Man, that’s crazy. My 3yo son cuddles and sleeps with my husband sometimes (when my son asks). I (28f) still hug and kiss and hang on my dad.
Absolutely not. If the dad was a child molester yes, but if he’s a dad and your child wants to cuddle, your mom needs to leave it be
Absolutely not I don’t care what age my baby girls are they can cuddle myself and their father whenever they want
What?? Our girls cuddled with daddy way passed 5.
Why is everyone sexualizing shit? That’s the weird part.
I’m 29 and still cuddle my mom on the couch, wtf? I didn’t know that kids outgrew cuddles…

Omfg ! My son in 9, he still sleeps with me. We cuddle as crazy, he s a big mouthed though boy but actually still a little boy who needs mama s attention. And I m still enjoying it while it lasts, and if someone comes to tell me it s inapropriate… well just let them come to my face and say that:woman_facepalming:t3:
I would say its perfectly normal…

Tf!? Take all the cuddles you can get! My 5 yr old will snuggle both of us if he’s tired enough
No. All kids need cuddles, with Dad and Mom both.
Huge hell no! Let them cuddle. Period.
Um no my 5 yr old loves her daddy and cuddles with him all the time
Your mom needs counseling
My five year old loves to snuggle. With me and his dad. Why is it okay for mom’s but not dad’s? They’re only little for so long. And eventually they’re not going to want us near them.

Umm no my daughter is five and still does it and I don’t expect it to stop any time soon 
Hell no. My 8yo still cuddles with us 
Wth?! My twins get tight snuggles, belly farts, back scratches and loads of kisses from their father. To think wrong of a child snuggling up to their father is so disturbing. Children need love from both of their parents and not every child is lucky enough to get that.

I’m 47 and I’d cuddle with my dad right now if he was living. What I’d give to be able to hug him. This woman is crazy to think this way in my opinion. Children need to feel loved by their dad as much as from their mom. She needs to mind her own business unless there is cause for concern!

I’d it normal for a mom to cuddle on the couch with her 5 year old?
Some adults (for reals 
)
Your mother has issues my sons 10 and still does this and my daughter is all over her dad… I’d be so sad if my kids didn’t want cuddles anymore, aslong as they want it and do it out of their own free will etc. If a child doesnt feel safe cuddling with mum and dad then id be worried at that age, 5 in my eyes is still a baby 
I’d ligit be telling my mother where to go…
Wth lol… tell you mom to mind her own …
Um what?? Of course it’s normal and even healthy.
Our 5year old son cuddles with his daddy on the couch or even sneaks in bed in early morning hrs to just cuddle nothing wrong with that he feels safe that he can do this. We need to cherish all the memories while they are little.
How sad 
It is normal kids need to know how much both parents love them . Tell her to mind her business sometimes when people are miserable in life they try to make it the same for others …
Better get the cuddles while you can, those come few and far between as they age.
Oh my lord, the child is 5 
Your mom is 110% ridiculous and inappropriate. Respectfully, tell her to get therapy for her issues, which I’m assuming stem from her own childhood and possibly father.
Something is wrong with your Mother , not your Husband.

TF?!?! How could that possible be bad/ inappropriate?!?! 
I think your mamma is a fool.
Of course it’s normal! It’s healthy for a child to receive affection from both parents, and if my partner didn’t snuggle our son, I’d kick off.
My 16 year old daughter still cuddles with me. That was when she was 12. Nothing wrong with it,
Your mom is wrong and DISRESPECTFULLY needs to shut up and move on!
Good dads are affectionate with their kids! They hug, they cuddle, the do all the same “loving” things that mamas do! Your mom is TRASH! Sorry not sorry!
Uhhh. No. Hell no.
Let your child have a relationship and know their dad loves them. Dont make it weird boomer.

The only time it’s inappropriate is if the child is uncomfortable with it, as long as the child wants to cuddle let them!
Sounds like the grandma needs to learn her place. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a child cuddling their dad. How asinine. My oldest is 15 and she still cuddles me. My other two are 12 and 9. They cuddle me all day every day. Children thrive off love from parents
Cut her out … what a destructive outlook on raising cared for and secure children
You mother is a loveless, joyless sociopath.

I apologize but your mom is not the sharpest tool in the shed
Maybe mums jealous that her very own daughter has a real man in her life and doesn’t need rely on mummy. That’s probably the reason.
What an absolutely disgusting mom you have. She needs therapy.
Wtf kind of question is this? Are you sure you are responsible or intelligent enough to be having kids?
This is perfectly fine . Cuddling w parents is normal and healthy
Your mum has trust issues, look into her
Your mom is wrong. There is nothing wrong with a 5 year old snuggling with dad…or mom.
People are sick it’s her dad
Your mother is stupid
Wtf. Your mum has issue and needs stay out the way.

That is perfectly normal… I am 31 and will still snuggle my dad on the couch if i want…
I have always been a daddy’s girl and LOVED being near my dad. I remember my grandmother, aunts, and uncles saying how they thought it was inappropriate, which never made sense to me as a kid, cause I just loved my dad and wanted to be with him. I’m 42 now and nothing has changed - I love my dad and talk to him every day. Now, he has just as close of a relationship with my daughter. She’s 15 and her papaw is one of her best buds. It’s an amazing thing to have!

At 11years old my daughter simply adores her dad,he’s tough On her at times but she gets her hug and kiss occasionally because she’s too adorable!
Unfortunately its that generation and the way they’ve been molded to think. My dad would never cuddle my son said he was a boy and boys shake hands. Not saying its the “right or wrong” way of thinking its just exceptionally common in that generation. However my daughter just turned 11 and still sits cuddled up with her dad in the sofa even if they are just playing a game on heir phones. He’s been at work all day and they miss him…

It is sad that your mum thinks that it is wrong for your daughter to cuddle up with her dad!! I grew up in a not so healthy environment, but I still wouldn’t think it was wrong that a child wants to cuddle up with their dad! It’s not hidden, It’s happening right there in front of everyone…maybe some of her own past and insecurities are why she has said this

I still would at 34, just don’t have one to snuggle with. Let her enjoy those special bonding moments they’ll soon be gone before you know it. It’s a fantastic start in your childs learning of what a loving father should be like and in turn she will take those memories into adulthood, teaching her what a father should be, and hopefully that’ll be something she looks for in a potential partner in the far future. As stated by many commenting, childhood memories do stick and they do effect how we parent as adults. This is a fantastic opportunity to set your child up for life xx
My daughter 4 1/2 cuddles up to my partner all the time. My step kids 3 and 5 cuddle up to him. Same as my 6 month old son.
Soak it up and let your kids cuddle up to mum and dad for along as they want to.
