My mom used to read this to me all the time when I was a kid still probably around the house somewhere
SgtThunderfistMD
My son is 8 months old. I never in a million years thought I could love something so much.
jester666
this book is creepy as fuck. Old lady breaking into her full grown son's house, watching him sleep and shit.
YouThoughtItWasAnUsernameButItWasMeDio
Fuck.... My parents stopped reading it to me after the first time. They just threw it to me and I read it myself.
skelitor120
I hadn't spoken to my mother for a whole year when I saw this in the Target I worked at. Literally cried at work and called her on break.
HotSauce2niteRingoFire2moro
child craps over mom's tireless love. mom creeps back into adult son's room and cuddles him.
idiosamatik
I did cry when I read it to my daughter but that part was admittedly a little strange.
lp12345
Polar Express did this to me. I had never read it before, and tried to read it to my son. Had to just flip through the last several pages.
Antler030
Get used to it. I cry like a bitch over this kinda stuff all the time with my kiddos
smellslikeflowers
When I bought "If I Could Keep You Little" I stood in the aisle and bawled like a baby after I read it. Still do when I read it to the 4yo.
ST3RBEN
I too love my shitter.
Th3Duder
My mom can’t even look at this book with out crying
scooterneverhurtnobody
Don't know this one. But try reading it in your best Anthony Hopkins impersonation. Then try Scooby-Doo. See if either help you.
DownVotedAllTheWay
We love this book for our kids, but when the mom crawls in the bedroom things just kinda get weird.
TunaCone
That’s what I’m saying! It goes to Creepyville very quickly!
RobertGrubb
What's this about? Never heard of it.
Sylviastout
I still haven't been able to read this to my kid, who's 11. I had her finish reading The Giving Tree cuz my eyes were so blurred from tears.
keyonne
Oh! The giving tree is my favorite!
Sylviastout
It's such a sweet message *sniff sniff*
ViralCosmos1
It used to make me cry as a kid too. My grandma raised me and is more my mother than my grandma. She gave me the book. I cry reading to kids
rive9154
My grandma would read this to my sister and I so once she passed we got matching tattoos “I’ll love you forever” “I’ll like you for always”
Somethingsomthingdarkseid
I'll love you forever. I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be.

I thought no one's gonna post Joey!!! Niceeee
Jonofthejungle
Hahaha I remember my mom reading that to me and crying, I'm sure I'd do the same if I picked it up again
AbrasiveSasquatch
Yup, exact same. Every single time she read it.
Benegesseritwitch75
I read it to my daughter when she was little & again when she was a teen and going through depression gave her a necklace with the words 1/2
Benegesseritwitch75
2/2, just wrapped that same book for her for Christmas for the grandbabies
TunaCone
I find the book creepy! I know, I know, I’m a monster. My mom tells me that every day.
omgwtfhuh
We were given a copy of this. Never read it to the kids. I agree - creepy.
TunaCone
Having your obsessive mother crawl through your window at night as a grown-ass adult to invade your space isn’t cute!
silentsuspekts87
This story book was my childhood dream. In reality Asian parents will not tolerate that's shit. Hence it was only a dream.
muddy5
What?! I’m asian and my mom was totally like this. She used to wake me up with hugging me like that and singing me songs for good 10 min.
AskBobLoblaw
Maybe the type of asian matters? Lol
GarytheGrammarCactus
Ugly cried reading it in the store. I have no children, and my mom is still alive. It’s just amazingly heart wrenching.
Waitinglikeastalkingbutler
Guess How Much I Love You will always be the book that reminds me of my kids when they were little.
BrittaIsTheWorst
Isn't this the book Joey reads on Emma's first birthday on FRIENDS?
staceec

umbrellamaker
Oh is this what we're doing today? Crying?
BananaParagon
Yes. A good cry.
Salpinus
Ok, nobody explains what this one's about. Everybody's just "I'm howling/crying each time". Whyyyy?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I have never head of this book and need some context.
Salpinus
Exactly!
SOURCECODE01
The book details a mother caring for her child, through his temper tantrums, ect., Until he's a grown man, and one night he comes back 1/2
SOURCECODE01
As a grown man when she is sick and old and almost gone, and he takes her into his arms and repeats the rhyme she always used to sing 2/2.
SOURCECODE01
" I'll love you forever, I'll love you for always, as long as you're living, my baby/mommy you'll be." (She says baby, he says mommy)
therandombagofmeat
I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always forever my baby you will be. Something like that. It has been a few years since I read it.
drbloodbathmc

TempusFugitive
Mostly the second. I never liked this one as a kid, cause it's creepy af
Catsarealiens
TOTALLY agree!
Fatdicksinmybutt
As someone who hasn’t read it, what makes it creepy?
skelitor120
The story tells the mom using a ladder to sneak into his house when he's grown, but it's just a cute way of expressing that she'll--
skelitor120
-- love him no matter his age or how separated he is and people here are taking a children's book literally lol
capughe
Won't be so cute when your mom climbs in your window while you're balls deep in your lady.
