As a child I didn’t want hugs goodnight but handshakes good night.

Quite civilized of me, if I do say so myself.

I didn’t want to be bothered at all.

Me: I’m going to bed.
Mom: I’ll come tuck you in.
Me: No. Don’t. My room is private.
Mom: Okay. But that’s my room. I pay the bills.
ME: Eye roll. Door slam.

I don't think mine does hugs either, but I'm not going to ask because I'm sure I'd take it personally if he turned me down. But I also hate my body almost to a pathological extent and I don't think I could stand him hugging me anyway. I would take a handshake though. But I'm feeling extremely touch deprived lately and I would probably cry.

Son shook hands with his dad the other night and h was absolutely amazed at what a strong handshake the boy has. He's so not a boy anymore though.... getting close to 21 (like 4 months away).

How many twins do you have? Maybe you’re actually the Dionne quintuplets.

I knew you’d say that!

I do love a woman who knows who the Dionnes were.

ETA: two of them are still alive.

Sometimes I will ask my D for a hug goodnight, and her reply is, "Bye Mom!" Though I will sometimes get a mumbled "I love you too" if I say "I love you."

Jersey 4 · Jun 25, 2019 at 03:14 PM

Not to change the subject. But I just wanted to share that my puppy I got back in December (some of you may vaguely recall his photo I posted with the big floppy ears). Well he grew into those ears and as of today he weighs 80lbs.
Apparently I adopted a horse and not a dog.

She sounds like a typical kid to me.

When i was a child, only my father was home at night, and after a certain age i had to tuck myself in, even though i asked.

Then i would wake up when my mother came home from work and i would ask for a kiss, and she would just yell at me from the hallway, not even the bedroom door, to go to sleep. She never came in.

I wonder how long before i stopped asking. And where they got their parenting advice from, if anywhere. Just each other? And how did that conversation go, exactly? Because i pretty much believed they never talked to each other about me, because i never saw them, which now i realize wasnt true.
