[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. MY DH's son and his family are known to be huggers. It's normal and expected.[/quote] It shouldn't be. No one should have to hug. That is gross to force it. [/quote] Geez..chill people. No one is forcing anyone but shouldn't the gracious thing be for the kid to at least say thank you? [/quote] We also don’t know the circumstances of OP and her DH. 11 year olds don’t understand complicated human relationships. Hell, most adults don’t. Asking for a hug probably crossed a line with him, and he was likely too hurt /irritated to be thankful, especially if grandma is still in the picture somewhere. While I think an 11 year old is old enough to express gratitude to a host, I also wouldn’t expect much more than a cursory thanks. But like I said, I withhold a lot of judgment on this Without the full story of step grandmother. [/quote]
