Inspired by Facebook - You're in the middle of a binge watching session when your significant other falls asleep for 2 hours, and misses 6 episodes. Does the person who stayed up have to rewatch those episodes with the person who fell asleep?
That’s nice. I’m glad you can give the hugs to people. I’m sure they appreciate it.
I have a little brother, and I helped raise him. I think you can show affection and love beyond hugs. We’re still very close despite not being huggers. I’m just not really wired that way- people used to try to give me hugs all the time. I remember being 4 and not liking being forced to hug.
Having a mother that worked in law enforcement, I work up in the mornings, fed him, potty trained, help teach him things, took him to parties, school, etc. I love that kid to death, and was able to really help him grow. I was really there from jump, so I’d say I have an idea what it’s like to raise a kid. It was a big burden at times, but it’s cool to see how he’s goes through life. Despite not giving hugs, I tried to show him love and that someone was there for them. I saw so many kids I taught that raised their brothers and sisters. It’s a big responsibility regardless who gave birth to the kid.
I understand what you’re saying. I do. I just think it’s different when you hold them from the moment their born. Children cling to you, need to be held, reassured.
Yeah, i understand a connection. There are so many ways people become parents. I wouldn’t minimize the experiences of others. I’m thinking of people who adopt; they might not have that same experience, but no doubt, raised that kid.
Again, I don’t think hugging is the only way to give assurance. I think it’s good to let the kid show you what they need. They can be vocal when given the change.
I mean no disrespect. I just know how clingy and needy newborns are.
I’ve worked in Daycares, nannied and raised my own. There are children that cling to your legs and follow you everywhere and cry outside the bathroom waiting for you.
