[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're relatives. It's a HUG. Seriously, get over it. Yes, your child is rude. Enough with the boundaries nonsense, when you try to make EVERY SINGLE STUPID THING about "boundaries" it loses its importance and effectiveness. Find some other reason to stir the pot with your in-laws because this is silly. [/quote]

I feel sorry for your kid. [/quote]

I feel sorry for the relatives who raised OP's husband with love and want to be affectionate, in an innocent and totally normal way, to their grandchild/niece/nephew, only to be cold shouldered, rebuffed, told they are wrong for doing that and made to feel weird. [/quote]

I also feel sorry for you. It seems like you've been raised to believe that love means you give up all bodily autonomy and agency. Scarred little kids are forced to hug grandparents and a little boy will be forced to hug his aunt until he cries. In my house, my kids feel safe and respected. They show affection when they feel it - not when they're bullied into it. I'm sorry the bullying kind of affection is all you've known. [/quote]

Oh, spare me the dramatics. LOL--so totally absurd[/quote]
