to think VB kissing Harper on the lips

[Teapot101]

is ick to say the least! We used to have an aunt who went in for lip smackers which required a strategic twist of the head at the last minute. Sorry, I find it yuck. (I love kissing my children and hugging them lots)

There was a terrible train crash yesterday, so what is today's click bait
Ye Gods a mother kissing her daughter on the lips.
That is not worth a second thought, don't sweat the small stuff and use your energies to help people.

I personally find kissing your child on the cheek very cold and would only do that with friends. I still kiss my mother and did my grandmother on the lips.
Different strokes for different folks.
Pointless thread!

No Thorn, icky doesn't imply 'a person still thinks like a bloody toddler'

Look it up in the dictionary. It means unpleasant, nasty or distastefully sentimental.

I saw this opinion circulating on Facebook too. Personally I think its ick / disheartening / pathetic / infuriating, that we live in a society where a mother is berated on social media for kissing her child.

Thankfully most of the posters on this thread have reassured me that there are some sensible people left in the world.

I think it's lovely. I gt big snotty, sloppy smackers from DS all the time. It's lovely.

I get that some people don't kiss their family but I don't get why they care that others do.

MWAH OP XXXXX

I know what it means, it's obvious, but I've never heard a grown up use it.

I stupidly hoped this would be To think that VB kissing her daughter on the lips.... Is not news?

I wouldn't kiss family on the lips. I would be uncomfortable with anyone kissing someone on the lips if that person is not happy with it.

But a mother and daughter peck is nothing for anyone to get their knickers in a twist over!

I can't say for sure but I'm pretty certain there's a few things going on in the world a bit more 'icky' then a loving mother sharing an affectionate moment with her daughter.

YABU. It is a kiss from a Mother to a Daughter.

I don't need a dictionary maybe you need a thesaurus to come up with a better word!

Guess i find it strange because my parents wouldn't have done it so it's not normal behaviour.

Oh of course. Your parents and your family are completely the arbiters of normal.

Jeez Louise.

It's not ick. HTH.

normal
ˈnɔːm(ə)l/Submit
adjective
1.
conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected.

Normal to me. Apologies for being brought up wrong!

Seriously?!

I understand that not everyone kisses their dc on the lips but I never in a million years thought that anyone on the planet would find it 'icky' or distasteful in any way! It is simply showing affection! And that is all that VB is doing for god's sake. I can't believe this is even being discussed.

I personally was never hugged/kissed growing up, we were a close family but just didn't show affection in a physical way. I, on the other hand, am constantly kissing dd- on the lips, on the cheek, on the forehead, everywhere!

You sound like my teen when she says "I didn't ask to be born!" apolgies for being brought up wrong

What a wierd post.

The Beckhams are obviously a lovely family and to put dirty fingers into other people's happy lives says more about you op than about them.

You need to look at yourself and change.

So is it weird that I still kiss my mum on the lips at 23????

Of course YABU. The only 'ick' here is in the minds of the steaming weirdos who think a parent kissing their child's lips is somehow wrong.

nedstark you are clearly a perv

My 10 year old dd must be a bit pervy too.
OP I think you need to re-evaluate your views.

Lip kisses ( pecks) for those you love, cheek kisses for everyone else. Full on snogs are a different bucket of frogs and only shared with DP 😀

This again?
Personally I think the people who find kissing your child on lips odd are the odd ones.

The Beckhams are obviously a lovely family

Really?

But then I suppose people are starting to forget about the business with their 'personal assistant'...

And that's relevant to their relationships with their children how?

Dunno. But it's relevant to them being a 'lovely family'.
