[quote=Anonymous]NP. Thanks for this thread and to PP who suggested hug/high five/handshake option. In my and DH's culture, kids are supposed to obey adults, period, and boundaries, what are those? Once, DH's 10 year old niece had her butt slapped by her grandfather and she said no and looked embarrassed. Niece's mother right away said "It's okay! Grandpa is just showing that he loves you." Niece then had to go over to Grandpa and give him a hug. I would have been like WTF?!? if I were not painfully aware that this is totally normal in our culture. Both sides of the family live far away so we don't see them that often and DD typically does not want to hug our relatives when she first sees them. If I see any relative pressuring her to do so, I'm going to jump in from now on with "how about a high five"? Perfect.[/quote]
