My DD has had problems since birth and gets ill a lot. She was sick last night with a chesty cough but I had a long planned night out with a friend I don't see often. On the doorstep DH was reassuring me that DD would be fine with him and that he'd phone me if anything changed. He could see I was still a bit worried and so gave me a big hug and kissed me on the forehead. I like it when he does this, it makes me feel cared for, safe/protected, and cements in my mind that he loves me in lot's of ways and not just sexually.
However when I got in the taxi my friend commented that it was weird and father-like, and that she thought it was 'a bit creepy'. I'm a bit [cconfused] and wanted to get the Mumsnet jury's opinion on this.
