And I kiss my dad on the lips, my mom too. I kiss some of my friends that way too. Just how we roll....

I come from a family of lip kissers. My DH doesn't. When I was probably around 9 I wasn't OK with kissing my dad/gpa on the lips anymore and it stopped. Its the same way many familys hug/snuggle kids a lot when they're little but as the kids get older and more independent, that physical affection starts to change. They change how they are affectionate with people, esp girls to dads. Don't worry about it.

Don't worry about it. I am 32 years old and I still kiss my Dad on the lips as well as my Mom and all of my Grandparents. Now I don't kiss my two older brothers, but I don't think I ever did. I guess it just depends on how your family was raised. I can't remember if I did it when I was a teenager or not. Probably not as much b/c well your parents are "embarrassing" enough. SD is 10 and she still kisses H on the lips. I think it is sweet as long as it was a quick peck, anything longer I might question and would probably gross me out.

I come from a family of hugs only. I cant ever remember kissing my parents. The thought of that creeps me out. But thats me. I know other familys that kiss kiss kiss and thats the way they are. No big deal. I think if you are not used to that type of behavior it will take a little while to get used to. On my end if my DH did that with his kids it would also make me sick. But he is not a kissy person, so that works for me.

I agree with yuck. But thats how some families are. Its just with whatever they are comfortable with. Myson kissed me on the lips until he was about 3/12-4, then he moved to the cheek. Once they aren't little kids anymore I get grossed out by it, personally. But some do i their whole lives. I would try to let it go.

Just my opinion of course. I used to kiss my Mom and Dad on the lips when I was a child but as I get in to my teens and 20's it progressed to the French cheek kiss thing with a firm hug thrown in.

Odds are that it will stop by the early to mid teens.

Crayon ...... the tongue thing is just gross!!!!!!!!! :jawdrop:

Best regards,

This is to weird you brought this up, because we where just talking about this is my house. We do not allow skid to kiss any of us on the lips. We see skids mom kiss her on the lips which is gross to me. BM has herpes so I don't think she should be kissing my skid anywhere. We dont kiss skid on the lips because we dont want to catch anything BM has. We understand its not skids fault but we shouldnt get something or our children for that matter.

My 5 yr old step daughter kisses both her father and I on the lips. I think its a little yucky but I deal with it because she's little and she initiates it. Our 13 and 9 year old girls would never attempt this so I agree that they grow out of it with age.

Kiss my parents and grandmother on the lips... Its just a quick peck when arriving or leaving and usually followed by saying I love you. So I guess it depends on the family and the children.

I am 38 and always kissed by mom on the lips until she passes away. I never kissed my papa or grandparents on the lips. My BS17 stopped giving my any kind of affection when he was about 10. Instead of a hug at school, I gave him a high five. Once and a while he will still hug me if I do something extra wonderful for him but that is few and far between. I kiss my FSS1 on the lips but he keeps his mouth closed and drool free so no biggie. My BD8 still kissed me on the lips but I am not sure about her dad. BD13 does not kiss anyone, only an occational hug but she has to ask for it.

family member, but let their dog lick their lips all the time.

B/c I totally get giving your family a kiss, and though I don't remember the last time I kissed anyone buy DH or BD 3 on the lips, I don't have any problem with it.

BUT....when my dog tries to lick anywhere near my face - NO WAY. That one I never can get. The whole "cleanest mouths" thing? WIVES TALE. Dirty. A dog's tongue is it's washcloth!

So...I'm pretty sure this is a to each their own category.

When i 1st met the kids i didn't really notice it then as time has gone on i noticed him one day kiss them both bye on the lips one girl is 11 and the other 15 i stood in shock and thought wow how odd. I know people kiss goodbye but i thought it would be a peck on the cheek or a hug but now kiss on the lips... i find it very odd and i have mentioned it but he just got grumpy with me.

It needs to stop i feel!

My SS kisses me on the lips I hate it I think its weird, my future mother in law will also aim for there and give me a smacker if I dont turn my head in time. I refuse to let SD kiss anywhere but my cheek she tries for a lip smacker but as I dont like her I find her encroaching on my personal space even just a little bit repulsive so there is no way she is getting that intimate with me she only ever gets my cheek when she kisses me goodbye or goodnight.

Which I'm not crazy about, but what I REALLY hate is when she kisses BD14 and BS18 on the lips. And most of the time they are long (although closed-mouth) kisses. Loooong...as in 5-10 seconds. BS18 usually stops her when it gets weird but BD14 puts up with it until I have to say, "Enough SD8!" She clings onto everyone in the house and my BS18 has told me how uncomfortable it makes him. She doesn't cling onto me much because I have told her ENOUGH several times. I don't mind hugs and even a kiss on the cheek sometimes but she gets SO in your face. I swear she ADHD sometimes.

and my SS and I give kiss on lips. However it is a quick peck not an open mouth slober kiss. He will pat me or say StepG and when I look at him he has his lips puckered up tightly closes and no sooner than the his lips touch mine they are removed...because it was a pecl.I kissed my mom and dad when and grandparents on the lips in the same manner until they died(grandparents)or no longer had contact(mother) my dad I sitll do and my stepmom I do. In fact H, SS, and myself have what we call the XXX(insert our last name) Smooch where H will pick SS up and we will all 3 as best we can give that peck on the lips at the same time. I find nothing gross or sick about this. In fact we laugh because I am pregnant and we say how will we be able to do this with four people. I do not see the big deal with the peck

I'm a mom and I've always kissed my BS8 on the lips for hello and goodbye, except when he started getting embarrassed in front of his friends at school so I stopped doing it in front of others but he will still kiss me hello or goodbye if we are alone. But I'm newly remarried and have a SS9 who likes to kiss me goodnight on the lips and it makes me a little uncomfortable. He's a very sweet boy but I think he's overly touchy with everyone. He often just comes and gives hugs for no reason (to even his dad). He greets me at the door and gives me hugs before my own son does so I don't know if I should be concerned. Should I suggest he kiss me on the cheek when I still kiss my son on the lips? They are always (with BS and SS) closed lips and quick pecks. My mom has always kissed my on the lips and I kiss my BS and H on the lips but I am uncomfortable when anyone else tries to kiss me on the lips.

My SS7 kisses BM on the mouth, but I explained to him that I am uncomfortable with that and if he wants to give me or my daughter kisses they should be on the cheek or the forehead only. He understood and that's how it happens for me.

Kids kissing me on the lips is right up there with letting a dog lick me on the mouth. YUCK and NO WAY!!!!!!! Kids are kind of yucky to me, like slobbery and stuff and dogs well, we all know where their mouths have been. I love my dog and thank God he is not a licker!

I think kissing on the mouth is an intimate thing only to be shared by two people who are married, in some kind of relationship or dating situation...not kids and family members.

That's just me, of course. To each his own!

***Now my husband shares toothbrushes with SD12 and SD15 and I think THAT IS NASTY!!
