that i find it wierd that my dh kisses my mum on the lips

[nellyfin]

he has done it for years, and ive never said anything but when my dh and my mum say hello / goodbye etc they kiss on the lips. is that weird????

it would look odd now,if they stopped? Cause a problem when there wasn't one to start with?

Yuck, I hate people kissing on the lips (unless it's dh, obviously). Ds's old nanny taught him to kiss on the lips and took me ages to break him of the habit. I didn't want to say anything to her and hurt her feelings but it's just wrong. And horrid.

My uncle (by marriage) who is now in his eighties always kisses me on the lips - and licks his lips first.

It is beyond minging.

I wouldn't like it, a bit too personal for me!

What's wrong with a handshake? This kissing lark is all very continental.

I come from a long line of uptight, prudish English folks and cannot fathom how to kiss somebody hello and goodbye. There's the inevitable crash of noses, stepping on feet, do you hug afterwards, don't you, am I minty fresh? etc etc. It's just unnecessary.

its when he sticks his tongue in you should be worried. or when your mother does.

My FIL does it to me, for a while i tried to avoid it but he always manages it

he knows hes doing it as hes said in the past 'not on the lips i have a coldsore' like i want it!!

he also progressed to smaking my bum last week ...

nice

LOL - Custardo!

youre right tigi - would be awkward to bring it up now. If i mentioned it to dh, it would be like i was insinuating something was going on and the next time they said hello/goodbye he would be all on edge and go for the cheek but mum would still go for the lips, and if she got there first he would shoot me a look as if to say "it wasnt MY fault", and mum would be like "WHAT?" then id have to explain to her, and SHE would be embarassed and then all hellos/goodbyes from then on would be all WRONG. probably best to just leave them to it. But i WILL watch out for tongues...

My mother can't do cheek kissing ! I think it's coz she wasn't brought up with it or something - but she always tries to go for the lips - I hate it !!! Avoiud it as much as poss !

Mind you I kiss my dd on the lips all the time !! She'll be on here later moaning about me !!

I would find it weird if dh kissed my mother on the lips though - but in my case I would assume it was due to my mother's incompetent kissing !

That's really odd. My BIL once kissed my mumon the lips but it was one of those cringy accidental going for the cheek kisses. He was mortified

Eew, I alway try and avoid hello goodbye kisses. DH rarely kissed my mum except Christmas and such. But his family live further away and I only ever have to kiss his mum, I hide behind DH when it comes to his dad as before now we have gone the same way

Definatley something I am not happy with

I did once touch my MILs boob but I was pished and I was actually trying to put my arm round her but I did say out loud "sorry didnt mean to touch your baps there"

yeuch! op grosses me out

[barf emoticon]

hehe

last night my BIL was leaving and i was giving my sis a kiss byebye and for some reason i kissed him on the cheek now im not going to know what to do at 'goodbyes', like id started something, sooo awkward lol

am really chuckling at this thread! pmsl laughing kitty!

my MIL has hugged me ONCE after the m/c, and then hurried away like she didn't know what to do! not very touchy feely thank god!

can't imagine dh ever touching my mum, although obviously i hug and kiss (on the cheek!) my parents all the time!

highly inappropriate and weird imo

erm. odd I reckon.

Yuk!

very weird imo a bit little britainish maybe

my mother would do it to me and I am 43 now. Not nice at all. I just turn my cheek now and kiss her on her cheek.
I think it is just a sign of affection maybe a generational thing whereas we being younger tend to look at it differently?

fuck off

Some families kiss on the lips.

Personally, I find it weird as hell, especially if someone else's child wants to try to kiss me on the lips. No, thank you! If they really want to kiss me, they can kiss me on the cheek. That's it.
