Now that she has kids of her own, she realized that she was following this same pattern. “She said that she didn't really like like cuddling and kissing and being like physically affectionate with her oldest because in her mind they weren't babies,” she said.
At the time, Choi remembered saying she “couldn't quite fathom” that idea. She noted that as her kid had gotten older, their physical connection had lessened. TikTok Mom Kyli Choi shared how she recalled a conversation with one of her mom friends about the physical connection between her oldest child and herself. Looking back, one mom on TikTok shared some regrets she had about how she lost that physical connection with her oldest kid, sharing that she’s working to get some of those snuggle-moments back. Moms hold on tight to their youngest kids, knowing that each moment is fleeting, snuggling them, and babying them just a little bit longer than they did their other kids because this is the last one. Most parents of multiples know that each of their children hold a special place in their heart in such different ways.
