Of course it is normal and aides in the healthy development of said child. Your mother sounds unstable.
2 of mine still cuddle with dad, 7 and 10. Soak up those cuddle moments when you can!
There is nothing wrong for a parent to cuddle with their own child affection is the best thing you can give your children 
That woman must be ignorant there ain’t nothing to a dad cuddling his daughter that lady is just looking for something to pin on somebody if they going to be acting that way just because of them cuddling on a couch she must be stupid

You’re mom needs to be “cut out” and mind her own business. It’s only wrong if the father is aroused or inappropriately touching the child. PERIOD!!
I hate that fathers are deemed “perverted” for doing what he should be doing with his babies(showing affection) Let the man cuddle his babies if that’s what they want to do.

Yes it is definitely normal to cuddle your children. I would personally think it’s not normal to think you shouldn’t cuddle your kids. Showing your children affection is always a good idea. When my child is tired, sad, or just had a long day, she asks if we can cuddle. Sometimes she’ll ask if we can “group cuddle” with my husband and our youngest daughter. It always cheers her up and they both love it!

My 5 year old nephew loves to cuddle we cuddle all the time!!!
Woman if your mind goes to the gutter about inappropriate stuff then u need to seek out therapy cause it’s perfectly fine for a child to cuddle with their damn father on a couch ffs!
Would it be weird for a mom to cuddle her son? No. Just because we’re different genders doesn’t mean we can’t cuddle our children of the opposite gender. It literally has NOTHING to do with anything sexual so it definitely isn’t weird. I’d try to explain it to your mom like that.

My 7yr old cuddles with my husband all the time (his step dad)
What in the $uck??? Omg. I couldn’t even imagine NOT snuggling them. Theyre just babies. Of course they should be snuggled. You only got about 5 or 6 years til they think they’re to cool for it! Lol

I would tell mom to stop sexualizing a literal CHILD with her father… That’s where the problem lies. She needs therapy for whatever she may have gone through to make her think that.
I can’t imagine telling my five year old she’s not allowed to cuddle with her dad, and then her have to watch her toddler sister get that attention. It’s completely normal. Especially if dad works all day & your child doesn’t get to see him much!

Umm what I cuddled on the couch with my dad until I was at least 12. Big daddys girl!. My 9 year old still occasionally cuddle with her dad
Mom is so wrong she must have issues from her child hood most little girls are daddies girls I know I was and I’m 72 if I had a chance I’d love on mine now let them learn to love each other

Maybe something happened to your mom when she was younger… that sounds a lot like the way a victim of sexual abuse would think. I’d just put her in her place & tell her, in our home we snuggle & show affection.

What’s up with people, no this is not weird. Our daughter is 10 and she sleeps in the same bed as dad. My sons are 7, 4 and 1 and they all cuddle with dad. Tell her to stop sexualizing the situation and that its them bonding. All you have to do is speak to your daughter about people not touching any of her no no spots and if they do no matter WHO it is you tell mommy because its not right for anyone to do it no matter if they are family or not. Then tell anyone who is trying to mame a deal of it after that that YOU talked to your child about being safe and not to worry about it.

Wow really, that’s sad. Most girls are daddys girls but regardless why is it so wrong for fathers to love their kids but moms can always cuddle. Mine are 15, 16, 17, and 18 and I still cuddle with them and it’s purely out of love and I miss them due to workig a ton. I never had affectionate parents and I never want my kids to feel like I did growing up (not worthy of a hug). I was abused and I had a very hard time giving hugs until I had my kids. There’s nothing gross or wrong with being a loving parent or showing your kids you love them.

You would know if something was up, and if u do think something is you need to file a police report.

Sounds a bit like your mom has the problem.
Wow I’m 40 and still still sit on my dads recliner and hug him! Guess that’s inappropriate too!
