Well definitely not from my father since he wanted to treat me more like his buddy than his son. It was only a handshake or something dumb like that. I always got my daily allotment of hugs from my mom since she always cared about me.
-
I don't know what a lot is, a fair amount I would say.
-
Yes, my mommy hugs pretty much every day she sees any of us, and my dad also does a fair amount. They love us. :)
-
When I was about 9 my father said no more kisses or hugs.....in his later years, he became an avid pursuer of both.
-
Actually, no, not at all really - Dad was affectionate but Mum was not - at all - she was always shouting as I recall.
-
I got lots of hugs :)
-
Yes! Plenty of hugs to go around!
-
Yes, my Mom hugged me all the time. My Dad worked away but I got one from him when he came home.
-
Sure but it was so long ago. It seems the older I got the less and less the hugs came by.
-
Yeah, when I was little I got quite a lot of hugs from my mom. It has remained pretty consistent, although we see each other a lot less now.
-
I was telling a friend yesterday that I don't remember ever getting a hug from my mom, ever. I did get some from my dad, and my grandmother was always good for hugs anytime I was there.
-
Didn't grow up with much affection but thought it was normal as we all do regarding the home we grow up in. Was German/Irish so I wasn't terribly affectionate to my children either except when they were small up to jr. high. In fact, now, too much affection makes me uncomfortable.
-
I do with my sons , my parents No
-
Never.
-
No.
-
My dad did..not my mother
-
My dad was the nurturing one and my mom I think was more afraid to show her love... I ask her now about it and she laughs a nervous laugh and tells me I'm crazy... =o)
-
mum is so kind she hugs me a lot but dad has no emotions at all
-
Yes, they did. We still do.
-
it saddens me to think of it but i cannot remember getting many cuddles as a child, especially from my father. nether the less i know my parents love very much. i made a decision that i would tell them i love them everyday and am always finding an excuse to hug someone! i swore to myself that when i have children i will give them cuddles and show them attention where ever i can x
-
Yup. Since I'm cyber schooled, I'm spending a lot of time with my mom and brother. She likes to randomly hug us, like she would be knocking on my door like there is a serial killer in the house and just hug me. I hug my dad everyday- every time comes home (since he leaves at 3 am and it's too early to hug him lol)
-
OH no no no... My family is VERY unaffectionate.
-
My mother liked to hug, but my father didn't hug as often. I would hug my mother every night before I went to bed when I was a child.
