Is your mum affectionate towards you??

My mum is not affectionate AT ALL towards me. Shes raised me and my siblings alone and went through alot so that may be why she is so cold but idk. She does show that she cares in different ways like giving us money and cooking for us but thats about it. I think my other siblings have been affected by this because theyre not touchy feely at all (other than my 3 yr old sis) but im still affectionate and will be so affectionate to my future children

Yes, very affectionate. It drives me crazy because I hate hugging, kissing etc - it just feels like an unnecessary invasion of my personal space. I've felt this way from when I was quite young but my both my parents are still very tactile towards me.

Very rarely, it's even worse with my dad. I don't think I've ever had a proper conversation with any of them, what makes this whole situation worse is that I feel awkward when I'm in the car with my dad, it's dead silence. This is probably why I feel extremely uncomfortable with affection or any lovey dovey stuff. My sister lives away from home, and whenver she calls and says "I love you", it makes me cringe and I just reply with "you too" and quickly hang up. I can't say the word "love" it just never comes out. Haha this probably makes me sound like an Ice Queen.

No she was never very affectionate... I was the one who had to ask for hugs etc, and she always seemed to want to get on with whatever she was doing/like I was bothering her. I've always been very affectionate, always wanted cuddles. She never really said she loved me until I was in my late teens. I think maybe she just wasn't maternal in that way? She was a wonderful mum in that she provided for me, cooked for me, took care of me. But emotionally she was quite unavailable... she had her own issues I guess. It used to upset me a lot, particularly as I didn't know my dad as a child and had no siblings (though I now know I have two older half brothers, on my dad's side).

She's a lot different now though... maybe because I moved away so we don't get to see each other that much. She's now definitely more cuddly and tells me she loves me every time we speak, etc. I don't want to make it seem like I'm ungrateful to her because I don't think she was like that on purpose, and I love her to bits. But I do know that when I have kids, I'll definitely make sure they get lots of cuddles.

She probably doesnt mean it

my mum isn't affectionate at all, after walking out on my dad she looks at her kids like a burden, I hardly see her, shes too selfish, doesn't even cook or give me hugs or kisses, never tells me she loves me :l

My life as well. My mum is a nice person but I wish she would show me some more damned emotion. I also feel like it will have a huge detrimental effect on my future relationships because I'm not v touchy feely.
