You are taking it to another level. We are just talking about kiss and hugs and not spoon feeding and combing hair. No need to blow it our of proportion to convy the view point
OK, listen up here. I have nicknames for my little boys - names like dookie and binky. I have baby songs that I made for each of them. They are little boys.
Now IMAGINE…if you are married to a man and your MIL comes over and starts singing a baby song to her “binky”. And feeding him, combing his hair.
Appropriate to do when they’re little ones. NOT appropriate when they’re adults. Even now, I’m cutting back on these babyish things and we’re at the point that they still enjoy when I sing them their little songs but would be absolutely mortified if any of their classmates got wind of them. They are growing up.
Appropriate affection, even if its alot of affection is ok if its age-appropriate. But once again, treating an adult like an infant is a huge turnoff.
