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

All these people saying they insist on hugs. Why? If your kids aren't huggy people, you should respect that!

I hated hugging when I was a teenager, and physically cringed every time I had to hug someone. But I should never have "HAD" to hug anyone! It doesn't mean I didn't like or even love them, I just never liked that kind of super close contact.

I'm very close to both of mine and we do hug a lot, but neither of them would have been in the mood to show affection on school mornings. They both detested school and hated early mornings, so they were too busy steeling themselves to be interested in anything else. I'm so glad they're both out of school now, the secondary years were horrible.

Dd 18 doing degree apprenticeship - not so much but at least a couple if times a week
Ds 15 in year 11 - still every day

Almost 15y old DS2 runs back for one, on the rare occasion he forgets.
I can't actually remember when the hugs stopped, with DS1, 30, so I make the most of it. Any hug could be the last one...

I have a 14 Yr old DD and I get a side arm hug and she waits for me to kiss her cheek. She let's me know when she's in a cuddly mood and I make the most of it. Sometimes she doesn't want that and I respect it. She's going through a rollercoaster of emotions at the moment. Needs a lot of reassurance 😔
My DS is 9 and I dread the change (if he does). He's constantly wanting cuddles at the moment. (Like right now, he's sitting against my hip with my arm draped across him). He's found school difficult this term. He's the same with his dad and I will get abandoned once he gets home from work so I've got to make the most of it.

20 yo ds still hugs me all the time, demands them infact, even when he's getting off the bus before me he'll rest his head on my shoulder.
15 yo ds still huggy also, comes in for hugs in the morning while he's sleepy and randomly through the day

Yes. Because he is amused that I now end-up under his armpit as he has grown so much.
He comes to read to me at bed-time too. With bad accents and great ruination of the chapter I was reading,

The day there was a chapter which mentioned Skibidi (I'm not looking that up) Toilet, he was horrified!

It's mostly sweet though, so I don't complain...

DS 16 gives me and his father hugs every morning before leaving and at bedtime, entirely of his own volition. He was a very cuddly child.

all these huggy teenagers and even 20s. You are all so lucky !

No not now. I don’t push it. Sometimes he comes to me off his own back, not that often though

Definitely not as he is always in a rush in the morning.

Not an obligatory going out the door hug but I still hug my teen boys regularly.

Mine is very cuddly but doesn't realise how big and strong he's got so it more like being rugby-tackled.

God no. I hug my 14 year old DS a lot, he is quite huggy, but not before he goes to school. Half the time I'm at work or in the shower when he leaves for school anyway. The 17 year old DS is not a hugger in the slightest, he will let me hug him sometimes but stands there with his arms to his sides in a kind of jokey but also not way.

No.

But I do strongly believe touch is essential in keeping them close.

I have an ice queen who allows me to hug her when I’ve not seen her for a while (29)

My middle one like me to her in her bed for chats and sometimes she will snuggle me in the couch - she is taller than me and she feel led hugs are weird.

My youngest still sleeps in my bed and is like a limpet on my back
