NWR: would you peck kiss your parents/family on the lips?

It's not the norm in my family, but it's nobody's place to judge, privately or publicly. It was pretty rude of her to post that. She needs to mind her own

ETA: Changed words

Every culture is different, every human being is different. I'd write back "you can kiss my ass".

We dont in my family but i know some that do. super rude she commented on that. i wouldnt think twice seeing it.

OPboinkin, lol

H's family does this! TBH I found it super weird at first but I'm sort of used to it now. My family are huggers and hardly ever kiss at all.

Not the norm in my family either, but that was rude of her to say.

I have seen it done a number of times, but I personally don't do this with my dad. Nothing I would lose sleep over.

Norm in my family but not DH. Most of them don't even hug.

I'm Cuban and we kiss everybody on the cheek! It was super weird to me when I first escaped my Miami bubble that other people hugged so much but no one did the kiss on the cheek as a greeting. We're all different and there's nothing wrong with that.

We're definitely cheek/ cheek to cheek kissers/huggers when saying hi or bye with my parents (only child) but i can't think of a time it was ever lips. but i probably wouldn't even notice if someone did in front of me or in a picture.

Nope. My family is not very affectionate, neither are my ILs.

Sooooo glad about that on both fronts. It doesn't weird me out when I see other people being affectionate with their families, it's just not how mine is.

We don’t kiss on the lips but we kiss everyone on the cheek. It may be just your family’s comfort level.

I don't do that with my parents, but I don't see why it'd be a big deal for other families to.

It's norm in my family, but I don't see my parents as much anymore as I moved in w FH and Now live 2 hrs away from them. I haven't ever thought of it as awkward until seeing everyone else's comments. Now I wonder how it will be when my dad gives me away...

@Lanae--same- I'm about 3 hours from family, so its a big deal to see them. but that's my thought...I mean I personally thought absolutely nothing of it, and I know many of our guests were raised in families similar to ours, but I'm sure some were not. The thought ran through my mind "i wonder if anyone thought it was weird or was uncomfortable about it at the wedding?"

I mean...I guess it doesn't matter, because I'm not going to suddenly start showing affection differently in my family, especially during my wedding....and DH is the same way with his family, (at least his mom and grandma)...

Me and my mom will kiss on the lips sometimes saying hello or bye, just depends. I don't with my dad but I'm also not close with my dad. That is super rude she commented, I don't think it's a big deal personally. It's just a way to show affection. Parents kiss their babies/toddlers on the lips and no one thinks that's weird but then you get to a certain age and it suddenly "becomes" weird. It totally depends on your family/comfort level. If that is your relationship and you both feel comfortable, that's all that matters :-)

My family never, ever kissed on the lips at any age. We used to do cheek kisses when I was little, but that faded out over time. To be honest, it does make me mildly uncomfortable since for me and basically everyone I grew up around lip kisses were for lovers. But I would never say anything to a friend whose family did things differently. How rude!

Oh, and I would never consider my family to not be affectionate. We hug constantly. But lip kissing would be a bridge too far.

That's not something my family does, but I know plenty of families that still do. It's not super out of the norm. I would try to not let it get to you that much! It's just one opinion.

We kiss on the cheek in my family, but everyone is different. As long as it's a peck, I think it is all good

In my family we hug. My grandpa and mom/aunts lip peck sometimes and he tried to with me and I definitely wasn't comfortable. But I don't think it's that out of the norm.
