The article discusses a Reddit post where a user overhears two women expressing concern about hugging teenage sons, indicating a trend toward reduced physical affection. One woman claims to have stopped hugging her son to avoid him becoming too accustomed to physical affection, which deeply resonates with the author and provokes concern about the emotional impact on children. The author contrasts their own nurturing approach with this emerging mindset, questioning whether it reflects broader societal or conservative trends toward parenting boys.
My son will be hugged even more now.
I... I'm sorry I just hallucinated, I think.
This is real and it's horrible.
Is this a new 'strategy' for raising boys?
