I don't know about this. My son is all about "daddy" and "nana", even though I'm the one who does everything for him. Seems like I'm supposed to cook dinner and change his diapers and clean his room, and thats the end of it. I figure this is just because I'm also the one who disciplines him, while they just stand aside and let me look like the bad guy. However much this irritates me now, I know its better in the long run because at least he'll respect me as a parent.

My son is the same way and I love it! My dauighter isn't much for snuggling so I thuroughly enjoy my sons affections. He will snuggle with my husband if I'm not around, so Dad does get some attention.

Just remember always, that we are raisng adults, not just children. So how you wish them to be as adults is how you treat them now.

Totally agree! I have 2 children both boys, so I can't compare, but oh so loving. I love having boys in fact! I see girls the same age and am quite happy to have my boys. each to their own though.

My son is nurturing and full of those wonderful cuddles only he can give...unfortunately my daughter is more into doing her own thing and wants loved up only on occasion. I'm hoping this changes as she gets older. I didn't have a very affectionate family growing up and treasure each little hug and sticky faced kiss I get now.

My boys are very loving,cuddly and affectionate. They always tell me they love me. It's nice. I hope they stay that way they are 6, 3 and 10 months. I don't have any girls so I don't know the difference.

My 2 1/2 yr old son is very affectionate. If I walk in/out the door I get a big hug & kiss. Same with bed time & alot of the time just because we are next to each other. He loves to lay on my lap and snuggle.

My boys (19,13,7) are more loving than my daughter (16) is now. But she is a teenager and therefore psychotic at the moment She used to be very loving, now she just has her moments. I am praying that it comes back and that my younger boys don't go through it.

Hello, I am new to the group but would like to say that my son is almost 16 and is way more loving than my daughter- He has always been the same since he was born and I don't see him changing anytime soon-

My boys are 9 and 7 and are both still full of hugs and cuddles. It's the best feeling ever. I hope it will last for a very long time to come.

Enjoy every minute of it, I know I do! My son's 2 1/2 and he is also full of affection. I don' t have a girl so I don't know if there's a difference
