 At what age/size do you cut your kids off from using you as a couch? #asknostr 
 When they get embarrassed by you, its like thumb sucking have them hang off yea till their friends see them do it 
 I was hoping it would come with the "No/stop" phase we're currently in, but she still wants to be cuddled 😑. I'm probably an enabler with daddy's girl since it was just mama's boys before her 
 I just spent 45 min cuddling my 7.5 to sleep cause she felt like she didn’t get enough today 
 Never, time with children is so fleeting and precious, I will never deny my child the comfort of my embrace. If a dads arms can't be a safe haven in this messed up world than where is? 
 Don't mind being a comfort blanket. But I'm skinny and boney and don't make for a good chair replacement. Verdict: i am a monster 
 I've always been a skinny guy, blessed with a high metabolism, never needed to work out, but when I realised my daughter was starting to get heavy for me to lift, that was the spark of inspiration I needed to start getting more fit and building some mass. 👍🏻 
 Never 
 When it gets weird 
 That might be too far. 
 Lol 
 Still going at 8 and 11, both around 80lbs. I’ll keep welcoming it until they move out or my bones start breaking. 

Take every snuggle you can get, for as long as you can get them, and memorize every second of it. There will be a last time, sooner than you’re ready for. 
 when appropriate; love first, tuff love second if needed, this is rated PG/ i miss my kids & definitely biased! 
 You don't. 
Enjoy while it lasts till they cut it.
