Do your parents compliment you?

One girl on my Facebook gets comments from her Dad usually on her pictures.. Complimenting how she looks etc. I find it slightly creepy probably because mine never compliment me LOL. It's the same with nearly most of my relatives and friends etc.

I'm Sikh girl with Indian parents, they rarely ever compliment me. If you watch iisuperwomanii (parent) videos you'll understand 😂

No lol, all I do is get criticised by my mum, I don't mind too much since I know she just wants the best for me. While my father doesn't critic me like mum does, I don't exactly get compliments from him either :biggrin:
Nah my parents insult me at least 3 or 4 times a day, no compliments lmao

My mum compliments me when I put a lot of effort into something, but not for what I achieve. Like, she will say "well done for working so hard for your exams" instead of "well done for getting an A". I think that's really nice.

Me too :redface: I can't eat anything without my mum telling me I'm gonna get diabetes & she never forgets to tell me how lazy I am :frown:
I get compliments but I also get insulted all the time.

Join the club.. 😃
the closest to a compliment I've come is "well, at least you've got no friends to annoy with your prescence"

LOL neither of my parents compliment me. I passed first year of uni, they were like "ok good". I just find it creepy the things he comments on his daughters pictures, it's not occasional either. EVERY picture.

Or maybe I'm just destined to be unloved.. 😂

I agree, I'm used to it. I love my parents with all my heart, they just express their love differently I guess.

I guess parents have different ways to express their love.
