But then, something happens in their early 20s that changes things, and it generally goes back to the loving side.

It was cute. Not too long after that he had a wrestling coach who constantly prompted him that the tough boys hug their moms and treat them like a queen. In his eyes, the coach is God. He's sixteen now and still eagerly hugs me in public to prove what a man he is. That was a good coach.<br /><br />My seventeen-year old daughter, however, will barely give me a hug if I beg her. Dad's hugs rock. She only hugs me to get me to leave her alone.<br /><br />Isn't it fun to watch them grow up and go through everything everyone said they would in their own little ways?Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09083941215123554455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-37841968952790668412012-11-05T07:54:09.156-07:002012-11-05T07:54:09.156-07:00I can relate.

By the 6th grade he began pretending as if he did not know me when I showed up at school. He actually ran from me in the hall once when I was there for a field trip of his younger brother's!<br /><br />Congrats to Tommy!
