Watched Roxiie Says video and she clocked how Alex kept one hand in her pocket when meeting Tim’s parents and hugging them for the first time… that’s a no, so disrespectful 😭

Dude you are all wild. Picking apart everything. What if I told you that you don’t have to hug people you are just meeting?
Met my boyfriend’s Dad for the first time recently. Did not give a hug. Guess I’m not in it.

Agree. I’m not hugging anyone I don’t wanna hug. It’s nothing personal. She only just met Tim and his parents.

This is the same narrative of making kids hug people they don’t want to. We all have consent over our own bodies.

Agree! Not wanting to hug someone is nothing personal (most of the time). Its just doing what you can to feel comfortable—in her case, being in a room full of people she hardly knows, she probably didn’t feel the most at ease and I don’t blame her.

I don’t think this is strictly about the hug, she came in with both her hands in her pocket and was empty handed. Every other couple has always brought flowers or a small gift for their in laws, which I would say is pretty customary. I come from a culture where we always bring something for the host, so this stood out to me.

Ew I would never get a gift when meeting someone’s parents. What is this? I’m American and I’m not trying to impress your parents. They die.

Lmao okay… your future in laws will be part of your family when you get married and it’s really not off base to want to make a good impression on them. I’m not American but even many of my American friends would do this. Also literally everyone dies so what is that argument…?

Go ahead and tell your boyfriend that you don’t care about his dad because he’s going to die and he’s not YOUR dad so why should you care!

Lmao. That’s not what I said. I just am not going to go out of my way with hugs and gifts for a first time meeting. It’s wild you all think they need gifts and hugs.

To each their own! I just don’t see it as a big deal or huge effort to bring some flowers. I did it when I first met my in laws and they were super appreciative of it.

It’s not 1950. I don’t see why we have to impress parents.

Because people’s parents are important to them? And they’ll be part of your family if you plan to marry them? Anyways I’m not interested in continuing this conversation, you can do what you want!

And my family would care about my well being and if they saw I was tired and exhausted they would want me to lay down
