The dad shared his story on Reddit's "Am I The A**hole?" forum, asking people to weigh in on if he was right to tell his wife and in-laws to "f*ck off." Commenters took a pro-cuddling, pro-profanity stance and supported the dad's actions.
The dad of three says that his oldest daughter, who is fifteen, has "always been a cuddler" and that he is one, too.
I have 3 kids, 15F, 12F and 7M. My oldest has always been a cuddler, and that suits me fine because I am too. Recently my in laws were over, and we were all watching a movie together. It was a kids movie, and so my 15yo was bored out of her mind and tired, so she started to snuggle up to me and go to sleep.
After the movie was over, we sent all the kids to bed/their rooms and got chatting for a bit longer. There was a fair bit of wine involved (I was sober though), and eventually after a short silence my FIL let it drop that he thought it was inappropriate I still cuddled with my 15yo. I don't really know why he brought it up suddenly, but I was prepared to laugh it off and just assumed it was the alcohol. To my surprise, my wife and MIL both agreed with him.
