To ban kissing my baby on the lips

[Nora2012]

I'm not sure if I'm the only person in the world who has this view but I hate when other people kiss my baby on the lips. My MIL is the main culprit and it makes my skin crawl. I won't deny that we don't get on, so that exasperates the issue, but it's not just a hello/goodbye kiss, she picks bet up and just slobbers all over her face. DD is only 6 months old but has started cringing, I'm sure she doesn't like it, she doesn't laugh. The MIL also smokes and although I won't allow DD near when she's actually smoking her breath constantly stinks of smoke. How do I approach this situation? My husband and I show DD affection all the time, so she's not lacking in love. I just feel she doesn't treat DD as a person with a right to her own personal space she just treats her like a doll who's just there for her to pull and poke.

I haven't gone back and checked but I'm pretty sure that nobody even mentioned kissing their own child on the lips until one poster came on and tied the you doing it and others doing it together,

And it wasn't someone who said they didn't do it it was someone who decided that if you don't want others to do it then it much mean you don't.

Quite probably the same person who threw out the it being sexual thing to make it look like such a silly concern.

Fag breath and kissing a baby bothers me more than kissing a baby per se.

Thanks Nanny I will cancel the DSs counselling session.

As a smoker myself - I would say no. Smoke and elements of the cig remain on the skin, clothes and face a long time after you have smoked..

YANBU. My FIL does it, and it drives me nuts! He knows I hate it, but nobody seems to takes him to task on it! Aaaagh!
