It can show closeness. In a family, physical closeness like this can signify a strong emotional bond. It shows that they are comfortable with each other.
At a family gathering, they were all sitting around a small bonfire in the backyard. There were not enough chairs, and the son offered his lap for his mom to sit on for a while. They started sharing stories from their past, and it was a really warm and bonding moment between them.
One day, when I was a little kid, we were playing a game. Mom pretended to be a knight on a horse and she sat gently on my lap which was like the horse. I giggled as she made funny horse - neighing sounds. It was a really warm and fun moment that I'll always remember.
It might be part of a creative play. For example, if they were acting out a story or a scene from a fairy tale where mom was playing a character that needed to be on the 'lap - horse' or something similar. This kind of play helps in strengthening the family relationship and creating shared memories.
In a normal family environment, this kind of situation is unacceptable. We should promote family stories that are full of love, care and positive values rather than such abnormal and improper content.
Yes, for example, in a family gathering when the son is young, the mom may sit on his lap playfully for a brief moment to share a joke or a warm family story. It can be a sign of a very close and affectionate family bond.
No. It is extremely dangerous. In a car, everyone should be properly seated in their own seats with seat belts on. Sitting on someone's lap doesn't provide the necessary protection in case of an accident, and it can also be a distraction to the driver.
In some Asian cultures where family closeness is highly valued, it might be more acceptable in certain family situations. For instance, in a big family celebration at home, if the space is limited and the son is young and willing, it could happen as a sign of family harmony and closeness.
In fictional stories, it can be a symbol of reconciliation. Maybe they had some sort of conflict in the past due to the son's sexual orientation, and this act represents them coming to terms with it and restoring their relationship.
In some cases, it can be appropriate. If they are in a situation where there are no other options due to space constraints and it's a family - only environment, it may be okay. For example, if they are in a small camper van and all the seats are occupied with necessary items.
