I only kiss my kids on the lips when they initiate, and the older ones don't do it anymore. It's sweet that my 7 yo dd still wants to! My parents were the same.

My old-school, English FIL is very reserved and not super affectionate, but it melts my heart that he still kisses my DH on the cheek when he says goodbye to him. I hate the criticism dads get for being affectionate to their kids. We have bigger fish to fry.

I've never kissed my kids on the lips, and we're otherwise a pretty snuggly.

It’s really disgusting now we know some of the people who frequent this websitec

yeah that is the most unsanitary things for kids

I am going to be a little sad when my kid makes me stop. There's something so innocent about little kid kisses, before the world perverts it.

+1 but dd is now objecting to the top of the head kiss so that doesn't last forever

Sometimes it lasts longer than it should. My 25-year-old 6'1" DS still leans down and presents his forehead for me to kiss lol.
