I just have to say 'Wow'! Is this really how people think? I guess I don't pay attention to the world because both my wife and I kiss our children on the lips. Never in our lives did we even think twice about it, it's been happening since the day they took their first breath. 14, 12, 10 and 8 years old, and the 12 year old is a boy, in case that matters to some.
Political Correctness run amok. We just love our children, that is as simple as I can say it.

If you really want to have fun, you should post this in the Parenting subforum. Unless you MEANT to post it in Romantic Relationship :
Maybe it's a regional and cultural thing? I grew up kissing my parents and maternal grandmother on the lips. It's also what I've done with my kids since birth until it no longer interested them. Our almost three year old gives kisses. She's super affectionate.
But it's not really a "PC" thing because there are plenty older generations that aren't fond of it. My in-laws didn't kiss their kids on the lips. So it really comes down to family dynamics, background and culture.

You are probably right... I am Mexican/American, and my wife is Norwegian/Spanish, and we all do it, although with family members, it's two kisses. I guess I've always grown up like this, I've never thought anything of it. When we visit family in Argentina, Spain, Mexico, and Norway, always kisses.
BTW, I apologize, it was in the wrong forum originally. Thanks.
I let my kids choose...when they were little, there was a elaborate kiss routine. Butterfly kiss, Eskimo kiss, kiss on the forehead, kiss on the lips. Over the years it's tapered off to just a hug. They won't hug extended family, other than their grandmothers. Even their baby cousin gets a fist bump rather than a hug or kiss.
I think as long as your kids are comfortable with the kiss on the lips, it's fine. If they outgrow it, you'll have to let it go too.

Actually, your disagreement with people's freedom of speech to express their opinion on lip-kissing is Political Correctness run amok.
Basically you want us all to keep our opinions about lip-kissing to ourselves if they upset you or this elite actress.
She posted something to a public forum, some responses were positive, some were negative. A few mean facebook posts are hardly oppression. You seem to want to eliminate the negative responses because they don't agree with your personal belief system. You are coming out strongly in favor of PC censorship.
For the act in question: I don't intend to have anything to do with bathing my 12-year-olds, nor are they going to be allowed to walk in on my shower or bath. That's pretty weird, but I recognize that some families have different boundaries than we, especially those whackadoo hollywood-types.
Kissing on the lips is kind of gross and has a slightly higher chance of communicating disease, but since you are living in close proximity to your children anyway, it's probably a wash.
I am 57 years old and kiss my Mother and Brother as well as my children on the lips, always have, always will.
I do not care what others think about anything pertaining to me so there is not an issue there.

My parents and grandparents were the same - a quick peck on the mouth - it was mostly when we were little. As we got older, behaviors change and that is typical for many kids as they get more independent. But it is silly to make such a big deal out of something that is just a custom.
I'm free to ignore you, not give a **** and or think you're an idiot for your up tight views you feel so strongly about
That's the thing about folks today. High on strongly held opinions and low on critical thinking.
