Weeeellll, I'm not so sure that there can't be an excess of love, but as this isn't the sort of board to raise an argument to the contrary, I'll refrain.

"Act lovingly with respect for the other person's dignity and boundaries,  especially if you're a parent and the other is your child," I'd say. In which case, there is less likely to be an excess of love.

Maybe I've just read far too many self-help books? Ya think?

Always like hearing your mussings Rev Dorris!
