What's a good age to stop tucking kids in and kissing goodnight? ?
What do you mean by "tucking in"? There's absolutely nothing wrong with a hug and kiss goodnight at any age. My husband and I kiss goodnight before we fall asleep. Does that mean that I'm immature because I like a bedtime kiss? I remember when my parents stopped coming to my room to tell me good night. I was probably 11 or so, and I remember being sad about it. I liked ending the day with that minute or two alone with each parent and a little hug and kiss. There's never any need to be weaned off of love. Love and affection is something that most of us get far too little of, IMO.
I hate kissing my parents goodnight!?
My parents are very overprotective. I'm a teen (15) and my dad comes into my room every night for a kiss on the cheek. I HATE it. I hate kissing and hugging in general. I try my best not to hug or kiss my parents. It's just something I don't like. I like my personal space. For example, when I'm in my room, I NEED the door closed. It makes me feel uncomfortable when it's wide open. My dad and mom always try to cuddle me, my dad more because I'm supposedly a "daddy's girl". And I always move away for just keep saying "no" and they get mad (mostly my dad -.-) and storm out and call me a brat/selfish under their breath, sometimes out loud. They think something's "up" with me and I'm rude. I just hate cuddling and kissing my parents! I think it's weird and gross and creepy. I know other kids kiss their parents and stuff but I hate it. Any advice on how to deal with this? Or how to tell my parents to stop?!
Are parents supposed to say goodnight to you?
My friend was telling me how her dad stepped on her homework when he came into say goodnight and I said, "your parents say good night to you? Because mine don't" And she was like, "Yah, every night" And she was liked shocked. So I asked more people and they all said that their parents would say goodnight to them. Mine never have. I didn't realize they were supposed to. Do yours?
Do you kiss your children goodnight?
Every single night! Even my 16 year old still comes and gives me a kiss every night ..one day about a month ago I was having a bad bad morning and I was grumpy ..and I didn’t walk my 16 yr old out when she went to the bus and tell her to have a good day and say goodbye ..well that day she told me she had the worst day and she was really upset that I didn’t do it.. u felt terrible..u don’t realize how these little gestures affect your kids.. it’s little things that have the BIGGEST impact.. u really never know what could happen in life..imagine not saying goodnight to ur kids and giving them a kiss and something happening that night and they remember that Last moment seeing their parent ..wouldn’t u want it to be a good one? Or saying goodbye to them in the morning
Would you give your teenage child a goodnight kiss if she wanted it?
?????????What kind of monster would not give their child a kiss?? Seriously, your teenage child actually wants a kiss, from you, their parent, and instead of feeling lucky and accomplished and honored, you ask the internet if you should???This just doesn't add up. If your kid is comfortable asking for a kiss, it means you raised them right. Which doesn't mesh well with you asking this question. I'm not sure anyone can have both the ability to raise a kid right and the immaturity to think that giving your teenage child a kiss is wrong.. So this must, certainly, be a troll question.But, if it's not, then yes, please. Stop being awkward about affection to your children, they're your children, you're not raping them. There's nothing sexual in showing affection to your children, regardless of your/their genders!
I'm 14 and my parents still tuck me in every night. Do other parents do this or is it just mine? Aren't I too old to be tucked in?
Every night at 10 PM my parents come into my room, tell me to get into bed and then the tuck in. Tucking in usually consists of hugs, kisses, cuddles, a little bit of talking and then finally my parents saying goodnight to me. Once my parents tuck me in I'm not allowed to get out of bed unless I need to use the restroom or need something from my parents. Aren't I a little old for this?
When is a child too old to get a kiss from their parents before going to bed?
Never, if the child wants to kiss the parent goodnight.My 26 and 27-year-old daughters kiss me and when they were in their teens and staying up later than I did, I’d go to bed with a book and they’d come in to see if I was still reading before they went to bed to kiss me goodnight.In August, Mom was in the hospital. I had visited with her all afternoon and was leaving. She leaned toward me and after a brief kiss I began pulling back. I realized she was still leaning in for one of her rarer kisses where she kissed me repeatedly a few times. I leaned back in and she kissed me three more times.It was our last kiss. During the night she was intubated and never spoke or kissed again. I wasn’t too old for that goodnight kiss. I cherish it.
My mom stills kisses me goodnight? is that normal im 18?
its okay
Why are most people my age doing way worse than their parents did financially?
Depends on your age and your parents age, and in what country you live.I'll give brief perspective. Consider post-WW2 North America, especially USA. Yes the war was awful and many lives lost, but compared to most other countries in the world in 1945, the US won the lottery. Industrial and commercial infrastructure intact, trading footprint everywhere in the world, domestic and international security (even during the Cold War, in general), manageable national debt, the world's global currency, and ability to operate globally in English. Meanwhile much of the world had to rebuild, and in various places repopulate. And many other countries not involved in WW2 were not major or rich. I'm generalizing and there are exceptions (Switzerland, etc) but it's generally true.So the US economy just rocketed ahead of all others in the 50s and kept on going. Nobody came close until the 80s (Japan for a while, West Germany) and in absolute terms much lower. So it was hard for the average American Joe to not do well from 1950 to 1980s. So many got ahead; the garbage man could buy a house, families had 2 cars. And all that.I'm Canadian; it was true here too, but to a lesser degree.Meanwhile, the world has rebalanced and countries and regions rise again. There are lots of reasons but no need to get into it; it's true. There is now much competition for manufacturing, resources, labour and customers/sales. It's much different than was the case in postwar economies.I'm in my 50s. That's my parent’s generation. How can you compete with that situation? The world is a tougher place for work and business now.Of course, a person writing from China or Vietnam (for example) has a different story to tell concerning wealth relative to their parent's generation. So my response is from a North American perspective, since I think the question is from here.
