When Did Your Kids Stop Snuggling with You?

My son has never been a snuggler since birth. He was a very happy baby, but always preferred to be independent. He didn't like being held much as an infant, and definitely not now as a toddler. I stopped any kind of snuggling with my dad (never snuggled with my mom) I'd say around 10. My husband said he doesn't ever remember liking snuggling as a child.

My 2 older daughters who are 21 and almost 19 both still ciddle with me when they are home from college. The almost 19 year old the most, but she has always been a real "cuddler" LOL! My younger 2 who are 9 and almost 11, are still quite cuddly, but out of the 2 of them, the 9 yr old is far less cuddly, since she likes to be on the move or doing things. She rarely sits and watches TV or movies, and will only sit and cuddle with me if she is sick or if we are talking about something. BTW, the almost 11 yr old is a boy. He has Asperger's too, so the fact that he cuddles AT ALL is a huge accomplishment! I will take it from him for as long as I can get it! :)

My daughter is 16 & still wants to snuggle.

My 11 yo still ends up in our bed at night on occasion. Sometimes our 14 yo is in there too. My 17 yo not so much, but she never was a touchy feely kind of kid. My 23 yo came home and doesn't so much snuggle but is always hugging me when I'm tryign to make dinner or work on the computer.

I snuggled with my Grandma until we moved away, she was 93.

When my 17 yr old daughter needs mom, is sick ( especially the bad cramps) or just support... She'll cuddle in the bed with me.

Sometimes when hubby is out of town we shut everything down, turn on a movie and my bed is full with her, me, and the 3 dogs.

We're heading to South Beach together for the end of the year trip for mom/daughter! Can't wait!

My 8 1/2 year old girls just left me side. She has been in here all evening snuggling while we played Gardens of Time on FB.

My 5 yr. old grandson will lay by me on the bed and watch some TV but as for just sitting with me to snuggle...he really doesn't do that too much unless he is feeling bad.

My friend has a son who still likes to snuggle, he is nearly 12. She was turned into the state last year by some parents who saw it at an activity and said it was highly inappropriate for a young man that age to be acting like that around his mom. They insinuated they were having a sexual relationship. The state dismissed the referral but the boy and mom both have to do counseling once a week for a year.

The hubby actually won full custody by bringing it up in court how he felt it was inappropriate for his son to still be doing that. She has suffered and cried over this.

So I do believe that society will notice if it is past the point that they feel it is acceptable.

It's cute when a little one does it but a young man? I don't know when the cut off point would be for sure though.

They havent yet.. 16 and 19.. I pray they never do!

Gamma G I just saw your reply, that is terrible what has been done to your friend. Those people are SICK and her ex is a ____@____.com is never inappropriate to show love to your family.

my kiddo is 5 and we still snuggle. My mom was never a snuggler (once you were weaned she basically wanted nothing to do with you) so I really value the snuggling with my daughter. It doesn't really answer your question, but I hope the snuggling lasts for awhile longer, for sure, and hearing that your kids still snuggle makes me hopeful and happy.

my daughter is 7 and my son is 4 and thankfully we still LOVE to snuggle up! I too hope it never ends :)

My son is 13 and is still a major snuggler.

mine is 10 and still cuddles. I hope it never stops.

Well I have eight year old and he is still snuggle bunny and try sneak in bed to sleep with me. I also have 20 year old daughter who still snuggles when she comes around, my 17 year old well she dose on her own terms when she wants to .

I think it has to do a lot with personality and feelings towards the parents as the child ages. I can't actually remember enjoying snuggling with my parents although I remember getting head massages. My son loves to snuggle and I hope it never ends.

Well, my hubby is out of town this week and my 12 yr old daughter wants to sleep in my bed one night while her daddy it away. I love snuggling and cuddling with my kiddos. I hope they never outgrow it. I told her she might not enjoy sleeping with me because her youngest sister just turned 1 (I have 4 children) and I pull her into my bed to nurse during the night. 12 year old daughter says it will be fun. I told her I'll think about it...

Mine are all girls, so i dont know if that makes a difference. They have never stopped and i hope never will :) They are 16, 15, 10 and 7. I woke up to my 15 year old in my bed the other day. (she had cramps and needed her mom) I love it!

well i have 6 kids brittney aged 2 , rylie aged 18 , twins ,tammy and tylier 15, kylie aged 11 and edward aged 5 my youngest two always cuddle with me but my oldest ones just walk away from the idea.

my 13 yr old daughter does with both Daddy and me (Mommy), as does our almost 10 yr old
but I think boys stop earlier

My son is almost eleven and still loves to snuggle with me, especially when he is sick or tired and I hope that it never ends. :)

My 14 year old son will still curl up on the couch with me to watch a movie and chat, and my 8 year old son is extremely cuddly.

My stepson just turned 30 today, and his snuggling has just changed into long hugs and backrubs when he feels stressed. I'm glad he is still that comfortable being close to me. I've known him since he was two and became his stepmom at four.

My kids are almost 9, 7, and 5...they are all my cuddlebugs. I love it and hope they NEVER stop.

We were at a dance competition this weekend and my daughter (almost 9) was the only one who wanted to hold my hand walking down the hallway...warmed my heart!

Not like when he was a kid, but even as an adult, there are still special times.....so hopefully NEVER.
