Do you get a hug from your teen in the morning before they leave for school?

[Purplturpl]

I always have , but one seems a little quicker to rush out without a hug.

i like to keep up the hug every now and then otherwise it becomes awkward to ever hug each other. But maybe they just out grow hugs?

I have boys if that makes any difference to the question

Not in the mornings no, we communicate through grunts at that time. I have all boys though and they all still hug me, aged mid teens to early 20s

No. I have never set up obligatory hugs. Hugs should be spontaneous and mutual. It is only awkward when you are setting up expectations to hug every day at a set time.

I think hugs should be spontaneous.

It depends whether he’s Jekyll or Hyde that day.

Dear god no.

No, mine never have, we're not a particularly huggy family.

Boys grow out of it, 13, 14.. daughters don't, i still get a hug from mine when she leaves for work at 19.

While I love hugs ds absolutely hates them so no chance!

Dd14 always gives me a hug when she leaves and waves as she walking up the road 🥰

Ds17 I shout love you . And he shouts back gaaaaaaaaaay.

I’m cabin crew I often not hear when my 16yr old daughter goes to school, we hug every time I leave for work when she’s up or when I’m here and she goes to school. Sons aged 6 and 8 always needs a goodbye hug when I’m around

I still get hugs from my 15yo DS. I don't push it though, he gets a hug if he wants one. Which is still every day 🙂

My son is 25 and still hugs and/or gives me a kiss every day. He also tells me he loves me regularly. He’s such a lovely boy.

My primary aged children are very different with their hugs

DS in year 5 has always loved giving and receiving hugs from me & DH

Whereas DD in year 1 generally dislikes hugs and will only occasionally partake, the rest of time involves pushing/shoving us away!

My boy is much more of a hugger than my girl, will be interesting to see how things change as they get older!

15 year old.

Usually, but if she's messaging her friend and friend is outside (you know, like right now!!) she'll head out without a word 🤣

Sometimes I'm still in bed and I just hear the door go.

She's a cracking girl. I'm not the centre of her universe.

Ds leaves earlier than me so he brings me a cup of tea and gives me a hug before he goes, I get the same when he goes to bed

Nope, to say she’s not a morning person is putting it mildly! Hugs before bedtime usually.

I get a grunt

My son left for school before I went to work.
From year 9 I didn't get up to see him out. Instead he plonked a cup of tea on my bedside table and gave me a kiss.
Now I get a cup of tea and a kiss before he goes to bed
He's 20 and at uni, I do miss that cup of tea when he's away

Other way round here. My son (20) has pretty much always been up for a hug My daughter (22) has reserved her hugs for special occasions for some years now, mostly before or after long absences.

This 🤣

Wow. You lucky thing!!

Yes - I have a very huggy 17-year-old, so I get hugs in the morning and at bedtime as a bare minimum. I hope he never grows out of it.

I never hugged mine at nursery or primary drop off. Now I'm lucky if there's a grunt! Still hugs at other times of day though

So true! 🤣🤣🤣

Yes! My DS14 still doesn't leave the house without a hug, sometimes a kiss if I'm lucky... I really hope he doesn't grow out of it!
