Chistmas confession RE: Kissing LO on lips

kit443

This post the other day really got me thinking. I have never kissed my LO on the lips. The thought never even crossed my mind. That makes me feel terrible! I grew up in a home that didn't show affection to each other of any kind. I can see how parenting traits can be passed on without one even being aware. I want my DS to get all the love from his mommy that he wants/needs/can handle. I spent a day really feeling like a bad mom - mostly because I promised myself that DS will grow up in a home completely different then the one I grew up in. Needless to say I have been giving him so many kisses lately - he LOVES them, and that makes me really happy.

Merry Christmas bumpies!

PS. This isn't to offend those that don't kiss LO's on lips. I am not saying that your LO is not getting affection. That was just a piece of the puzzle in my family.

I kiss my DD a million times a day lol! I still kiss my parents goodbye when I see them and I am 31! My sisters and I also kiss. But not like that weird SNL skit where the family is way too affectionate! Merry Christmas and give your lo a kiss!

Aww, that so doesn't make you a bad mom! I'm sure that your LO will know your love any way, any how!

Merry Christmas!
