[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing wrong with it.  13 year old is a child and it is sweet. Try not to go all Puritan and push your loving child away.  Boy, girl, father, mother, it is all fine.  Only perverts see something wrong in it, because they imagine their own perversion in everything.[/quote]

Every other country laughs at how weird we are with our lack of affection[/quote]

No they don't.[/quote]

Actually I am an immigrant, and I find this lack of affection amongst family members a little weird. A 13 year old boy is still a child. I would not be in a hurry for him to grow. Love and affection at home makes a child confident and secure.

If your child wants to sleep in the same room as you, in an adjacent space on a big bed, or lie with you on the couch while you watch a movie, and you think it is somehow inappropriate or sexual, then I can only surmise that you have been sexually abused as a child. This is not a normal reaction of parents.

Actually. Here we find it a little weird how some cultures don't let the sons separate from the moms to become independent husbands and self sufficient men.

It is just a different way of transitioning boys to eventual men. We don't want our men to be tied by the hip to mommy for ther rest of their lives.[/quote]

And yet, it is the Millennials in United States who are now having their mothers call their WORK if the child/adult has a an issue at WORK! Never heard of it in any other country at all. The confusion of mother loving and mother smothering seems to be a problem only here, and only in some American families, I would say most likely in the East and New England. There is a reason for this in the culture, research some history and you'll find out why.
I assure you those loving mothers who allow the child to come to their bed are not to be confused with mothers doing their child's homework. They might be way stricter in other aspects of life, do not confuse two different things.  Other cultures demand much more of their children and much younger than majority of US parents. So much so, that teens in US now don't even want to get a driver's licence when they can and are 17, 18 year olds being driven around. I allowed my children to come to my huge bed at 13, boy and girl, and my 16 year old now drives himself to sport competitions even 3,4 hours away on his own and stays on his own in hotels that allow it during these trips.
