    Fathers - What age did you stop kissing kids on lips?

    What age did you stop kissing your children on the lips or did you feel that was never appropriate?

    I can't remember when I stopped with my daughter (pretty young age) but my son is 3 and I have no issues kissing him bye when I drop him off at school.

    I think some people in general think it's weird.

    EDIT: If someone would like to edit the title to Fathers - When did you stop kissing your children on the lips. This is not one of my "Dookie threads" but the title reads like one.

    I do occasionally with my 6 month old son, but usually he's got a ton of drool so tend to save kisses for his cheeks.

    Will be interesting as he gets older though....good question!

      I don't have kids but think you can't go wrong with a kiss on the forehead(girl or boy) from a age stand point.

        I'll go out on a limb and say, whenever they stop wanting/accepting them. That could be once they hit school, or once they think it's weird. Just try not to have your feelings hurt the first time they reject your lips lol.

            I never thought kissing my kids on the lips was appropriate. It just seems weird. I know they're little, but if you have to ween yourself off of it, why go down the route in the first place?

            For me, cheeks for little girls (and baby boys). Forehead for either (all ages).

              I'm not a father, but as a son, I'm pretty sure my dad has never kissed me(anywhere.. lips, cheeks or forehead) and if he ever did it was at a very early age when I don't remember. We have a funny sort of best friend relationship though. Not so much father/son one. He's never been a very affectionate father, that part I've always gotten from my mother.

                Good question. I honestly don't remember.

                I do have a 2 year old son and he always gives me a kiss before he goes to the sitter and at bedtime and it's always on the lips. I'm sure around 3 or so that will probably stop.

                I have a 21 year old son who moved to Guam and when I see him I always give him a hug and a kiss on the cheek and tell him I love him. He laughs about it and gives me a hard time but I/it leaves no doubt in his mind that his Old Pops loves him dearly.

                  My son is 17, but I've never kissed him on the lips. I don't think it's weird, it just never occurred to me that I should. But then, I don't want my 70 year old mom to kiss me on the lips either.

                    Not a father but I my parents never kissed me on the lips. When I was a kid i'd run up to them and kiss them on the cheek while they hug me and that was it.

                        I think it's partly cultural / sub-cultural preference. Additionally, if it's done, the kid will probably start getting away from it when they are ready.

                          I always thought that was super weird when I was a kid and I can't remember my parents ever doing it. But I have a 1 year old son and I've kissed him on the lips a few times, sometimes it's just cause he turns his head but I "get it" now, you just love them so much, there's no weirdness to it. I don't think that'll go on though, I think by 2 or max 3.

                            My son is 21 months and I still kiss him on the lips everyday. I'll probably stop once he doesn't want to anymore, but I will always show him love and affection

                              Same. I have a 9 month old daughter and kissing her on the lips just seems very weird to me.
