[quote=Anonymous]My parents' generation was messed up by the cultural revolution and they just never showed any physical affection. Since I was a straight A student, it's expected that I should do well and they didn't praise for every achievement. I used to recoil at my mom's touch b/c she was very heavy handed and what she thought was an affectionate tap was usually like a slap. That said, I knew they loved me deeply and were proud of me. I initiated a lot of hugging in my teenage years. Later my parents started to get used to it and even my dad began to expect hugs every time. They also started to praise me more in my adulthood. For much of my childhood they were these super stern figures and only mellowed with age.[/quote]
