh grad, who says it so often that sometimes she’s not aware that she just said it. “It’s like you take it for granted,” she said.
Females, however, are typically perceived to show affection more easily than males. Several male young adults have said that they don’t say it because they don’t feel comfortable. “It’s cheesy,” they say.
Not all male young adults, however, are like that. In spite of being in their mid-twenties and working the corporate daily grind, there are working account executives that take the time to say “I love you, mom” before heading to bed.

“I’m very close to my mom,” said one advertising account executive. “Saying ‘I love you’ before going to sleep is something that I have done since I was younger, and continues to be something I do today.”
