How often do you hug and kiss your children?

Question

How many times a day? How many times do you tell them you love them? And for those with teen children, do you still give them hugs and kisses everyday?

Answer 1

I hug all of my children everyday at least once  usually more for the younger ones.  I tell them all I love them ever day, too.  The teen boys don't relay want my kiss, although I do sneak one on their cheek every once in a while!  But the hugs are freely given at my house.

Answer 2

multiple times a day

Answer 3

Daily and often.  Even when they are teenagers I will tell them I love them and hug them daily.

Answer 7

Answer 8

I have a 3 year old daughter and We hug about twenty times a day and I tell her I love her about the same, twenty times a day or so..and than my daughter looks at me and says `` emma love mommy `` and that just melts my heart.

Answer 9

I'm fifteen and I never have and never will stop hugging and kissing my mom. Why should I have to? Am I, as a teen supposed to hate her and be too embarassed to be seen with her? Well then I guess I'm going against the rules because I love my mom, we have a fun time, she's a kick *** mother. In fact she's the best on this planet. She has my back, I have hers. I still give my mom a nice big hug and a little peck on the cheek.

Answer 10

At 3 years old, I tell my son all the time how much I love him and how proud I am of him. And I give him hugs and kisses all the time. As a kid I recall my mom being the same-I even told her once as a teen when she told me she loved me while we were out running errands "I know that mom you tell me all the time ok". I felt bad after I said it-I had lots of freinds in HS who did dumb stuff to get the attention of their parents. I never did because I already knew how my paretn's felt. And when he is bad I do say that I do not like that behavior, I never say anything like mom doesn't like you or you are bad.

Answer 11

Everytime my 8 and 9 year old son's walk in the room, I grab them and squeeze them and they laugh and run from me so it is a game to them but I am getting my hugs in.  I have a 15 year old son and when he walks in the room, I attempt to grab him also, he laughs and says in his deepened voice, "what's up mom" gives me a cool hand shake and then  he lets me hug him but it has to be done in a "cool" way and not in public. lol

Answer 12

My son is a teenager but luckily for me, is still very cuddly and loves being kissed, also kisses me back always:) He was like that right from the start, but hasn't lost it once he entered puberty. I'm so grateful for this, as I myself was in my mother's lap, (with my face stuck to hers, while she rocked me and sang to me) until the day she died. I believe in this as the best medicine and telling/being told that we're loved is very important to me.

I was once on a bus stop, kissing my son and hugging him, when an elderly woman who was standing nearby approached us and said 'Do it as much as you can while he's still with you, mine has left across the ocean and I feel I never had enough of him.'

But I've also had numerous people, including some family members, who often objected to this behaviour when displayed and told me it's a sure way to spoil him. Personally, I don't think so, but I guess we still have to wait&see if there's any truth in it.

Answer 13

OMG! Like a MILLION times a day! I am hugging and kissing my 2yr old right now as I am reading this! I hug and kiss them so much that they literally run from me!!!! I love it though and I know that they do too cause then if I ever stop kissing them so much then they come and start begging for hugs and kisses...they even come up to me out of the blue and kiss me when I am not expecting it....the other day I was laying on the couch and my daughter kissed my foot...and once when I was sleeping my son came up to me and kissed my forehead....it is so sweet...I hope they are like this as teenagers!

Answer 19

i'm 20. i wasn't hugged/kissed very often and i wish i would've been. now i'm kind of stand offish.. but i try to be physical with some of my friends hug-wise.. i think everyone needs hugs.. my parents are divorced and the only time i get hugs now is when i'm leaving my dad's house and we're saying goodbye. hugs shouldn't mean goodbye. they should mean i love you..

Answer 23

More times than they sometimes care to be hugged and kissed! And definitely several times a day I tell them I love them. They are 6 and 4 years old. I have gotten to promise that they will still let me hug and kiss them when they are grown up, but I guess that remains to be seen... :-)
