Hopefully forever - she will always be a baby to me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-too-old-1#post-703915 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:08:16 +0000 Ra 703915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 29 and still kiss my parents on the lips. I don't understand why that's weird? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-too-old-1#post-703911 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:06:54 +0000 Mrs. Tea 703911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just realized I don't do this even now...I kiss my daughter about a million times a day but not on the lips. I didn't grow up with it so it must have carried over to my mothering as well. </p> <p>However I think you should do it as long as you and your lo feel comfortable with it! If you do it for your entire life then so be it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-too-old-1#post-703907 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:05:15 +0000 googly-eyes 703907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just off the top of my head? Maybe 3-4? I don't really have much of an opinion on it though.</p> <p>Personally....I've never smooched DD on the lips on purpose! I'm always afraid that something on my lips might be something that will get her sick... Adults' mouths have loads of bacteria in them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-too-old-1#post-703895 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 20:58:28 +0000 matador84 703895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>NEVERRR! Just kidding! I can't imagine not smooching my DS, but you are right, probably 5 or 6, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-too-old-1#post-703890 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 20:56:39 +0000 Raindrop 703890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a very cute thread! I try to kiss LO on the lips but he has never really let me... he always turns his head away right when I try to plant one on him since he pretty much born. He's 1 yrs old now and I still try to plant one on his lips before he quickly moves his head away. He's a sneaky one... he almost always turns his head away at the last moment and I get a mouth full of ear. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-too-old-1#post-703821 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 20:23:48 +0000 Mrs.B 703821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 4 and I still kiss him on the lips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-too-old-1#post-703817 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 20:22:15 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 703817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: lol that's my plan too!! At least with DD. might be weird to kiss my 30-yo son on the lips though! What would his future wife think (though he's not allowed to marry til he's 50 hehe). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-too-old-1#post-703710 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:42:07 +0000 mamabolt 703710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're a lip kissing family, still do it at 30! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-too-old-1#post-703705 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:40:13 +0000 lovehoneybee 703705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They aren't my LOs but I kiss my nieces (12 and 7) on the lips. And my MIL/FIL kisses us both on the lips pretty regularly. I plan on doing it until he asks me not to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-too-old-1#post-703695 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:36:58 +0000 deerylou 703695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I often still kiss my parents on the lips, and I'm 27. I greet most of my extended family and close friends with kisses on the cheeks. I'll probably just follow LO's lead on this one, but we're an affectionate family, so I see no problem with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-too-old-1#post-703676 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:29:26 +0000 MrsTiz 703676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-too-old-1#post-703657 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:23:21 +0000 Mrs. Twine 703657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel pretty strongly that it's fine up to any age as long as the child is comfortable! My family was not a lips-kissing family, so it would feel totally strange to me at this point. But I do with my girls, and Ellie is six and it doesn't bother her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-too-old-1#post-703655 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:22:16 +0000 mrsmenow 703655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest is about to turn 11 and to be honest it got weird probably maybe two years ago or so. It just felt weird to both of us I think, you can tell when the time has come-if it never does then great, but for us one day she just seemed too old for it:( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-too-old-1#post-703651 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:20:03 +0000 sarac 703651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kissed my father on the lips the day he died - I was 28. So long as no one finds it weird, I say never. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-too-old-1#post-703648 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:17:54 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 703648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mmmm....like 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-too-old-1#post-703643 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:15:38 +0000 yin 703643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Too sad to even think about the day when he will no longer want my kisses. I'll keep kissing him until he asks me to stop, which I hope is never. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-too-old-1#post-703639 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:13:26 +0000 winniebee 703639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww makes me sad to think about stoping! Though he just sort of open mouth kisses me at this point :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-too-old-1#post-703632 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:10:17 +0000 jmarionsmith 703632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH is forever kissing LO on the lips (I do, as well) but he said "I know it won't be acceptable for me to do it for long so I'm going to do it as much as I can until then." I thought it was so sweet! But I think as long as the kid is cool with it, it's fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-too-old-1#post-703629 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:07:55 +0000 chopsuey 703629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: yes!!!!!

I hope not for a while lol. I'm gonna sound like a creeper but I love my kids lips and kissing them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-too-old-1#post-703612 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 18:59:31 +0000 T.H.O.U. 703612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good question. I know this came up at daycare with the teachers in the 2 yr room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-too-old-1#post-703610 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 18:58:14 +0000 Dandelion 703610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 5 and told his dad he didn't want to kiss him on the lips anymore, recently...I think it got awkward for the kid, especially since his dad doesn't see him a whole lot.</p> <p> I think I stopped around 3, for some reason, but I do kiss his cheek or the top of his head. And I'll probably always hug him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-too-old-1#post-703608 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 18:58:04 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 703608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 30 and my mom is still kissing me on the lips!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-too-old-1#post-703603 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 18:56:37 +0000 chopsuey 703603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To kiss your Lo on the lips?<br /> I'm thinking I'll keep kissing my kids til they're 6?<br /> Or til they tell me to stop :P :( </p>
