Kudzu Korner

I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength. Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles. ~Phil 4:10-14

I have a 17 year old boy who:
Still says "I love you" when I or he walks out of a room.
Regardless if his entire hockey team is standing near him.

Still lets me hug, and kiss him on the head, in front of anyone. Adults, peers, hockey team mates, co workers.
Doesn't matter.

From the time they were babies to this day, I have always instilled in them that family was number one (after the Lord, and it is God who instituted the family) and it doesn't matter WHAT anyone else thought.......I have parents all the time tell me how 'lucky I am' that my kids are so affectionate.
It has nothing to do with lucky, and everything to do with careful training and teaching!

I agree with you Laura. And...as of now at least...they are all very affectionate and never hesitate to give hugs and say I love you etc. It's just the mommy versus mom thing. I'm okay with mom...when the youngest is 18! HA!

DUH: I forgot to say, I am "mom or ma ma".
Depends on the way the wind is blowing......hahahha
But he (and the 18 and 14 year old) will call me mom, ma ma no matter who's around!'
The kids (especially the 18 and 17 year olds) are very very comfortable in their own skin!
