[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that the acceptable etiquette for kissing is very cultural. If you come from a culture where lip-kissing your children is perfectly normal, there's no reason not to continue this practice at home.

However, for the generic American culture, lip-kissing is only done between lovers. Don't kiss your children, coworkers, or friends on the lips if you want to be consistent with the broad cultural expectations.[/quote]

What culture kisses friends, co-workers and children on the lips? [/quote]

Hi. I’m American and give my kid a peck on the lips. It’s sweet. She’s 7 and prefers that to cheek. Although she gets forehead and cheek kisses too.

I’m not making out with my kid. Grow up. [/quote]

Same with my boys. I’m sure they will grow out of it and find it embarrassing at some point but they are little kids now.

I’m American and don’t kiss my parents on the lips but it doesn’t freak me out when other people do. [/quote]
