"Wild. My daughter is on the cusp of adolescence, and I've noticed that she is wanting less hugs, kisses, etc. It's not a problem for me, and I kinda figured she's just growing out of that stuff." —u/Only_Indication_9715
"I'm in the opposite boat. My(48m) daughter(12f) is beginning to notice her body changing and for a couple different reasons she isn't comfortable hugging anymore. I don't pressure her for hugs, of course, but I do miss hugging my girl." —u/dancin-weasel -

"This. My dad still isolates in his TV room. My fondest memory with him is watching the Drew Carey Whose Line? regularly and absolutely dying of laughter. But yeah, it was up to me to check in with him if I wanted any sort of connection. Otherwise, it's just him and his sh*tty cop investigation shows. I usually call my mom once a week. He and I text each other on holidays." —u/mephistophe_SLEAZE

"My best friend has THE BEST relationship with her dad. Not because they're similar. They are polar opposites. But the dad always makes time to just talk to his daughter. He knows so much about baking from just listening to his daughter and being in the kitchen while she bakes. Literally just being there and getting to know you kid makes all the difference." —u/DenseWheat113

"One year when I was in elementary, my mom left a comically large piece of paper on the front door for my dad telling him not to forget to wish me a happy birthday. Not only did he not wish me a happy birthday, but he somehow didn't see the gigantic sign when he walked in the house from work. So I got to read it when I got home from school. Sometimes I think about calling him to check in but then I think of that (and other complete fumbles) and then I just don't" —u/TetonsTeaTin
