eatin’ up, I def got what you said & meant and was going to defend your post, but see you beat me to the punch ;) sometimes people don’t take the time to fully read and digest others points of view……as for the hugging girls vs boys,I do see it here and there with people I know who have boys that they hold back a bit…but am thankful that in this day and age we have progressed to the point that most realize boys need just as much affection as girls. I have an 11 yr old son, who is very in touch with his feelings,sensitive,empathetic and quite comfortable with affection. His dad and I have hugged,kissed and told him we love him every day of his life :)
You GO lightenup–talk about hitting the nail smack dab on the head;) and Reddheadd–EXCELLENT points!! Freeholder1, love the last line of your post–very insightful* All I have to add is that there is nothing whiny about or wrong with Elly-she is HUMAN!
