Why doesn't my husband give our daughter kisses?

Why doesnt my husband feel comfortable with giving our daughter kisses?!

Answer #1

ask him why and if he says he doenst know- he’s not being open and honest.

he knows why he feels uncomfortable and after its in the open it will be easy for you to let him know how silly he is being. And he has every right to kiss his daughter and its perfectly normal and he should feel comfortable. theres a prob he needs to face.

its probebly something little that he doesnt relise is so easy to fix. Maybe its something as silly as he’s nickname as a kid was petafile pete (im not saying this is a possibility, just an examople of silly his issue may be) and this gave him a complex which has ramifications to this day???

could be a million reasons but I bet its something small and easy to deal with once he can tell the truth about what prevents him from doing something so normal. He will prob find it very hard to say the complete truth because he’s had a complex about something for so long with never telling anyone and no one noticing before.

Answer #2

he dosen’t love her

love rere

Answer #3

With some people.. its really hard to display signs of affection physically– even verbally. He might show those signs of affection by other means with your daughter…(buying things, joking a lot..etc)

Answer #4

My dad never kissed me… and it’s nothing personal. He probably feels weird because he loves you and it’s weird for him to kiss another girl even it’s his daughter.

Answer #5

Some people feel that kissing such a close relation as a daughter is wrong and that it is not right. But it is ok and you need to talk to him about it.

Answer #6

my step dad doesnt bath my little half sister even though shes his daughter, he says its not right. maybee your husband thinks its not right not to give your daughter kisses . it doesnt mean to say he doesnt love her. hope this helps x

Answer #7

I have a little daughter and I rarely kiss her. I love her though, so what’s the problem?

Kissing is so much of a cultural thing though. Some cultures do a lot of it and others dont. My culture doesn’t. Kissing is mainly used in modern western countries as a sign of affection. In other countries it is used as a sign of respect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiss

Its just like hugging, which is treated and done differently in other cultures too.

So, don’t worry if he does not kiss your daughter. Once in a while I’ll kiss my daughter, but now she thinks its “icky” :-)

Answer #8

How old is he? My father was taught not to show affection when he was a child, his parents didn’t hug and kiss him and he didn’t hug and kiss me or my sister. It could be that or a number of other reasons. My brother-in-law wouldn’t even change my niece’s diaper because he was afraid people would suspect him of doing something wrong. I know that’s crazy but that is how some people think. Good luck and be safe.

Answer #9

Well, some people are raised that affection isn’t really proper. My Grandma (who raised me) has never gave me a hug, except when its been a while since we’ve seen each other.. and we dang sure have never hugged in public! Affection is usually taught by the parents. My husband was taught a lot of it, and it drives me crazy sometimes! Especially when we’re in public. Maybe your husband just doesnt know how to show affection to a small child.

Answer #10
