How much is too much?

[Sixsmith]

I have a little boy who is 8. We love cuddles. He comes in for a morning cuddle when he wakes up and snuggles in. He gets lots of squeezes and kisses.
My husband says it's strange and I'll give him a complex and make him weird. He said you can't do that when he's a teenager, you know.
Yes, I know. He won't want cuddles with his mum then (and neither will I, ugh teenagers) so while he still wants a cuddle, I'll give him one.

Is this unreasonable? Is DH right and I should stop?

Oh I remember those days with such fondness! Mine is grown up now, and the closest he will get to a cuddle is sitting by me on the sofa and letting me stroke his hair 😂 Ignore your husband!

This! My 17yo DS doesn’t get into my bed any more but still loves a cuddle on the sofa with me - I’ve always asked all 3 DC’s to never stop wanting to!

I had a step-son from when he was 10 to 16. The 16 year old still came and flopped down beside me on the sofa for a cuddle. He wasn't weird or anything else and is now married, a vicar with his own parish.

I can't remember the last time I got a hug from my mother. Even as a child. We're not close now ... I hug my DS(8) as much as I can!
