Is it appropriate for a 10 year old girl to climb/sit on her dad? Other people?

Question

Is it still appropriate if the kid keeps wedging her legs between her dad's legs or whoever else she is sitting one?

Answer 1

That's fine unless you question the morals of the dad.

Answer 2

I'm 43 years old and I'd sit on my dad's lap now if I didn't think he'd push me away. Just be glad she has a father who isn't like that.

And don't let her climb people like a monkey! People don't like that.

Answer 3

I have a ten year old who does that not only to her dad but me as well. As far as other people; do you know these people? Are they relatives? Then I don't see a problem, but strangers, yes, a problem. As long as there is nothing sexual about it, I really don't see a problem. This is just my opinion though. If it bothers you then maybe you should sit down and talk with her.

Answer 4

Daddy's lap is perfectly fine in 99% of situations.  Unless it is suspect there is more to it then it is fine.  It is the daddy's little girl thing going on and no big deal just like little boys always wanting to sit on mommy and daddy's lap yes even at 10 years old sometimes.  As for others I would say family is ok but not strangers.

Answer 5

I'm 18 in two weeks and I still sit on my daddy's lap (and my mum's) :) Why shouldn't I? Except he complains that I'm too heavy and starts going on about when I was little and he used to bounce me up and down.

I really doubt the girl (your daughter?) you're talking about sees anything in what she's doing, she's only 10. I'm an adult and I still only see myself as sitting on my dad's knee, it would freak me out if I thought about it as anything else.

Answer 6

Why wouldn't it be appropriate? Why would there be a problem with a girl sitting on her daddys lap? I don't see it.

As for other people, if you mean relatives, sure it is appropriate. Strangers however, i wouldn't think so.  

Answer 7

im 25 and sometimes i still like a cuddle on the sofa from my daddy!

Answer 8

Yes its appropriate. but on others like strangers? um yeah thats weird

Answer 9

climb? you mean like a monkey? no but sitting on him is fine

Answer 10

yeah

Answer 11

Sure it is. My daughter is also ten and she doesn't it frequently. She is daddy's little girl. I set on my dad's lap when I was ten also.

Answer 12

yeah

def

Answer 13

She shouldn't be sitting on anyone and shouldn't be ALLOWED to climb on people either.

Answer 14

Yes.

My sister's fourteen and she sits on my dad's lap. Sometimes I still sit on my dad's lap when the mood takes me and I'm twenty.

What on earth could be wrong with someone sitting on someone else's lap?

IMO it takes someone very weird to even think it wasn't normal...

Answer 15

well in myt opinion it is... i am 15 and i still have wressles with my dad and use him as a climbing post ect....

just as long as he doesnt get sexual ect stuff... you know what i mean.... :)

ps im a girl too...
