Just so there's no misunderstanding that it's my next door neighbour's opinion. Haha :) :)<br /><br />Thank you both for your comments!<br />It's nice to get perspective on it from other people, particularly those who do things differently :)Tara @ Our Whirlwind Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128706568848285409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296239918663175103.post-20236223172926605082011-05-20T03:55:08.657+10:002011-05-20T03:55:08.657+10:00My wife and I kiss and hug in front of the kids. O...My wife and I kiss and hug in front of the kids. Our kids kiss us on our lips, it's not a big deal to us. <br /><br />I can see it from your perspective and see the concern with that the kids may think kissing on the lips of strangers might be okay. However, it is up to us to discuss the appropriateness of behavior of strangers and really anyone that is not Mommy and Daddy. <br /><br />In no way am I disagreeing with you nor do I think you are wrong in your way of handling this. To each your own when it comes to parenting. Everyone is different. Everyone had different experiences growing up that has influenced the way we parent our own kids. <br /><br />My parents didn't show a lot of emotion outside of hostility, so maybe I'm trying to overcompensate with love and affection. Only time will tell. <br /><br />One thing is for sure, regardless of how much we try to be the best parents for our children, they're going to grow up to tell us we did it wrong.<br /><br />Great post and conversation!Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002790679349228307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296239918663175103.post-83218581776615274342011-05-20T03:52:11.451+10:002011-05-20T03:52:11.451+10:00I am not quite certain that you were clear . . . t...I am not quite certain that you were clear . . . this is just your opinion!;) Bwhaha sorry, I had to tease.<br /><br />Hum, good question. I don't go out of my way to kiss my kids on the lips but I don't go out of my way to avoid it. At the moment my Little Miss is right into laying big smackers on my lips and that is fine with me. <br /><br />I do kiss my hubby on the lips in front of them . . . little smooches, no gnashing of the lips and tongues as that is for the bedroom. We also hug and hold hands every once in a while. We are also big fans of the family hug which includes all of us squeesing the living daylights out of each other.<br /><br />Honestly, it is whatever works for you family. You guys are happy and that is all that matters.<br /><br />As for In the Night Garden, that is banned at our house but only because I find it so annoying.<br />JennFox in the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12163309708157436213noreply@blogger.com
