My kids both kiss me on the lips. I did not grow up that way so my natural inclination was to go for the cheek, but they have both converted me.

Whenever my 3 year old sees my husband and I kiss, she immediately says, "You got married!!" For some reason, she equates a kiss on the lips with getting married, and it always makes me laugh.

She loves hugs, but not kissing. So we pinch her toe at night. This is what she considers affection.

I don't have a problem with kisses on the lips. But if your kids do, then I would scale it back.

Signed,

An adult who was raised with closed mouth pecks on the lips for most relatives (even the crazy old aunt who had what looked like an adolescent beard.)

I am personally shocked that some parents do not kiss their children on the lips. I get the extended family thing, but not kiss your own sweet baby/toddler/child? I still kiss mine and they are 3 and 7, although the 7 year old does not like public kisses such as at school drop off.

I grew up in California and my family is really a mix of cultures.

I also think some people really overthink where their mouth has been, that cannot be healthy.

Family from the Caribbean, raised in the South. We all kiss on the cheek. I've never seen anyone kiss a child on the lips.

Drama queen.

You'll see the drama queen when your kid gets her/his first herpes ulcer on the lips. I repeat: GROSS!

Never had a herpes ulcer and I am 40. None of my kids have had one either.

But I think you are right. If you get them then you really shouldn't be kissing ANYONE!

You know you don't need to get the ulcers to be a carrier of the virus, right? Someone didn't do their bio readings...

And you do know that people can get the virus from modes other than kissing right? Go back to your bubble bio major.

Oh so just because you can get a cold elsewhere you don't cover your cough/sneeze? You're gross and that's clear now.

WTF are you talking about? This doesn't even make sense.

I'll explain the FUCK I'm talking about...

PP said that since we can catch herpes anywhere kissing is no big deal. I added that by her logic then we don't need to cover our cough or sneeze since we can catch a cold from other sources that's not someone's sneeze or cough. Got it or should I draw a picture?

I didn't grow up with it (Ohio) but my four year old has converted me. She always wants to smooch me on the lips. And I'm single, so she didn't pick it up from my romantic life!

Must be guilty. I'm from the south and kiss my DD on the lips all the time.

1. Mother's get their panties all in a wad -- the stroked out loos are priceless
2. My kids just about die

Then I can leave there a happy woman. My work here is done.

So you take pleasure in humiliating your child in public and disturbing others? That says a lot about you...

Yes. Thank you. *bows*

(And for the record, you will humiliate your kids just be breathing if you haven't figured that out yet. Most likely you disturb others by breathing too. Such is life)

How can you not kiss their baby lips?

I've sucked my husband's privates... Even though I've brushed after that I don't want that stuff on my baby's lips. Thank You!

I almost fainted when I saw my nanny kissing my child on the lips. I asked her not to do that anymore and she was fine with it. God knows where her mouth has been. Yuck!

Thank you!!!! I did not want to say it, but glad you did. The places your mouth have been, and you would want that on your child's lips? Do not care if you brush your teeth or not, it is nasty.

Southern here and I think it's gross. I remember being kissed on the lips once as a child by my Ema and being disgusted.
