Letter writer doesn’t know how to deal with a neighbor who loves to hug.
During dinner he mentioned wanting to use our pool. After more texts from him, we invited them over on a Sunday evening. The husband immediately went in to hug my son. My son gave him an uncomfortable side hug. My older son put out his hand for a handshake. The neighbor said, “Oh, a handshake, huh?” I never thought they’d come in expecting to hug our children!
While we were there, he asked my son for his cellphone number. I piped up: “You can call our landline number to ask our son to feed your dog.” He seemed surprised that I didn’t readily give him my son’s cell. I keep telling myself that these neighbors are just trying too hard, but we feel uncomfortable.
