Did the most lovely thing this morning with my teenager

[igetcrazytoo]

Went to wake my 14yr old DD this morning (no school today), and I had bad headache, so I got into bed with her and we had a cuddle.

She fell back asleep and I lay there with her head on my chest, and her arms around me. and I could smell her hair, and listen to her breathing and feel her warmth and it reminded me of when she was just a baby. That same feeling just washed over me and reminded me how much I really, really love her.

She's a normal teenager, and we normally just have quick hugs - and soon she'll be off and out of my life - it was wonderful just to get that feeling again.

Sorry if it sounds soft, but that lovely feelings been with me all day

:)

How lovely.

Aw As the mother of a 14 year old girl, I get ya!

:)

Awww. Lovely.

Lovely.

I've told mine that I can't guarantee that I'll wake up in the morning so she comes to wake me, getting for a cuddle every morning. During the rest of the time she's not very cuddly but between 7 - 7.15 am I have a fab Mother & daughter cuddle - long may it last.

Aww, what a precious moment. It would be lovely if you could share with your daughter how much it meant to you.

selks, thank you for the idea, I'm just off to nag her into bed - I'LL tell her.

That is lovely.

Had a similar experience at the cinema yesterday with DD (aged 6) who sat on my lap for most of the film and cuddled right in. Reminded me of when she was a baby. I don't get enough of those cuddles anymore!

I want to go and cuddle my mum now, am not quite a teenager anymore but I love cuddling up to my mum

Awww as the mum of 2 teens I totally understand

Long may it last, bet she loved it too,& will remember that cuddle for years.

awwwwwww lovely - welling up too - we are just a load of old softies really x

Funnily enough I had a lovely snuggle with my DD this morning -it was lovely!

if it were your DS would you have got the same positive replies?

i often cuddle up with my ds. he is 15 we may cuddle up in bed and watch a dvd or just eat choc or something and chat.

That's lovely - so important to remember that teens need hugs too sometimes more than little kids - as its sometimes confusing being a teen!

Exactly kangeroo they still have that need to be a child at times, & if they want to I think its lovely too. They grow up so blardy quickly as it is.

noteven I'd like to think that Yes I would say & do the same if I had a DS.....as long as he was Ok with it.

How lovely After listening to my almost 14 year old DD just now crying on the phone as her & her boyfriend split up (6 months!), I really want to give her a very long cuddle X

:-p

I get to do this just now and then with my13 year old DS, and it has the same effect on me, makes me smile all day. Just for a few minutes, I get my funny, clever big boy AND the sweet baby he used to be all wrapped up together :)

hilariously timed post........

I have just gone right off hugging my very huggy (some might say clingy) 14 year old. We both went to get our hair cut at the local Hairdresses and we both had NITS. I have never had them before and somehow my DC's had managed to get most the way through their childhood without getting them.
So no hugs for me. Thank you very much.

Ahhhh feeling itchy just thinking about it.

Anyway, I am glad you enjoyed your hug.

noteven our ds still want cuddles sometimes just as much as our dds. I was a little confused by your post?

My ds gets into bed with me sometimes for a cuddle. He is 6'1" but will always be my baby. I too am transported back to those times when he was a tiny baby and am overwhelmed by love and think how very lucky I am.

awwww! i am a teen and some times i feel really down and need a hug! You should tell your daughter how you feel and maybe she will feel that way too! ;)

Aww.

DD sat on my lap last week (all 6 feet of her) and we had a really long cuddle. I didn't want to let her go (unfortunately I had to as I got pins and needles).

She is still my baby, she will still be my baby when she is 40odd.
