PDA

No...not Personal Digital Assistant...Public Display of Affection!
One of the funnest things for us to do is to gross out the boys by kissing in front of them. Its not like we make out right there or anything. Even just a very brief kiss on the lips is enough to prompt groans of disgust (and sometimes even screams) from some of our boys. Some of them just look away, and some of them are not bothered by it...yet.

We recently bought a new (but inexpensive) Digital Camera. The boys are hoping that we will like the new one enough to give the old one to them to use. The other day #3 was asking D how the new camera was working and wondering if they could use the old one.
He said he could take a picture of D and me kissing. #4 piped right up and said: Yeah! That's what I would take a picture of too!
#1 came into the conversation at this point and said: I would delete it.
He seems to be the most disturbed that we like to hold hands and sometimes kiss in front of the boys. However, we think that it is a good thing for the boys to know that we love each other. I think if we stopped our occasional PDAs in front of them, they might start to worry. (#1 just told me that us holding hands once a week, and an occasional I love you from one or the other of us would be enough for him to not be worried.)
Do you embarrass anyone with your PDAs?

I think it is good for kids to see their parents be affectionate, so they can see how much their parents dig each other. I think it helps them to grow up to be affectionate adults and parents.

I totally agree with you and annie. We are affectionate in front of our kids. Our oldest is almost 9 and he is getting to the point where he doesn't like it. That just makes us do it even more just because. ;)

I think it also shows kids a good example of appropriate affection and respect for someone you love--more specifically for their some-day spouses.
