What age to stop sitting on fathers lap

My husband’s daughter still sit on his lap out in public, they are also 26 and 23, it looks ridiculous, and embarrassing, or is it me thinking that and it’s acceptable?

Hi @Stepmom , welcome to the ReachOut forums - thanks for reaching out here Smiley Happy

Unfortunately with the limited resources we have on this topic, we are unable to offer much advice around this. 

It may be helpful to have an open and honest conversation with your husband about the concerns you're having. Have you been able to speak with your husband about this?

Have there been any other aspects of the relationship between your husband and his daughters that has worried you?
