[quote=Anonymous]Teach your kids air kisses, where you get close but don't actually touch. Ask your kids (if they are old enough) if that would be an acceptable way to get/give kisses from the slobbery set. I bet they will say yes. THEN tell grandpa that you've reached a compromise. Just say - "hey, don't get your feelings hurt - but Sally/Bobby are shy around big kissers, but they have been having fun practicing air kisses and that's how they want to do it for now." Maybe that would smooth over the awkwardness of it. I don't think graparents are entitled to kisses and FWIW I put my kids feelings ahead of the grandparents. That's the new pecking order. Sorry mom and dad. Surely your kids can display good manners and a proper greeting without submitting to unwanted kisses. [/quote]
