Little Mia had no trouble giving a big hug to Mickey Mouse, though!
There’s truly no creature on this planet more unpredictable than a toddler, period. Parents know all too well that their little ones can bring joy or chaos in an instant. Jamie Collins understands this well.
While sharing some classic Disney family moments on her Instagram, Jamie posted a delightful video of Mia absolutely freaking out when she met Mickey Mouse (who wouldn’t?). The video is undeniably adorable, but the caption hits home for parents everywhere: “She allows me a hug once a week.” LOL!
The Collins family is currently in Tokyo while Jamie’s partner, Ryan, is on tour, and they took the opportunity to visit Disneyland, complete with matching toddler costumes. After all, when in Disney, right?
In the video with Mickey, Mia is all about that affectionate hug. She has zero hesitation in wrapping her arms around the giant mouse, who clearly poses no threat to her. But when it comes to her mom and dad? Forget it! Toddlers are pros at the art of withholding affection.
My little one is just a bit older than Mia, and she’s a total hug-stingy monster. She’d much rather continue playing than stop for a hug or a kiss for no reason at all. I work from home and spend every waking moment with her, so I don’t get those “I missed you!” embraces that some parents might. When my partner and I ask for a kiss, she usually just rolls her forehead toward us, as if to say, “Fine, here you go,” without a second thought.
Recently, Jamie took to Twitter, seeking understanding from fellow parents about their own “mean kid” tales after a particularly challenging day. She’s always refreshingly honest about both the ups and downs of motherhood, which is why we adore her so much.
Let’s all send her a giant, collective hug, shall we? Because toddlers, am I right?

In summary, even celebrity kids can be a bit standoffish when it comes to affection, and it’s a relatable struggle for all parents. Remember, toddlers are whimsical creatures, and their love can be as fleeting as their attention spans!
