[quote=Anonymous]My inlaws do this and it drives me bananas. During every get together they stand around asking when dd is going to give them a hug or kiss and act totally offended and repeatedly asking every time she shies away. It is one thing to hug or kiss hello (or not) but it becomes the constant subject matter of the whole get together and becomes a "thing." I tried to say something once to the effect Of "please stop asking. She will do it when she wants and the more you ask the more she will not want to." and my DH wasn't happy with my reaction. But it is the truth. I know from personal experience that the family members that either forced kisses on me or made it a big issue because I didn't like being smothered with kisses were the ones who I dreaded/avoided the most.[/quote]
