This thread reminds me of a comment my Mum made once
"you should never kiss a baby on the lips"
It came from generations ago when there were lots of diseases that were fatal back then such as Colds, Flu, Polio, Chicken Pox and all the things that there are now immunisations for now.
It came about as you never new you had the virus until you were gravely ill, so kissing a baby on the lips thus passing on your saliva would then give them the whatever you had and usually ended up fatal.
On saying that....I kiss heaps and heaps! Not always on the lips, everwhere I can. I loove kissing my kids and they giggle and squirm when I just can't stop!

I kiss their forehead, but when they come to kiss me it's on the lips. I'm not sure why I don't kiss them on the lips? lol.
Registered User
Umm no I don't. Dunno why, I've never actually thought about it. I was told never to kiss a newborn on the lips, and I dunno - I kiss my kids a lot, on their cheeks, neck, forehead, back of head,.... but yeah, never their lips.

On the lips here!! My whole family kisses on the lips. I kiss my mum and dad and brothers on the lips, lol. But not other people, then I'd be really strange. We were talking about this the other day with my mum's partner whose family don't kiss on the lips, they think it's gross and weird. I think they are weird for thinking anything strange about kissing a child on the lips.

I am not comfortable with kissing kids on the lips. I much prefer kisses on forehead or cheeks or arms or feet.
I am extremely uncomfortable with people other than parents kissing kids on the lips.

lots of lip kisses here, kisses all over really. i think it's a sad world we live in if some people frown upon it.

:yeahthat: if people don't like that i kiss my baby on her lips then they shouldn't look nobody has the right to tell another person how they show their affection for their children.
And i kiss my neices and nephews on the lips, they come running up to me give me a hug and then a kiss. I've never thought of it as weird its just the way the family is. We greet each other with a hug and a kiss on the cheek but the kids are different. But we wouldn't let people outside of the family do it though.

I don't like people kissing me on the lips, unless it's Scott. I don't expect I'll mind much when it's my own baby kissing me in that gorgeous slobbery way, but I always get grossed out when family or friends try to kiss me anywhere but the cheek. Yuck.

OH MY GOSH, i just wathed this same thing and i sat there with y mouth open,i just couldnt understand what they were talking about....as if they weren't even talking english!!!! of course i kiss my children on the lips! they are my children! who the hell do people think they are to tell others that they can not kiss their children.
I know there is alot of child abuse in the world, but lets not make ever single parent feel to afraid to show affection to thier children incase some one screams child abuse! there is a right and wrong way to stop child abuse and stoping every loving parent being with a metre of thier own child...whom they love and protect daily....is the wrong way!!!!!
I havent read all the posts, but i felt so stongly about this, sorry if i offend anyone!
'DS is a lip kisser and so is DD3 (Ruby). DDs1 & 2 are happy with forehead kisses but DD3 MUST have lip kisses (she chases your mouth for them ITMS). DS comes up to me and goes MMMMMMMMMMMMwah! until I kiss him.

Good point Teni. I also don't like lip kisses except from DH. For those who are comfortable with lip kissing, is lip kissing also common in their friend/family circles?

And that is gorgeous! Why would anyone think that this is gross?
Heres a comment i read on the forum that made my blood boilThe bold bit is what made me so mad, how dare they tell us how we show affection to our children and to make it dirty! i was kissed as a child, when being dropped off at school we had to kiss our mum good bye. I was never embarassed or thought "wrong thoughts" because shes my mum.I think kissing a child on the lips is unacceptable. Why kiss them on the mouth when they have two cheeks and a forehead? I believe that kissing a child on the lips should not be associated with a show of affection from a parent. Television shows our children kissing on the mouth associated with sexual feelings. Let's not confuse our children.

I'm not really comfortable doing it, for me it's the saliva thing..I don't even like DF's saliva on my lips...just a thing I have i guess! I've probably only kissed DD on the lips a few times. usually it's her cheeks because they are just so cute and squishy!
I don't have a problem with other parents kissing their kids on their lips, I just don't like doing it myself.
Registered User
I don't do it, but i don't think anything is wrong with it!

I agree, its comments like the one you posted that make innocent things in the world dirty and sexualised, its similar to peoples issues with breastfeeding and saying that breast are for husbands and not for babies, that is society bending reality into some wierd sexual world where we cant do what is natural and normal....
On the view they also said that a parent should not bath/shower with thier child as this too was wrong....well, DD bathes with either one of us EVERY day!

I don't like kissing other ppl on the lips though
Yesterday DD was sucking on the side of my chin, looked in the mirror a big purple love bite LOL oh the love
Registered User
yep, all for the kiss on the lips for the kids, baby ones are the cutest!!! however we have just had a "talk" with ds1 that a little kiss like mummy and daddy give you is a good kiss, but you dont try kiss your brother the way some people do. (u know the love sick ones that cant keep there mouths off each other, even at the shop or on the train.) and yes that talk was interesting to say the least!
