Eh? I kiss my DS1 age 9 on the lips.

Marthasmama · 24/04/2009 22:45

I always kiss my son on the lips. Why is it wrong? I'd have told her to bugger off! Strange woman.

Poledra · 24/04/2009 22:47

What? Now the parenting police are saying where one is permitted to kiss one's own child?? I'd be in trouble all the time - I kiss my children on the lips, the tummy, anywhere they've bumped to make it all better (which led to kissing DD2's bottom yesterday when she fell over and sat down heavily on a toy car )

hmc · 24/04/2009 22:47

She is clearly warped and perverted to interpret this in any way negatively. Stupid twunt.

crokky · 24/04/2009 22:47

I kiss my DS (3yo) and my DD (1yo) on the lips. My DH kisses them on the lips as well.

The woman who told you it is wrong is just strange. OK if she doesn't want to kiss her own DC on the lips, but very strange to force views on someone else over this.

Disenchanted3 · 24/04/2009 22:47

I kiss all 3 of mine on the lips,

SHES a weirdo!

angelene · 24/04/2009 22:47

What? How bizarre. I think she's the one with the fucking problem!

Twinklemegan · 24/04/2009 22:52

I'll admit I tend not to kiss DS on the lips, simply because I remember hating it as a child, but if he kisses me on the lips I certainly don't turn away or anything. What a strange thing to say?!

notoverit · 24/04/2009 22:53

I dont understand why that would be wrong? did she have a reason for it?

I have to admit I never liked anyone to kiss dd when she was very little other then me and her dad. But now she is older I am happy for her to kiss all family members.

But I cannot understand any reason why a mother should not kiss her own child on the lips??

I kiss my dd so many times during one day I loose count. And she loves kissing me too, I say get as many kisses as possible before they decide they dont want to kiss you...

katiepotatie · 24/04/2009 23:01

she's a weirdo! kiss away all you like, children all get to an age when they don't want kissed. Enjoy it while you can. I kiss my dd all the time on the lips

Nighbynight · 24/04/2009 23:07

some families do kiss children on the lips and others dont. we dont.

BirdyArms · 24/04/2009 23:07

Weird. I kiss my mum, my dad and my sister on the lips as well as DSs. I am trying to remember whether or not I kissed my dad on the lips as a teenager, I think we just all kissed each other on the lips when we went to bed and never got out of the habit. I like it now, it feels like evidence of our closeness.

tigerdriver · 24/04/2009 23:09

She's a silly nitwit. Do what you want to do.

I wouldnt kiss my dad or mum on the lips though however, I am not a tiny

geraldinetheluckygoat · 24/04/2009 23:10

she is a loon, even if she wouldn't do it herself, how would she think it's ok to comment on your doing it??????? ds1 kisses me on the lips quite dramatically all the time, so what??

nappyaddict · 24/04/2009 23:10

she's a freak

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 24/04/2009 23:12

I wasn't planning on kissing my DCs on the lips but they each took the choice away from me as toddlers!

shudders slightly at recall of snottery kisses

stickylittlefingers · 24/04/2009 23:12

you're not weird at all and she's a sticky beak (which you wouldn't want to kiss)

BirdyArms · 24/04/2009 23:15

Can't bear the thought of my boys not kissing me for years. I am going to enforce kissing their parents when they go to bed as basic manners along with please and thank you. I will have to have a chat with dh about this, he will think it's weird as he doesn't come from a family of kissers.

notoverit · 24/04/2009 23:18

Also if my dd happens to see anyone snogging on tv she sometimes comes over to me and gives me loads and loads of kisses on he lips, she is snogging me in her own way...

Actually I do not kiss my mum and dad onthe lips and cannot remember evering doing that. But my mum and dad were not very kissy cuddly people and didnt tell us they loved us alot. So I wanted to be diferent with my dd, and I tell her I love her all the time and kiss and cuddle her all the time.

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 25/04/2009 00:34

Sorry, BirdyArms, there will (almost certainly) be a stage when your boys won't even talk to you, far less kiss you goodnight. It's called early teenhood.

Make the most of kissing and cuddling your los while you can.

LissyGlitter · 25/04/2009 00:41

I try and kiss my dd on the lips, but she doesn't often let me. I don't tend to get a kiss off her when I ask for it, it has to be on her terms, she will very suddenly run over and kiss my arm or whatever for no apparent reason. Doesn't stop her kissing her pram whenever we go past it though

lottiebunny · 25/04/2009 00:47

I kiss my Mum on the lips. My favourite thing in the world is to snuggle up in bed with Mum and watch shit morning telly. I am 21 years old.

This woman is the weirdo not you. What is wrong with being close to your children?
