Hey
How do i explain to my mother-in-law that personal space is important to my son without offending her?? She is a very touchy feely person anyway, but each time she visits she is constantly grabbing at both my kids and holding them tightly so they can't escape. It's awful to watch anyway because it looks aggressive sometimes, but it's particularly difficult for my aspie son who looks REALLY uncomfortable. I know she loves them and wants to cuddle, who doesn't with little ones, but i feel it's verging on dis-respectful. My OH has addressed this with her before, but it alomost feels she has gotten worse to spite. I don't want to make her feel like we are trying to stand in the way of her having a close relationship with them, but she needs to understand it's inappropriate when my son has issue with touch and sensory issues.
Thanks Again xx
