I just realised that I don’t think I can remember the last time I hugged my own and I see her everyday.
Made me a bit sad, but we were never really that sort of family I guess?

I hug mine twice every time I see her, hug her when I turn up at hers or she comes to mine and then before I or she leaves

Occasionally. Not cause I don’t love her but I don’t like to be touched too much

Rare enough that I remember the specific occasions😂 when I told her I was pregnant, on her wedding day, when I told her I got engaged, and I genuinely cannot remember any other!
I see her every week and speak every day, we’re just not a very touchy family either

My mom isn’t a hugger so never lol

Very very rare, my mom never showed affection ! I am a very affectionate person but she isn’t…
Also my father was jealous if she was affectionnate with the kids 😑 so sadly I think she just got used to not do it by fear .. and now even though he isn’t in our life anymore, 18y of submission and abuse leave some scars :/

I wish I could hug her more often than I do! I live abroad. When I do see her, I stay at her house and we hug every day. Im not a hugger and sometimes it cringes me out but I love her and I hug her through the cringe 😂👌 idk if anyone relates, my sister is the same

Never. She doesn't live here 😭

Same boat as you, we were never that kind of family! The only time I hug her is if I’m going abroad for a little while 😭 which in hindsight is horrid LOL as if it’s just incase something happens 💀💀 it makes me a bit sad too seeing families who have that level of closeness especially those with bigger families x

I put all the time, although we live in different countries and see each other twice a year, so technically I go months without hugging her
She was not affectionate when I was growing up, which she regrets. And since I am an affectionate person and like to hug my loved ones, I hug her frequently now. Sometimes she’s awkward but it means a lot to her

I know exactly the last time! September 4th, 2022.
Because it was her second to last day on earth. My dad has never been the hugging type, but she always was. She was the best, smartest, chillest mom in the universe. Hug those moms! Do not miss out!

My mother has been deceased for nearly 7 years, but up until then, I was living with her as a roommate. I paid a share of rent, bills, groceries. I hugged her every single day if not multiple times a day. She used to tell me it was “annoying” how much I loved on her.

Never, we’re not really a hug family. My partners family hug me twice every time we see them and his Dad kisses my cheek. I was never brought up in a family like that so it’s always weird to me 😂

I force hugs on my mum lol, she's becoming more open to it these days which is nice 🥹😅

I’d find the FIL kissing your cheek, weird as well lol. I would be creeped out if my FIL did that, but he’s just weird in general lol!

yeah it is a bit weird but he’s such a nice guy. He means well 😅😂

that happened to me the other week, my partners dad gave me a kiss on the cheek and I was taken back 😂😂😂 x

I believe it! 🫶
