[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm wondering if those of you who say OP's DS should attend also make your kids hug/kiss adults when they don't want to.  Do you make your kids play with those who make them feel different, make them feel there's something wrong with them, hound/pursue them? I don't and, therefore, wouldn't make my teenager attend an event where he's made to feel bad because of his differences. [/quote]

Oh please.  There’s a huge difference between insisting your teenager attend family holiday gatherings and making [b]little kids[/b] hug and kiss relatives.   You people really are over the top.  [/quote]

No, there is no difference.  That you can't see it's the same scenario is disturbing.  And, it's not just little kids who shouldn't be required/pressured to hug and kiss relatives.  It's anyone.  Parents should not pressure their kids to subsume their need for safety (physical and/or emotional) to conform to the desires of others. [/quote]

You need therapy.  [b]Nobody makes teenagers hug and kiss anyone[/b].  That’s why I said little kids.  Weirdo.  Why are you so angry? [/quote]

Really?  Why do you make little kids do that but not teenagers? [/quote]
