My son over the past couple months has been having a fit everytime my husband trys to hug or kiss me. He comes running up yelling dont hug my mommy! No kiss my mommy!
My husband and I have a really good realtionship, we dont fuss and dont get any fights and few we do have are when are kids are at grandmas. Oh and yes my husband is the father of my son.
Is this normal for a 4year old boy to want to keep his daddy from kissing or giving me a hug!

yes this is very normal behavior at this age for a girl or boy.
They go through a jealous phase. You just explain as best as you can that mommy & daddy love each other very much just like you love him very much but that mommy's & daddy's are married & kiss & hug. If it causes temper tantrums maybe just try to tone it down for a few weeks & see if it blows over.
Just know that it is normal & it will eventually pass.
Good luck riding out the wait.

this is the age where boys "fall in love" with their moms and little girls "fall in love" with their dads. Have you ever heard a kid say "I'm going to marry my mommy/daddy"? So, there is a bit of jealousy going on right now- but it won't last for long. Try to keep the physical displays of affection between you and your husband to a minimum in front of your son for now. And, gently explain that mommy and daddy are married and love each other very much AND that they both love him very much, too but in a different way- the way mommys and daddys love their children. Tell him that when he grows up he'll find a wonderful girl like his mommy is to marry someday. Anyway, this IS totally normal for this age, so don't worry too much! Good luck!

It sounds like you have a nice family and you are a good involved father. It could and probably is just a phase. It could also be that there is a new baby on the way and he remembered when his brother was born and mommy was away for a few days and he was no longer the only child and had to share your attention. Just keep trying to take him out on the farm...fun!!! Ask him if he would like to "help" you do some things, my son always likes to help, it makes him feel like a big boy. He could also need some one on one time with mommy, if he is in school during the morning he may not be getting enough time with her. You could have him stay inside with Maddy for a half hour and then tell him he has to come outside so mommy can get some rest, she will be tired if she is pregnant.

My 4 year old and 2 year old do this when my husband hugs or kisses me. They both tell my husband that he can't "Hug or kiss my mommy." Then they say that they want to get hugs and kisses too. I tihnk it is normal. Kids go through the stage when they see their mom as theirs and only theirs and they get very possessive even if it is their dad showing the affection or attention.

I would simply ask him why he gets upset when daddy hugs or kisses mommy. I know my daughter is protective of me. But she is a mommys girl.

I would try talking to your son when your husband is not around and ask him why he doesn't what his dad hugging and kissing you. I only suggest doing it when your husbands not there so he can give you an honest answer without being worried about upsetting his dad.

My daughter is 4 and she does the exact thing;. She will slap his butt and say"No daddy thats nasty, my mommy". It is normal. Just being protective. Now that I am preg she is really all about me. I am mommy and daddy is Artur. She no longer calls him daddy and hangs on my belly saying" My brother, I love you mommy"It is a stage that will end when they learn about boys/girls:)lol

He is at the age where he believes he is going to marry mommie when he grows up. Dad is getting in between.

it's understandable that he might be getting jealous. cause mommy's attention has to be for him only. but, you have to let him know that daddy also needs hugs and kisses.

Kids go thru stages of wanting one parent more then the other this is perfectly normal and will pass. Let your husband know that it isn't anything personal. Don't make a big deal of it and it will pass sooner.
