Why???
Anyways, my family is pretty touchy feely. My dad hugs me and I play with my brother. Sometimes I'll pretend like I'm punching him and he'll resist. He tried to pick me up once but I'm too heavy :fat: (well, I was resisting too because I felt fat so that didn't help).
But ya, everyone in my family hugs. I hug my uncles, my grandfather, brothers.
On the other hand, I was also taught to dress modestly at home in front of my male relatives, which I do. I think that's very important.
Alhamdulillah nothing like that goes on in my family although I know in my not so extended family, well... Allahu alam.
Whoever talked about parents not being too affectionate in front of the kids, that's really valid and I never thought of it like that. Sometimes I wonder if kids who sexually abuse their siblings are really just mimicing what they see without realizing what it is so parents should probably be cautious around the kids.
Anyways, before any of my kids start going to school, I'm going to sit with them and give them "the talk" that if anyone dares to lay a hand on them in any way that feels uncomfortable, to come tell me, to explain that it's not their fault, they've done nothing wrong, and that I love them no matter what.
