12715497, I still have awkward side hugs with dad and havent really said Love U Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Mon Feb-02-15 12:32 AM
Like someone else said,
I was raised 2nd generation Asian immigrant, and for us, well:

But yea Im trying to do different with my son. Theres some value in how I was raised, but there are alos some detriments. No reason you cant get the best of both worlds.
Hes 6 but I hug, kiss, and tell him I love him everyday.
The excuse that the world wont coddle him is lame. Of course it wont. The world wont fuckin coddle him whether I choose to hug and tell him I love him or not. The world is cold. He just needs to understand that no matter how the world is -- he's got mom and dad at home that love him and are behind him 100%.
That doesnt mean mom and dad can't also be cold as ice when you do some dumb fucked up shit either.
