I'd have to actually do it to be sure, but I'm pretty sure my mom, dad, siblings still kiss on the lips as adults. We're also a family that always says I love you. My mom was given up by her shitty parents as a young child so I think she's paranoid about making sure we know she loves us. Getting off the phone with her is like this- bye I love you, tell dh I love him, tell dhs best friend who's at our house she loves him too, if you talk to your sister later tell her I love her, ok love you bye! It's a complex I think

I kiss DD on the cheek, but when DD (2yo) initiates, it's usually on the lips. Either is fine with me, but DH will only accept cheek kisses from her. He is Caucasian American. I am Asian American.

We kiss on the lips in our family. We are Italian-American. It's a sign of affection and we are not teaching them it is something sexual. I am sure they will stop when it makes them feel uncomfortable. I personally find it very special and sweet.

We don't-both caucasian and Jewish. My DH's mom did it and it made him highly uncomfortable. I think if she did that alone it would be one thing, but she also had men sleeping over all the time and would even walk around nude and share way too much detail about her private life with her boys when they were young.

A friend of mine who is french kisses her kids on the lips. My friends' MIL is french also ad she does this with the grandkids and it drives my friend nuts, because she even does it when she has a cold.

I'm not a fan of it. But my DD gives kisses right on the lips to those she feels very very close to (about 4-6 people) including me. When I go to kiss her, I kiss whatever body part she presents to me to be kissed.

American.

Thought I wouldn't, but I do. (AA)

me, too -- but in my case, my kid started it and I let him set the tone.

My entire extended family, mother father, grandparents, great-aunts, uncles etc kissed on the lips. Italian-American. Very normal culturally and we grew up in a very Italian neghborhood, so it was normal to see. The only people left who still kiss me on the lips is my older sister and my first cousins. I don't kiss my son on the lips. (I know people think it is strange. ) But we always had nose kisses with our faces close and we still do this though he is at that "embarassed by my parents" age of 12. It's normal to him and his friends have seen us do it for years.

But he had muscle tone problems and could not pucker or blow bubbles until he was five. He used to give me open-mouth smacks on the cheek. I miss those tender kisses!

hahaha!

NOBODY is french kissing their kids.

Seriously! You sound a bit uptight.

We do not and frankly, don't understand why some people kiss children on the lips. It's inappropriate!

DH & I are both from Latin America.

Come off it, asshole. She's talking about her heritage/culture. Would adding American after Italian have pleased you?

I kissed my first boyfriend with a peck on the lips. I wasn't Frenching anyone til my THIRD boyfriend. I still considered those first kisses "romantic". I don't think you have to have your tongue down someone's throat to think of it as a romantic kiss.

I'm guessing you are a missionary kind of girl.
