To hate the phrase love you to the moon and back?

[hickorydickorynurseryrhyme]

Just find it irritating

I think it's so hard to express love without resorting to cliché.

I think that's it Jonesy, it's because it's become so popular that everyone is saying it on fb and things and I'm justlike not again!

I hate this phrase with a passion OP, YADNBU.

It could of course have something to do with the fact that my STBEx and his 18 year old BOTS used it in their declarations of lust love to each other.

It doesn't help that it's feckin everywhere at the moment.

My son got me a Christmas present with this on and it is priceless to me. YABU.

Luchi that is just lovely. Don't let these cynical fuckers get you down.

See multivac I don't like that poem either - must be a bitter person. Causing children around the world to feel unloved!
Op I agree I hate it. Probably because mil (who I do get on with) uses it ALL the time and makes all the grandchildren say it back. It just grates on me for unknown reasons
Maybe because I used to read little nut brown hate to ds1 even before he was born to make a special book then mil came and made the phrase 'her' thing in a bigger and louder way. So maybe not unknown reason after all !

Horribly twee. Particularly when posted on Facebook at every opportunity. Referring to people who don't even have a Facebook account.

Also i did try to read that hare book to my ds but he was never fussed about that one so it's just gone in the charity bag

It was my dd favourite story when she was little we had to read it every night and sometimes several times a day too x she always told me she loves me to the moon and back and all the way round the stars. She still tells me every night when she goes to bed and texts me it on the way to school. The rest of time she hates me I'm sure!

For Xmas she bought us a moon and star pandora charm each.

I think any genuine expression of love is beautiful.
Debbi Gliori's book No Matter What has the line "Love ,like Starlight, never dies."
That might seem cliched and ,indeed, love can die sometimes but it is still a sentiment to be encouraged in our beloved children so they can feel safe and secure in our love.
My adult dd bought me a little pewter plaque which says 'Love you to the moon and back' and I was very touched.

It would be very odd if everyone in the world did. I notice, though, that you are able to say you don't like it, without suggesting that someone else liking it is twattish, unimaginative, and makes you "vom in your mouth".

D'you see?

I love my kids almost as much as Peter Andre loves his? archedbrowse For some reason he popped up in my Twitter feed today. His profile starts * "Loving dad" as opposed to the more accurate "Shit dad who pimps out his kids to make a living". He would now have us believe that he suffers from social anxiety.

I'm just jealous of all of you whose DC are telling you that they love you

Yesterday I asked DD(who's 4) if she loved Daddy and she said "Yeah. I don't like Mummy"

We say 'love you more than all
The stars in the sky and all the fishes in the sea' don't care if anyone hates it, we like it so use it.

YANBU

I can't stand it either!!! Vomitous! In fact, I mentioned it the other day to someone when I saw it printed on a baby grow. Ick!

In this house you are likely to be told, "Love you so, hideous bumface". Works for us.

And my DC often say "Love you to Voyager and back", which I like as the distance is getting larger all the time.

Soppy old bugger, me.

I've been thinking about this again and concluded that what bothers me most about these shit one liner declarations of love is there is no real thought by the person saying it.

The other issue I have with them though is the impulsive need by the person using such shit to put it in writing social media thereby inflicting it on me.

"Nut brown hate". Best autocorrect ever

None of these phrases bother me and I am the most irritable person in the world. Because it seems churlish to hate on people loving each other

Bit out of practice, agreed, hate is a strong word probably not the best choice but I still find it annoying

Boak, and the'love you lots like jelly tots' ffs.

I hate it too. There is no amount you love person. So you either love them or not but to put distance its just seem false. I hate it with passion. Also how many people have been to moon and back to actually know thats how much they love? I hate any prescriptive descriptions of love. Isnt I love you enough already?

In the grand scheme of these, the moon isn't even that far away.

Why can people love you to Uranus and back? Now, that's real love!

We read Guess How Much I Love You to DD (17 months) nearly every night as her bedtime story. Her and OH say 'I love you to the moon and back' to each other (well she says a few of the words and snuggles him) and it absolutely melts me. I got him a little key ring with it on for Father Day from her, engraved with their initials because it means something special to them. He loved it.

But I also agree that Daddy Nutbrown Hare is a bit of a bloody show off, always going one better and if OH posted something like that about me on social media I'd cringe. He just wouldn't! He tells me he loves me, face to face!

I like this one
