    My parents didn't, but I kiss DS on the lips all the time. I don't allow anyone else to though.

    @swurlygurl: the way you deacribed it made me think of the SNL skit!!!

    Chloe will kiss me on the mouth but not often. It's always a quick peck which she calls a smooch. No one else kisses her on the lips.

    I love my daughter's mouth kisses, they're so sweet She wakes me up that way in a morning. But I wouldn't mouth kiss the rest of my family or DH's. His are all into the Spanish kiss on each cheek, which I like, because you fully know what to expect and there's no awkward "should I kiss them? Shake hands?" Etc.

    DH's family and my family are both huggers only. I kiss LO on the mouth (too irresistible!), but will stop when she's older.

    I will if she goes in for one and I'm healthy! I tried to offer her my cheek and she kept trying for my mouth. lol. but I don't like anyone else to. and I won't as she gets older - I didn't grow up in a family that kissed on the mouth (adults -> kids)

    I didn't think I would, but the first time LO kissed me on the lips it was so sweet so now I love when she gives me kisses on the lips. I usually kiss her cheek or forehead if I'm kissing her, but it is the lips if she kisses me.

    Yep. We still kiss our 3yo DD on the lips. And our DS too!

    Mouth kissing anyone but DH totally weirds me out! I didnt grow up in a family of kissers, but in DH's family it is the norm. It makes me feel really awkward. I nearly died the first time his dad kissed me goodbye on the mouth.

    Also, I'm a germaphobe so I really don't want to mouth kiss anyone.

    We don't kiss on the lips but I sniff her baby's breath all the time. She kisses us on the cheeks and makes sound effects too, it sounds like " a muahhh a muahhhhh". Love it!

    I definitely do not kiss my LO on the lips. The only person I kiss on the lips is my husband. But I didn't grow up with it and I've always found it to be weird. (No offense to the majority of posters, obviously, everybody does what they feel comfortable with)

    Of course! I kinda can't believe people think this is weird but to each their own! It's just a peck - not anything like a romantic kiss. We're a family of lip kissers! Honestly getting kisses from LO on the lips is like, the best part of my day.

    Yuck, no. She's so slobbery and messy!

    Yes! He's started saying "more kisses! more kisses!" Who could refuse that?

    @sotofamilia: I'm with you!

    Mouth kisses are reserved for romantic kisses only. I find it totally bizarre that people do this with children/parents/siblings/etc! It's just not something my family ever did and I won't do it either.

    I did not want to do mouth kisses but DH started it with LO before I registered my opinion. While I enjoyed some kisses I hate wondering who else she's kissing when I'm not around. I'm relieved that daycare is shutting it down and teaching "thumb kisses" instead.

    @Andrea: I would be a big puddle on the floor if DD said that to me! So sweet!

    DD1 is just starting to give us kisses on the mouth (she's nearly 2) which we LOVE! I grew up in a family where we kissed on the mouth, until a certain age, can't remember when exactly, and I want to do the same with my kids. I also love kissing DD2's little mouth - so sweet!

    Pretty much my entire family except for me does mouth kisses, I just can't give them a non-romantic association in my head. My grandma still acts surprised sometimes when I re-angle myself to give her my cheek or forehead, but I'm not sure why since I've been doing that since about age 5! And it hasn't changed since having kids; mouth kissing is still only for my DH.

    @Andrea: So sweet!!!

    I always assumed family mouth kissing was the norm until a few months ago when someone on here mentioned that they didn't do this with their family! I grew up in a mouth kissing family (still kiss my mom like that) and we will kiss LO on the lips, too. I've already done it a few times, but I am a bit nervous about getting her sick so I try to limit it for now

    I imagine I will. I kiss my nieces on the mouth now... But they are still little. I imagine when they get older we won't.

    My family all kisses on the cheek, and DHs family is hit or miss m

    I never really grew up in an outwardly affectionate family and I didn't think I would but I do with my LO and I love it. Kisses are what you both assign to it - it doesn't have to mean romantic kisses. It just means I love you to my LO and I love it. I imagine it will stop once he's older but for now I am taking it as much as I can.

    i grew up in a family that did mouth kisses, and i do it with LO. i love it. he's so cute when he gives a kiss (which is rare). i don't think my husband is that comfortable with it though--haven't seen him kiss LO on the lips.

    No, kissing on the mouth to me is reserved for my husband. My parents never kissed me on the mouth.

    Our parents never did, so I'm not sure if we will or not. But then again, I kiss my dog on the mouth....

    Neither if us grew up with mouth kisses but we kiss J on the mouth. I love his slobbery smoochies!

    I did and I probably will in the future but right now D is turning his kisses into nibbles so cheek kisses are safer!

  34. MrsTiz

    cantaloupe / 6800 posts

    No. We're not mouth kissers. I'm not going to freak out if LO kisses me on the mouth when he's bigger but that isn't where I go to kiss him!

    My aunts/cousins are mouth kissers and it honestly disgusts me. My cousin is 32. Do not kiss me on the mouth, kthx. I told my parents not to kiss LO on the mouth because it gives me the heebs lol

    I kiss my kids on the mouth. I insist on it. They were inside my uterus and came out of my vagina... I will kiss them on the mouth until the day they ask me to stop.

    ETA: I grew up kissing my parents on the mouth but stopped probably around puberty?

    I grew up in a non-display of affection family, but I hug my friends all the time! I only kiss DS on the cheek, forehead, belly, etc., but not on the lips. However, when I ask DS for a kiss, there's a chance he'll plant one on my lips. His kisses are rare right now, so I'll take it if it's on the lips!

    @mrs. wagon: lol exactly. I feel the same way

    I don't, mostly because I don't want him doing it to anyone else.
