Victoria Beckham has sparked controversy by posting a picture of her kissing her daughter on the lips.

Is it OK?
Would it be OK for a father to do the same?
What if the recipient was male?

What on Earth's wrong with that?
Seeing as it was one of the Beckhams I'm only surprised she didn't kiss her on the arse to generate even more publicity.
 
The only reason I live is for a smoochy, sloppy wet one with a couple of nose rubs from my grandkids. My son & both of his sisters understand & actively carry on the tradition. The mouth fart on the tummy I feel is strictly for the parent / child . . . although my lad, at 28, is starting to feel he is a little too old.

Tongues I agree, are a bit weird.

WTF has been controvalised by this PR nonsense ?
 
Good God! Whatever happened to the famed British stiff upper lip? Last thing I would have wanted when younger was a parent slobbering all over me; especially in public.

Thankfully my mother was sparing with such things - but on the occasion, it was a quick, genuine sign of maternal affection - always in private. Not a big show. All that was required from pater was the occasional manly handshake.

Keep all this exaggerated kissing stuff where it belongs: on the continent!

Indeed & well said old boy.

Are you the same Woodbine I buggered at Eton as my fag, or did we not meet till Balliol ?
 
So would it be OK if David kissed Brooklyn on the lips?
Brooklyn's a bit old now and probably doesn't want anything like that.




Depends which conventions you are used to.

Why wouldn't it be?

Taking all of your posts on this subject into context & then multiplying them by the sum of your response to the answers . . . !

Do YOU have a problem with adults kissing children?

If you do, I would suggest that your particular train of thought on the subject might be unhealthy. You should seek professional help before us parents & grandparents find you.
