Parents Kissing Their Kids On The Lips

Just by chance, Faith Hill's "This Kiss" played a few minutes ago on the radio and here I am puckering up in preparation of writing about whether or not parents should kiss their adult children on the lips. What brings this question up? The photo of Patriots Coach Bill Belichick celebrating the Super Bowl win with a father-daughter kiss on the lips. The picture has drawn cries of "super weird, aggressive and making out!" The smooch seen 'round the world has also been defended by many as a special moment between family.

In your opinion, if a female coach kissed her son on the lips, would that offend you? According to New York City etiquette expert Elaine Swann, who admits her own family is very touchy and hands-on, defended Belichick, saying his Croatian lineage may have influenced his behavior, where men kiss men and women kiss women.

There are some folks who find the father-daughter lip kiss completely inappropriate, calling the coach like Woody Allen but weirder. So, this provokes the question: Is there an age parents shouldn't kiss their kids on the lips? Share your opinion, please.

I'll kiss my kid's lips regardless of age.

Yikes, this is worst than Pete Carroll's call.
