s/o do you kiss your kids on the lips?

[Anonymous]

No, though I'm not grossed out when I see others kissing their small children (I am when they are older, like tweens+). South Asian American.

I do. South Asian. My parents think it's very weird, but I love getting kisses from my toddler.

We do it, mainly b/c 4 y/o DD wants to. My parents kissed me on lips (German/English/something something, something mixed). DH is adopted and I am sure they didn't.

My parents never did when I was going up. But when ask my 13 mo DD for a kiss, I get one on the lips. I'll happily take it! Caucasian.

We do. But not when DS has cooties. Jewish mama, white athiest nerd dad. We both grew up with it. Seems weird not to.

Yes. But I thought what a strange question, at first.

Yes I do (and I am a white female American), and I really never thought any big deal about it until reading comments on this site over the past couple of years. I kiss on the cheek hello to people I barely know and clients - that is a lot more strange to me than kissing my own child on the mouth.

White American family and we kiss on the lips. We also greet our siblings and in-laws like that, too- but only on my DH's side. My family barely even hugs.

yes, I kiss my son on the lips and I still kiss my parents on the lips (at 35) I friends on the cheeks but all others (parents friends, in-laws etc) I kiss on the lips. I seem to be the weird one...

No. Kisses on lips are romantic. At what age do you teach your children they're inappropriate if you do this? Ok at 3. Still ok at 16? Obviously not. Where do you draw the line and how do you tell DC that if was ok yesterday but not ok today?

Yes, American-born Caucasian with toddler. Definitely. Every day.

[Anonymous]

Yes - white Caucasian (though mother is not American).

Husband does - white Caucasian (but he was raised outside the US)

[Anonymous]

Plain old white person. Yes, I kiss my boys on the lips.

Lets not use this site as a guage of "normal" parenting and healthy relationships.
