I guess I shouldn't worry about it too much. I've always felt that a guy is not "man enough" if he does that. But reading this thread, a lot of guys and girls feel that hugging and kissing parents is okay.
And no NJMasti.. his parents do all this with all their kids.. not just my husband. So I don't think his parents are doing it to show me anything.
Yeah its hard to change habits that are so strong. I just don't want my own kids to be like that.. mommy daddy type. My husband is very nice to me.. loves me a lot. Even his parents love me more than anything.
I guess I just have to ignore the hugging kissing part.
