Yes and yes!!
My mother wasn't but in her defense she was a single parent and had to take care of business.
Yes, I feel blessed to have had that in a family.

Ahh I meant that as an answer, not a comment. I'm sorry I'm sure that comment sounded strange.

Hmmm they weren't. My mom and stepdad are both now though.
yes
Not really affectionate in I love you or hugs. In a way I think that contributes to me being a bit awkward with love. My ideas of love, the way I've seen it from childhood, are from movies. I can honestly say that I've probably really never loved someone romantically and if someone loved me.... Im not sure if I'd know how to take that. I just started becoming more of a hugger but I'm still a bit awkward in a bf/gf aspect. Having someone being affectionate to me is new still.
Yes, both of my parents and my sister
Uhhhhh, no? Hugs good bye, I love you'd hanging up the phone. My dad just started this in recent years. The siblings try to do this with each other ad we grow up, but it's a recent thing.
Sometimes
Dad yes, mom not at all. Ever.
Yes
Yes, I feel blessed to have/had that in my life. :)
Always there for us
Yeah for both. But also very strict too
We'll my mom passed away a few days ago I'm only 14. And my real dad abandoned me. And my step dad isn't very affectionate. So.. No
