Kissing your kids...

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!

I do :-) Why ouldn't you?

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

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 :rofl:

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

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 :)

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.

My kids kiss me on the lips all the time, but I usually kiss them on their checks or forehead. I just feel a bit awkward. My parents had coldsores when we were growing up so I guess it's just habit that I don't. My parents managed to avoid giving us coldsores and I don't like other people kissing my kids on the lips for this reason though I think coldsore viruses can be passes on by kissing in general, not just on the lips.

Actually, I just remembered - DD1 sat on DH's lap the other day and asked for a kiss, which he gave her and she said 'No Daddy. Open your mouth.' DH was like no way. So she started trying to pry his mouth open with her fingers. :rofl: It was sooooo funny.

Sorry a bit off topic, but thought I would share. Poor DH didn't know what to do :)

kisses on lips here...slober and all :)

Give me the slobber kiss i say :)

I seriously think the world is getting out of control with the cabbage they are coming out with :shakehead:

I kiss my littlies on the lips, man they aim me up! lol
My big kids [well 2 of them that aren't emarressed to kiss their Mum lol] kiss me on the cheek, and I kiss them on the cheek.

Usually on the lips here with many cheeks and foreheads and hands for good measure. I think it is lovely.

Lippy kisses here too!
