    Who's mamma? You? You're going to want to find a replacement snuggler soon. She'll probably feel like shes too old for that soon.

    Sounds like this could be bordering on emotional incest…

      Come on now.... I don't know but this just sounds like innocent cuddling to me. Sure, it's not the norm, but definitely not incest.

        I don't think you understand what I am saying… I'm not talking about physical sexual contact; what I am talking about is this:

        "The term covert incest (also known as emotional incest or psychic incest) is used by some mental health professionals to describe a relationship between parents and children that is sexualized and expects a child to fulfill adult emotional roles, though without actual incest." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covert_incest)

          While I'd never heard of emotional incest before, I could infer what it meant. I stand by my claim that from what I know, the cuddling is innocent. I don't think it is sexual from what I am hearing, and though this woman should probably seek help to discover why she is feeling so uneasy at night, I don't think that finding comfort in her daughter, a beloved family member, puts her in an adult role.

            The real problem here is that she risks turning her daughter into a stress reliever, essentially objectifying her. It is normal for a parent to want to be physically close to their children, especially at that age, but feeling insecure without them near you at night is not emotionally healthy. When I was little, my mother wanted me to take naps with her and snuggle, but it made me feel smothered and uncomfortable. As a result of the pressure she put on me to give her affection, it is difficult for me to be affectionate with women even when I want to be.

    • unless you have a daughter and assuming you are a man, you cannot judge another man's motives. at the very worst he may be afraid that it is as you say

    I suppose. The perverted daughter fetish is still possible though less likely.

    If you're a male, then it depends.
    If you're thinkin something like " I'm protecting you tonight" it's fine probably. If you're thinking something more like " Mmm.. soft tiny woman.." then that's wrong and get yourself help before your daughter has to.
