I kiss my own baby...but I'm his Mommy. BUT last week, his teacher at daycare kissed him quickly 3 times on the mouth while I was holding him! She obviously doesn't think there is a problem if she is doing it while I'm holding him. It really bothered me. I've been thinking about it ever since.
Would this bother you? Should I say something?
Ugh! Thanks.
Re: Kissing infants on the mouth...
Maybe I am weird, but I don't even kiss my own DD on the mouth. I know some families do it, but mine never did so I don't do it with DD.
Hmmm...I don't know how to phrase it to the teacher and not sound hurtful.
Wow, I would definitely be bothered! It's one thing for a parent to kiss their baby on the mouth, but holy spreading germs!
Maybe you should talk to the director of the preschool - I worked at a preschool when I was in college and there was a "no kissing" rule. Teachers were allowed to hug, but not kiss.
I kiss Joseph on the lips. When I can catch them. More often, it's just somewhere in the head region.
I think that's presumptuous of a dcp.
I agree with the other posters that she shouldn't be doing that. I have worked at a few daycares and it was a rule not to kiss the babies/toddlers, etc.
Thanks! I thought I was maybe overreacting. I emailed another mom in his class and she said it wouldn't bother her because it's acceptable in her culture (she's from South Louisiana) and that her baby likes their dog's toys better than her own, so she's trading germs with the dog. So...I thought I was making too big of a deal about it.
Thanks again. I'll say something tomorrow.
Good night ladies.
Yeah but dogs mouths are seriously cleaner than ours. humans have the nastiest shit_ living in their mouths of all animals...so to say that a dog is ok isn't really a good argument.
I would personally be very upset if I were you.
