The touching part he added about adult children is so true. When kids are small, they are all over you, all the time it seems(especially nursing moms), but as they get older there is less physical contact. While growing up, my family was not touchy at all, but my kids are.
Touchy is better. :-)

it is true there is less touching as they get older. xsteen made a point of giving me a big hug on my bday and i said how much i appreciated it, bc she doesn't do it often and her response was that i didn't HUG HER anymore. so i am trying to maintain physical affection with here and xsboy even though they are teens now. now xsbrownie is on me like white on rice fairly constantly, even in church this past sunday with no a/c and she is right up agin me : )

my family growing up was very touchy and i want to make sure it is that way with my kids

nursing moms...Touchy is better...

Yes, and touching other adults rarely leaves one with either calluses OR thrush...but there are some exceptions...
