Kissing your kids...

[Muffy]

Im watching "the View' on tv at the min and they are having a discussion about parents kissing their kids on the lips...

Do you?
Why or why not?

I do, i've never known it to be any other way!

[Catastrophic]

I do :-) Why ouldn't you?

[BrightSparkles]

Me too! But avoid it when she's slobering on me! LOL

[jesses_girl]

smack bang on his big lips, even if he drools on me lol

[Muffy]

i thought i was wierd!! haha they were saying some people think its innapropriate.. like the father kissing his daughter on the lips etc..

Lip kisses all round here, even big open mouth sloppy kisses from DD2, I love them all

[Enchanted]

Usually a lip kiss before bed or sometimes just because but otherwise it's just little cheek or forehead kisses.

I don't agree with other people kissing my kids on the lips. I find it repulsive.

I dont mind my family kissing the kids on the lips, my mum, sister etc.. but no one else

I think that's probably the issue - how do the kids know when it is okay NOT to accept a kiss on the lips? But in saying that, its so awfully cute when DD comes up to me for one!!

We are a family of kisses, LOL!! DD & DS are very into kisses at the moment. DD will tell you where she want her kiss where DS just come straight for you mouth open, drooling everywhere and slobbers all over your lips. It's just gorgeous!! I'm ok with family and extremely close friends kissing my kids but no one else.

Most of the time its me kissing them usually on the forehead, cheeks etc. but today before she went to bed I said GIMME A KISS and it was a lip kiss. So cute. Were they debating if it was the thing to do or not?? I've never really thought about it before. J goes the whole mouth open fish kiss so I prefer to kiss him on the chubba cheeks than end up saturated

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!

I kiss dd on the cheek and almost always she opens her mouth and faces me and the kiss ends up being on the lips. Absolutely nothing wrong with it! Its adorable!

[~Serenity~]

I kiss my kids on the lips and all over their head lol

I think of ppl find it dirty or sexual they have a bad mind I do understand how ppl would find it gross from the germs side of things cos god knows you often get a side order of boogers or slobbers with it too
