Now that you say that, I do remember Victoria Beckham having similar backlash. It’s just so crazy. Every kid is different and they should draw their own boundaries. Thanks for reading & commenting!

I love this. Not too long ago I feel like I heard about another celeb (Victoria Beckham maybe?) posting a picture of herself kissing her daughter on the mouth and having a similar reaction. Judgement for showing our kids affection! What in the world? I agree with you that it’s the kids’ bodies and they have the right to draw their own boundaries. My 11 year old daughter kisses me on the lips, but my 6 year old son was never a kisser – he gives the best hugs ever (and sometimes never lets go). Every kid and every relationship is different. Love your take on the subject!

Thank you! I completely agree. No prompting necessary. I just don’t understand why there is so much controversy around this topic. Seems so simple to me.

I think what you said is very valuable, your kids will know who and when they want to share their affections with and they don’t need prompting. I have many fond memories from the time you and Lynn were babies and then through the kiddos too, love you all.
