I'm surprised so many people really enjoy it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-179220 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 11:28:34 +0000 mamimami 179220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ktdid23: AND now I find out the song came out of the birth of two dead babies. This is too sad. This cements my opinion of this book as too sad for us. It's a sweet idea but I like to keep it light at storytime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-179160 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 10:59:50 +0000 runsyellowlites 179160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember when it was read for "storytime" on moms days when DS was in kindergarten.... Totally creeped me out! *shudder* lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-179146 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 10:51:16 +0000 Mrs. Pen 179146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HeatherlovesKenny: same here. for some reason I never thought that part was really all that weird either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-179145 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 10:50:48 +0000 Mrs. Pen 179145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loooooved it growing up and almost every time I read it, I cry. My mom cries everytime too! It's always been a favorite of ours. I will read it to LO. My mom quotes it all the time, "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be."</p> <p>I guess I never thought of it as creepy or depressing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-179140 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 10:47:25 +0000 ktdid23 179140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sloaneandpuffy: Agreed - apparently it's a hot seller in retirement communities: <a href="http://robertmunsch.com/book/love-you-forever" rel="nofollow">http://robertmunsch.com/book/love-you-forever</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-178925 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 07:44:28 +0000 mamimami 178925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DEPRESSING MUCH?? LOL I am surprised to hear people say it was one of their favorites when they were kids... I always thought this was one of those books that parents love and little kids hate. Give me a nice didactic Berenstain Bears any day of the week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-178862 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 01:07:53 +0000 SAHM0811 178862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have a copy... 'twas a gift.</p> <p>I have found that moms either find the book really sentimental or really creepy. I'm in the creepy camp! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-178855 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 00:08:44 +0000 HLK208 178855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love this book! I never thought it was creepy but maybe that's because my mom read it to me as a child. I always assumed the mother crawling in the window as an exaggeration just to keep the story going. But it never fails to make me cry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-178812 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 22:30:49 +0000 MaisyMay 178812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummm, I actually bought a copy to give to Hubs for Father's Day. I thought it would be a sweet start to our LO's library. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-178797 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 21:41:32 +0000 mrsdoily 178797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is one of my childhood favorites! I still have my copy from when I was little! I can't wait to read it to my someday LO's. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-178780 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 21:07:06 +0000 daniellemybelle 178780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went and listened to the audio and started boo-hooing. I'm clearly about to start my period, ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-178770 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 20:58:16 +0000 daniellemybelle 178770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, you guys, I'm bummed that some of you think it's creepy! My mom used to read this to us and I just loved it. I am choking up thinking of it now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-178749 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 20:30:24 +0000 chopsuey 178749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read it a couple of days ago and thought it was odd. :T I especially thought the part where the mom climbs in her grown son's window to rock him to sleep was really.. wtf? o.O<br /> HAHA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-178733 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 20:13:56 +0000 ktdid23 178733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read it once when I worked at a daycare and couldn't get over the last few pages (picture your daycare teacher sobbing at pick-up... awkward). It's way too sad for me. I got a copy of the book at my baby shower, but it's tucked away in the closet and I can't bring myself to read it to my daughter.</p> <p>Then I saw this on Pinterest - oh it's so sad: <a href="http://robertmunsch.com/book/love-you-forever" rel="nofollow">http://robertmunsch.com/book/love-you-forever</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-159025 Tue, 15 May 2012 11:45:29 +0000 googly-eyes 159025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's totally creepy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-158243 Mon, 14 May 2012 16:14:52 +0000 pelikila 158243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It actually creeps me out. My MIL gave it to me on the day of my son's birth and I read it and thought WTF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-158236 Mon, 14 May 2012 16:08:32 +0000 chopsuey 158236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never read the I love you forever books! Will have to check them out next time I'm at the bookstore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-158221 Mon, 14 May 2012 15:56:50 +0000 Chillybear 158221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little bro loved that book... the illustrations in it are really cute.</p> <p>I always loved the messy teenager page </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-158198 Mon, 14 May 2012 15:39:54 +0000 lemondrop 158198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't read that book, I start balling every time! It was a favorite that my MIL read to my husband when he was a kid, so she gave us his copy with the sweetest inscription at my shower- I broke down reading it. </p> <p>So he gets to read it to our son, I can't do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-158104 Mon, 14 May 2012 14:49:03 +0000 lilteacherbee 158104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH read it with his mom a lot when he was younger.</p> <p>When we were in kindergarten, all the classes did a "play" and each class was a "time period." DH's class portrayed the marriage scene (DH was the preacher) and my class all dressed up as old people. It was super cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-157979 Mon, 14 May 2012 13:27:10 +0000 PBandBaseball 157979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with @artbee. I've never read it but I sort of want to find it so I can read what it's all about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-157957 Mon, 14 May 2012 13:13:02 +0000 LuLu Mom 157957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha I love this book, yes a little creepy but a cute story none-the-less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-157947 Mon, 14 May 2012 13:06:59 +0000 heffalump 157947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't read it. Now I'm intrigued! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-157929 Mon, 14 May 2012 12:40:00 +0000 mrs. bird 157929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i read it for the first time when i was a teenager &amp; was babysitting &amp; the kiddo asked me to read it- i got all chocked up! so friggin sad! i agree that it's kinda odd, but it really does bring to light the circle of life &amp; the tradition of passing things on to our children &amp; caring for those who have cared for us. beautiful &amp; creepy, i can see both in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-157923 Mon, 14 May 2012 12:37:44 +0000 ohapostrophe 157923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't get past the creepy scene where the mom climbs in her son's window with a ladder. It starts off pretty cute though ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-157922 Mon, 14 May 2012 12:37:19 +0000 volksgirl64 157922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got it as a gift and DH &amp; I joked about how it's like the Mom is almost a stalker driving across town with a ladder strapped to her car and climbing in windows.<br /> Then we talked about how sad it is in the end. DD seems to like it so we still read it to her but its not our favorite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/love-you-forever-book#post-157912 Mon, 14 May 2012 12:28:31 +0000 Mrsbells 157912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HOw do you guys feel about this book. I first heard about this book from the FRIENDS episode where Joey did a dramatic reading of it for Rachel's baby and I always liked the part that repeats " I'll love you forever...like you for always... as long as I'm living my baby you'll be" But I'd never acttually read the whole book until I had my baby and starting seriously researching baby books and after reading the whole book online I realized the storyline is kinda odd..<br /> Do you guys like this book? </p>
