Kissing on the lips

FinallyMrs.G · September 2011

My mom keeps kissing DD on the lips. I don't like this! I keep telling her she can kiss her on the cheek, forehead, anywhere else just not the lips. I don't want to hurt her feelings by really laying into her but she just won't listen. Do you let grandparents kiss your LO on the lips? Discuss please.

I have no idea why this is an issue.

It really doesn't bother me. I don't think they try to kiss her on the lips but she definitely goes for theirs. And with her big, sloppy kisses I worry more about them catching something than her.

Doesn't bother me that family kiss DS on the lips I personally don't see the issue with it??

Ew. I would not like that either.

People need to keep their herpes to themselves! lol

No one kisses Spencer on the lips, I think it's because he's a total sloppy kisser. I wouldn't want anyone doing anything with my child that I asked them not to.

Pretty much this--B is liable to slip you the tongue if you kiss her lips, and who wants that?

TBH, I don't really see why you'd care, but I do think you need to have a talk with her about respecting your wishes.

I don't really care if family does it. I don't see the problem with it, unless they are sick. No yucky sickies please!

I don't see an issue with kissing on the lips either, but if she doesn't want someone doing it to her kid, then they shouldn't.

I took her request for discussion to mean she wanted to know what I do. Me specifically. The rest of these hors just like seeing themselves type.

I don't see a problem with this, but my family is a bunch of lip kissers. My dad still actually tries to do a 'hello' peck on the lips with me but it's weirded me out for years so I've instituted the last-second head-turn. DH has learned to give all my aunts a lip peck when he sees them.

Babies = OK, but you gotta draw the line somewhere.

Hadley likes to give DH and I kisses on the lips and has for a long time. We are visiting family right now and Hadley has kissed my mom on the lips a couple of times. I don't care because it's my mom. Once she gets older this will stop though.

I kiss my kids on the lips all the time (both of them) and I don't plan on stopping. If other people (close friend/family) want to that doesn't bother me either, any many do!

I still kiss my Mom/Dad on the lips (little peck) when I see them...my DH does the same with his Mother.

I will probably cry if Nolan ever tries to push me away when I go in for a smooch.

It *is* your child though, so it is your rules.

Thank you!!

Doesn't bother me. Morgan doesn't really give people a choice either way. She loooooves to give big wet sloppy mouth kisses. She's a little hussy like that.

I don't think anyone does it in general. I will have Abigail "kiss" my mom because it's funny. She opens her mouth wide and slobbers her tongue. It cracks me up every time. I love my kid's sloppy kisses!

FinallyMrs.G · September 2011

Yes, I kiss her on the lips too. She's my daughter, I just don't like it when other people do. My mom gets cold sores, it freaks me out. I guess I shoild have mentioned that in the original post.

DD is pretty stingy with her kisses so if you get one on the lips, good for you. The only people that try are me and my mom. I don't see it as a problem unless one of us is sick. Then I ask my mom to just kiss her on the cheek.

TAMLVSCARL · September 2011

DH & I kiss my LO on the mouth but I don't want anyone else doing it even grandparents. I think you should say something again to her if she is still doing it, it's your child your rules.
