Q: Kissing a child on the lips?

My grandma thinks that kissing your child on the lips is wrong. Am I wrong to think that there are different kisses for different people? She thinks that we should only kiss our children on the cheek. what do you think?

i guess it just depends on the person.. i think that it is fine for young children but to make it a point to let them know when they get older that you dont do that to anyone.. i kiss my daughter on the lips..

I tend not to kiss on the lips but that's just my preference. I hate the human mouth. I am surprised that I let Dan kiss me.

I think it's fine if you're not doing it in a creepy way and you brush your teeth and if it doesn't bother them. I kiss my daughter all over and she loves it.

I do it and I don't see a problem with it but Neil thinks it's 'sick' and hates that I do it. May just be a cultural thing as he is Portuguese

I think it's fine up to a certain age, then it just seems inappropriate to me.

I am Afrikaans, so when we get together with other Afrikaans friends and family everyone kisses on the lips to say hello and goodbye. So I kiss other adults on the lips, well other Afrikaans adults. That is just the culture I was raised in. It's fine with kids too. When did a small kiss become dirty and shameful?

My thought exactly!

I kiss Oni on the lips and don't see anything wrong with it.

I still kiss my mom on the lips.

I wouldn't allow strangers to kiss Oni on the lips. and I don't make her kiss EVERYONE when we leave. Only those who she's very close to.

She won't kiss a stranger anyways...lol! She'll let them kiss the top of her head!

I also let Oni kiss Nya on the lips.

I still kiss my mum on the lips too, and my sister it's normal to me. My nephew always insists on kissing us all when we're leaving, he lines us up in height order then asks to be picked up
