    2 part question for those with kids.

    1. Do you kiss your kids on the lips? If so how old is too old to do that?
    I have a 4 year old son who I kiss on the lips and he does not even let me kiss him on the cheek because he knows I've kissed him like that since he was a baby. I will not kiss him like that by the time he is 6 I'm sure because it might look wrong. I have a baby girl also and I have no clue if I should be kissing her on the lips when she is his age?

    2. Do you take showers with your kids? If so how old is too old for that?
    I take showers with my son from time to time and he tells me I have a big fat we-we although my wife may say something different, LMAO! I don't know if I'd be taking showers with my daughter when she is his age?

    These are my 2 questions fellas. What do you do?

    I think the Shower one is tougher to say. The kiss one is not a big deal I still kiss my seven year old on the lips. It is your kid. And in some culture men kiss guys on the lips as a gesture of friendship, so I don't really trip about that. The shower one I would say probably around 5.

    Yeah the wee wee thing is funny. My kid once said I was big. So I laughed and said yep! Then I started thinking what if he tells his mommy's friends that. And I will be saying yep again!

    Some might disagree, but kissing is not that big of an issues too me. I will always kiss my kids as long as they want to be kiss.

      I can't answer these by experience - my daughter's only 17 months old. She doesn't kiss yet, she pushes you away when you try, and she just takes baths. But here's what I think.

      1.) You kiss them on the lips so long as both of your are comfortable with it. I don't believe there's an age where you have to stop - it's up to the family. I know people who make fun of a family in which the college age children all kiss their dad and mother on the lips, and I think it's extremely stupid of them. They're a loving family, and they're comfortable with it. Good for them. Do it for as long as you're comfortable doing it.

      2.) I'd stop as soon as she's able to take showers by herself; then I'd stay in the room to make sure she doesn't hurt herself, and to help her when she needs help and is done to get out and dried. I don't see much reason to be in the shower other than a.) they can't quite do it themselves, but are learning and b.) you're in a huge rush and you both HAVE to shower. I also think people should do what they feel comfortable with, and wouldn't care either way what another family does.

      You also have to take the child's development into account. You can't just say an age, because not everyone ages the same mentally. Maybe they aren't ready at 5 or 6 to take it alone yet... You do what you need to do.

        This is very good advice!

          Don't see the point of ever kissing your kids on the mouth
          Concrete evidence/videos please

            It's not like it's some intimate 2 minute kiss, it's just a "goodnight dad" quick kiss.

              Why not just do it on the forehead?

                    My family never kissed on the lips, and I've never seen families kiss on the lips. Then again, I think this may have led to my extreme dislike of kissing.

                        Perhaps that also explains why you like sex so much
