Did your parents ever say they were proud of you

Yes, when I passed my 11+ and was bought the bike of the moment, a Pink Witch on which I cycled to school every day.
I was a happy loved and well cared for child.

Not that I remember.
I would say my childhood was happy, always clean well fed and tucked in and kissed goodnight by mum. Dad would hug me but I don't remember either of them saying they were proud of me or that they loved me but I felt loved.
They never helped with homework and I don't remember doing things as a family like playing board games except at Chmas.

Although I had strict parents, especially my dad, I had a very happy childhood, my dad wasn’t one for giving cuddles, but I knew I was loved, and was told few times, they were proud of me, I knew what I could get away with and what I couldn’t though, just one look from my dad said it all,
