I just hugged my 17-yo son goodnight. It was a good hug. We always tell each other "I love you." I hugged him at drop-offs in elementary school and other parents lamented "I wish my kids hugged me." I know every kid is different, but our kids hug us because we always hugged them. That's the secret.
@danielpunkass I wish that were true. My 11 year old gives me a hug when he goes to school.
One of the twins (8) just says bye the other pretends I don’t exist and runs off.
Same parents. Heck the twins even share DNA and they act completely different 😅
