He has not so far. When he does I'll stop but only then. |

| Afraid not! I am the OP, and this is exactly what I am talking about. I had no idea there were such strong views on this. My parents kissed me on the lips, my dad still does, and I don't think its wierd at all! Again, a peck is what we are talking about! |

I kiss my 2yr old on the lips and he showers with me from time to time. I find nothing gross about this. He LOVES giving me kisses. We are an affectionate family with many many hugs and many group hugs. I plan on requiring regular kisses as long as he lives under my roof
I certainly am not afraid of giving him herpes or menegitis as someone suggested (I'm hoping that was sarcasm). I certainly would never rub an ozing cold sore on his face. |

| Look you can spread meningitis by sharing a chapstick. |

Didn't you people ever watch "The Family Feud" with Richard Dawson. That old leisure suit wearing letch used to kiss all the ladies on the mouth. It was gross! That said, I looked on wikipedia just now. Despite all that mouth kissing, he's still alive, has a bunch of grandkids and his profile said nothing about herpes or meningitis.
I can't believe people would be so offended by people who kiss their own kids. Lighten up! |

I looooooooooove to kiss baby (9 mos) on the lips! Top lip, bottom lip, both lips. He loves it too and opens his mouth and tries to kiss me. I also come from a very kissy family and we think nothing of pecks on the mouth, nose, cheek, whatever.
When he gets older, we will just teach him that he does not kiss others like that, just mommy and daddy. And when he is even older, we will explain the difference between family "i love you" kisses and boyfriend/girlfriend kisses. This is what parents do, right? Teach their kids things. And of course if I had a cold sore, I would not be kissing my baby (or anyone!) on the lips OR face. |

| I was at the park one day and I saw a father talking to his about 11 year old daughter. It seemed like weekend visitation and he was not going to go to her house. She kept saying how she didn't want him to leave. They hugged each other a lot and kissed on the mouth... a lot. I almost called the police, but I did scramble to get my kids out of there. |

| I kiss my 9 month old daughter al the time, she likes it. :o) At a certain age it might stop? I think it is normal to kiss on the lips in Europe, esp. in France. |

It is cultural. I, too, will do it until my boy says "stop." It isn't like I stick him the tongue!
And those of us going bonkers over this - chill. It has no effect on you, and we promise not to kiss you. |

I think greater harm is done to children when they get too little affection, not too much.
I kiss my 2-yr-old DS on the cheeks, the chin, the hands, the feet, the belly, the knees, the nose, and, yes, the mouth. He knows his mommy loves him--that's what's important! |

| I totally agree! I want my children to remember that they were hugged, snuggled, loved and kissed a ton. AND I DO NOT WANT MY HUSBAND TO SHAKE HANDS WITH MY SON-- I hope for hugs. It makes me so sad when I see my Dad and brothers shake hands. |
