Adult daughters sitting on his lap
 

Did anyone else find the fact that Johns adult daughters still come and sit on his lap VERY WEIRD. I have never heard of anyone who's adult kids would do that. I also felt for Ann and Amanda who havent kids when the conversation went on a bit about kids and stuff

No

I find most things about John a bit weird and his daughters sitting on daddy's lap is most odd. Most of them seem cheesed right off with him so i hope its him leaving now Andrew is not gonna get nommed. He is the only one i would really like to see go.

Not in the slightest

It's not in the least bit weird. I'd be more worried about someone who thinks that is weird tbh.

I wouldn't sit on my dads lap now cause I'd flatten him but I definitely would have in my 20's when I was a skinny young thing.

It's called love folks, doesn't have to be associated with anything else.

..I have lots of friends who still have their adult daughters sit on their lap from time to time...:laugh:...I think it’s very sweet that they still have that bond and that their daughters don’t feel a sense of self conscious to do it...I’d be fine with my sons sitting on my lap except that either would probably crush me, so I don’t t encourage it...

The opposite of weird

Weird would be a family who are afraid of showing love and affection

You dont have to worry about me Paula Its just my opinion !!!

Why would you feel sorry for them? Did Amanda want kids?

Love and affection is lovely. It was shown to us by both our parents and we loved them both. I love how adult kids still hug or kiss their parents and tell them they love them. Sitting on their laps I just find strange. Sorry. Just my opinion though

I think she said in some conversation it didnt happen for her but I felt she may have liked one. I have a friend who has no kids and sometimes when she meets all her friends all they talk about is their kids. She would have loved kids but couldnt have them.

It's akin to grown adults calling them "mummy and daddy". Each to their own but a tad juvenile.

We don't know, that's the point. And John saying afterwards that Ann was never married was just plain stupid also. So because someone never married does that mean they never wanted to have kids?

I actually thought it was quite perceptive of Daffy Duck although I don't trust him so I didn't know if it was part of a gameplan or what.

I call mine Mam and Dad, what do you call yours?

My youngest daughter who's 23 is very affectionate ,we have lots of cuddles and she tells me at least 10 times a day that she loves me ,she's the same with her Dad, its how you bring kids up if you show them love you get it back

Mum and dad.
That's not "mummy and daddy" is it?

Thats lovely chuff my kids are young yet but I would hope they will grow up like that. I love the cuddles etc but even as much as I love them the thought of them sitting on any of our laps as adults is kinda strange lol

It's not something I've seen someone my age do with their parents but I don't think it'd be that big a deal.

She doesn't sit on our laps now she's as big as me but taller so I would soon knock her off lol .....but loads of love and cuddles

I know what you mean.

I guess i'm just glad to hear a story of close love within a family, especially in today's society where people - and families - seem more divided and distant from each other than ever before.

But yeah i wouldn't do the lap sitting myself! The usual hugs are enough!

What are you blathering on about?

I simply suggested it's ridiculous to feel sorry for someone who's never had kids. There are people who simply don't have them and are fine with that decision. Which was why I asked if Amanda had wanted them.

I don't have an issue with it, if my sons were to sit on my knee they would kill me :hee: we have lots of hugs though

I get what Paula is saying, not sure if you are watching but John was very dismissive about Ann being bothered about the kids discussion, and that she never "even" married, like that is a barrier to having kids, I think Ann has expressed that she would like to have married and have kids but never found the right one..

Which has nothing to do with what I asked rionablue about Amanda.

Rionablue has answered.

It did a bit. My daughters would no more sit on my lap than fly in the air

Iv not seen hide nor hair of the brats since boxing day neither

:idc:

Amanda walked away with Ann which you would know if you were watching

Again, nothing to do with what I asked about Amanda. I didn't ask a single thing about Ann.

You would know if you were reading.

But, rionablue understood a simple question and kindly answered so.... that's it.

Yes they did

You were responding to Paula not Riona, I can butt in if I like :hee:

No, I wasn't...

Then Paula and yourself took it upon yourselves to answer questions I didn't ask even though rionablue already answered my very simple question.
Thanks anyway. :thumbs:

my post was in response to your rather rude one to Paula above, if you wanted an exclusive conversation with Riona you should have taken it to pm :umm2: as you are so fond of pointing out its a public forum and anyone can respond

I didn't say exclusive. I said I don't want a lecture on something I didn't question to begin with.

If yourself and Paula responded to what I actually asked, there'd be no issue.

Its ok folks. I just created the thread because I found it strange adult daughters sitting on Johns lap. Everyone has their own opinions on it some find it fine. Thats what forums are about but we must just respect we are all different in our views

Of course your opinion is as valid as everyone else's :flowers:

I lost my father when I was 12.

Cherish what you have folks as I would love to have him back and sit on his lap xx

And I answered you, we don't know do we?

No need to get aggressive in your posting. :shrug:

...and that just sums it up. So sorry Poppsywoppsy...:hug:

Not really tbh. My sister still sits on my dads knee (usually when shes arselicking to get something :laugh: ) and I will sit cuddled up to him sometimes. I think its nice that even when the kids are adults they still have a close relationship with their dads tbh

Also agree with this.

I find it weird that people would think this is weird :laugh:

My sister and I still call them mam and dad. No mummy and daddy here but lots of affection
