Why do some parents kiss their children on the mouth?
I find this a bit disturbing considering what some adults do behind closed doors. To me, it's like leave the kid's mouth innocent. Not to mention things you could outdo on. Cheek to me works fine. Is there a reason for this?
i find it gross too, its a bit too personal. kissing on the mouth is what lovers should do! i didnt know if i be the only one who thought this as im english and didnt know if i was being stereotypically reserved, lol.
Honestly, this is a cultural thing. In a lot of cultures it is without a flaw acceptable to kiss children/close friends/family on the mouth. It is generally just a short time peck, nothing more.
IMO, you are being just a moment or two bit judgmental. It is your mind that is associating what is a common way to express affection contained by some places in the world with something nasty.
I normally kiss my daughter on the mouth. She is four now, and I assume at some point in her development she will not be comfortable beside this any longer. At that point it will stop - I won't force her to do something she doesn't want to do. But I honestly don't see what the problem is with little pecks on a child's mouth.
Answers: Personally, it grosses me out to watch my friend and her husband kiss their newborn daughter on the jaws. I really don't like seeing it at all, but I wasn't raised around that. My family connections is very close-knit, but we've never kissed one another on the lips as a sign of affection; cheeks, forehead, etc. have other been considered more appropriate. I can't imagine kissing anyone on the lips bar my husband. It really irks me when people think that "you aren't as close to your child if you don't kiss them on the lips". I realize that families who do kiss their children on the mouth use this gesticulation in a perfectly innocent loving way, but neither my husband nor myself be brought up doing that and it's just not for us. I won't say anything to people who do do it, it's their business, I a moment ago am not crazy about seeing it.
I kiss my two and a half year old daughter on the chops all the time. Why shouldn't mum's and dads kiss their kids? Cheek kissing is what you do to greet relatives you haven't seen for a while, not your children!! Kissing her on the mouth doesn't mean we're bloody very well using tongues!
"Not to mention things you could pass on"
You're not serious are you? She's my daughter. She came out of my VAGINA! And you think that we shouldn't be physically close?
I do wonder, if you hold kids, do you shake their hands or pat them on the back? Did your mum hug you enough when you be little? Did she hug you too much?
Oh brother is adjectives I have to say.
Depends on what the custom be in their family. There is also considerable variation around the world. Where my aunt comes from, they not solely kiss children on the mouth for greeting, they kiss adults as well. That was a tad hard to acquire used to on my vacation to her hometown some years back.
Infants learn to kiss with their mouth. I have never kissed them on the lips until my son planted one on MY lips! At first it's gross because when they kiss, it's all tongue and slobber! Eww! Yet, I don't want to hurt their sensations by turning my face.
They are 18 months old and 3 years old presently. They have learned to kiss with their mouth closed in a minute.
When I tell my son, "Give me a kiss", he'll lean his forehead toward me to kiss it.
He seldom kisses me on the lips anymore. My daughter very seldom give kisses so I have to chase her down for one! LOL. I kiss her on her forehead or cheek.
from my observations, little kids are the ones who kiss on the mouth. they learn that you kiss with your lips and so it simply makes sense to them that they should kiss on the lips as well. my little brother and cousins adjectives kissed my family on the lips, but they stopped when they were around four.
a lot of mum and dads kiss in attendance kids on the month not with it open or anything like that here nothing wrong u can only pass on really cold sores if u hold one of them most mum and dad would not do it i'm missing what the problem
It's just a way of showing love. When my babies sleep their little maw pucker so I kiss them! It's so cute!
It's different from kissing your loved one. It's like the difference between lotioning up your child and lotioning up your spouse. They are both acts of love but they are deffinetly different.
it's not like i'm making out w. my kid that's disturbing but i do just give her rather peck on the lips just like alot of parents theres zilch wrong w.it and you should get over it
yea it is how some parents show love for their children i kiss my son on his mouth all the time it does not mean i am molesting him while i am at home that is disgusting and i don't know why anyone would ask that query
ewwie! I stoped kissing my mom and dad on the mouth when i was like umm six it just get nasty to me!!
Because it's said that if you really love someone you kiss them in the mouth. Basically it's in recent times saying "I love you" without actually proverb it.
While my kids were little I gave them a peck on the lips. Now that they are elder we do the cheek thing. I dont see anything wrong with it when they are like 7 and lower than. Once they are old enough though I switch over.
behind closed doors? omg... its an expression of love. Pecks are fine, it doesnt mean youre a child molester.
i kiss my son on the mouth but he is only 1.5 and i dnt see a problem beside it but once he gets about 3 it will stop but i am the only one that can pass him a little peck evryone else kisses him on the cheeck or for headed...to me its just another approach to show my love for him...get ur mind out of the gutter in some cultrals its another way to say aloud hi or bye...i dnt like make out with him a short time ago a lil muaw!
Not sure. Your going overboard. Some parents get really attached to their kids. My brother who is 20 and still living at home kisses our mom on the maw, massages her back and legs while she's naked and her upper thighs, extremely close to her vagina. This get me very disturbed but I just get yell at for complaining. :/ Kissing on the lips isn't that bad. But my situation with my brother is! :(
It's call LOVE. My son always asks me for a kiss (he is 4). I am not talking about infants though. Well why would you even dream up in a way like that, if I saw someone kissing their child, I wouldn't wonder what they do trailing closed doors. That is just, wrong. Source(s): *B*T*

ergh. Gross.
I have a daughter who's 13 months old and not only do I kiss her on the mouth (just a bit peck) she also comes to me and gives me a kiss which i think is sweet! It not only a regular way to Display love but its healthy to show your children affection with hugs and kisses
yeah i know ive wondered the same thing.I consider its gross too.
