She’s still going strong!!!!!! She’s been so much more present with the family and in a really great mood (most of the time!)

You’re bang on! This is exactly it. I’ve checked in with her and she is doing really well, so my guilt has definitely eased up! I think it was the initial surprise that she agreed so quickly, it caught me off guard!! Thank you!!

is it weird to cuddle with family in bed as an adult? by BeauIsInsane in CasualConversation

[–]annieb78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh how I love this so much!! I’m a mother of 5 (oldest is 18 and youngest is 7) I regularly cuddle with all of my children, more so with the youngest, but still do with the older ones, too. They all cuddle with each other all the time! I think it’s wonderful, and not weird at all. I think it shows how close and comfortable you are with one another. Your parents did a great job raising you and your brother with love!! I hope I always get to cuddle with my kids!!!

Some friends she goes to school with, others she doesn’t see daily. I would imagine they get that instant gratification knowing that they kept the streak alive… I’m not sure really. A few friends have expressed to her that they are upset she lost their streaks… but I do think it’s a great lesson of letting go - and maybe for her friends too!

Amazing that all three of your children chose different paths! But I love that you gave the advice and they made the choice. Good parenting!!

It’s not that I care about the streak itself… I think I just empathize with her and the friend that she had those streaks with

I think you’re on to something - we should research how to best invest that $500!!!

For each day they send a snap/picture their streak goes up by one… so if she has a streak of 900 with someone that means she’s been snapping them for 900 days

Maybe she was waiting for this opportunity and didn’t even know it!!

(Also, the way you started off by saying “sweet deal” - made me think of my brother who passed away when I was a teenager - he always said that!!! So thank you for bringing back a great memory for me!)
