to be pig sick of my son KISSING ME

[JustHecate]

every bloody time he's after something!

"can we go out"
"can I have a sweet"
"can I have (more) supper"
"can I have

Is he two or sixteen? This makes all the difference.

Oh hang on; no it doesn't. YANBU. Where did he learn this hideous habit?

he's 11

He figured it out all by himself, the sod.

It now goes
him

me "what do you want?"

Ds2 was like that the other day. I had grounded him. The bloody creep.

He then sent me 3 texts (which I ignored)

1. Hello... Sorry for going out yesterday, I won't do it again. Please can I go out today pleeeease.

1. Please

1. Hello????

YANBU. DS does it a lot at the moment, largely because he knows it annoys me (he likes to try and kiss me on the lips which I hate) but also because he is in the middle of a hugely Oedipal period which I know I will miss when it goes. It will be odd when I can kiss dh without having ds lunge across the room to push us apart.

Aww- what wouldn't I give for a kiss from DS (12 yo PFB)

If he gives me a cuddle it's tempered with a quick squeeze of my muffin top, and the words "Chubb Chubb" affectionately whispered in my ear.

I kissed DH before I left for work. I asked DS for a kiss :"No"

If he wants something he sits on my knee (not cuddly BTW very bony child) or wants a high cuddle. And even at his age I can still lift him!

Children learn their behaviour from others so who does this? Someone must have set the example!

When I want to kiss my boys I get a head proffered forward and that's about it

They reach a certain age (I noticed this at school) where the hugs they give you when they leave or come hareing out of class become a bodyswerve.

It's just not the done thing to kiss your son in the playground after this.
I think though, as long as they are affectionate at home then it's fine. They usually go into affection overdrive in their teens. (So mums of teens tell me).
DD is completely the opposite. Have to sever the cord with her

oh gawd yes. My eldest son prefers that I pretend we barely know each other in public If I so much as tried to hug him, I think he'd have an attack of the vapours but he is very cuddly in private. Genuinely so. Not 'means to an end' like younger offspring

ring - nowhere, honestly. It's just a thing he's come up with he lunges at me, kisses me and then asks me for whatever it is he wants.

There isn't actually any affection in it, tbh. He just thinks that it will get him what he wants

Don't get me wrong folks, I am not actually seriously complaining about any of this! I think it's funny that he thinks he can manipulate me by starting any request with a kiss
