I know it might sound weird since i’m 17
But i’m really touch starved
I talked about it with my mom and she jokingly said that i can sleep with her and our dog.
The thing is, i think i actually want That
I don’t know if it’s creepy or not but i really need to be cuddled and she is littearly the closest person to me on my entire life.
She held me in her hands for yers and she knows me better than anyone else
She’s also very caring and does her best to be there for me

honestly, I get it. everybody gets touch starved at some point, and if your mom makes you feel comforted, then I don’t see the problem. she’s your mom, the one person in the world who’s felt you close since even before you were born. there’s nothing wrong about wanting to feel close to her even now that you’re older.

Tell her to scoot the fuck over.
Speaking as a mom she wasn’t joking. She’d love it more than you probably. I would die and come back to squeeee if my babies crawled in with me 😭💜💜
Totally normal at 17 or any age really to want to hug your parents and stuff
That’s not creepy at all, hun. My kids are 11 & 12 & will absolutely climb all over me anytime they want cuddles. My 12yo told me last week when I leaned down to hug her in bed that I could just sleep with her.
You’re still her baby. I’m 36 & regularly go to my mom for a hug. I went through something horrible last year & my mom was my first call. As soon as I saw her, I was clinging to her. Age doesn’t change the fact that I’m her baby & I still need her.
From the sounds of it, your mom is the same way.
As a 25 year old woman, I still love snuggling and hugging my mother. There’s nothing wrong with that. Whoever says otherwise is weird…
Hmmm, at first this sounded really cute and I’m sure your mom wouldn’t mind but long-term this could become an unhealthy habit that you definately don’t want to explain/tell someone else about, so maybe get your own cat or dog to bond with and hold until you meet someone. Having an animal depend on you and to hold when you feel sad or lonely really helps.
Hey! This is actually completely normal and not creepy at all. She probably wasn’t completely joking. She will always be your momma. My mom let me do it when I hit really bad depressions in high school. As a mom myself now, I’d do the same.
It’s not creepy, do it.
My aunt died earlier this week and we’d all give anything to be able to cuddle her one last time. Do it. Otherwise you’ll look back and wish to god you had when you could.

There is no age that is too old. I know 17 seems awkward, but if it won’t be any different from your 20s and 30s. Loving your parent(s) is nothing to be ashamed of and if this is what you need, do it. I am so jealous of your relationship right now.
Do it. She won’t be around forever and one day you’ll look back and be so glad you did
Take the chance if you can. It’s the only mom you’ll ever get, and you need it. I’m sure your mom would love to; parents still see their kids as literal kids a lot of the time lmao
My nine-year-old routinely crawls in at night.
If he continues to do so at age 17, I’ll scoot over to make room. 😊
I can only hope my kid will still snuggle in 9 years when 17 hits 🥲
I used to occasionally sleep and cuddle with my mom until i moved out at 19, not creepy at all
My 17 year old son is very cuddly and I am not. I still eat it up. It fills my soul. It’s a blessing!

When I (then 47F) came home after an extended hospitalization my (step)mom slept in my bed with me for the first couple of nights. Not because we had any medical concerns but because we both needed that time to decompress and reassure each other that I was going to be okay. She has always been more of a parent to me than my biological mother. Some people might find that weird but I needed my mom right then.
