I grew up with two very loving, amazing, and supportive parents, but we've never been an overly affectionate family, so Ginn coming in hot with the over-the-top smothering of kisses and trying to hold on to her son is especially jarring to me. I've only been smothered like that by great-great-aunts and other distant relatives who I saw every now and then and barely knew, and I wasn't a fan. I smother my cats with affection (they're clingy lap cats so they like it) but with my nephew who is old enough to express himself, I tend to ask him if I can give him a hug (he went through a fist bump phase with everyone for a couple of years and is only just recently initiating hugs on his own).
The way she uses her son for affection only when it suits her, it just feels so disingenuous and manic, like she thinks this is what moms are supposed to do. It doesn't look natural at all, and I know we've all pointed this out, I just can't get over how gross I find it. I'd rather she just not even pretend to be an involved doting mother than this fake crap.
