Is planting a smacker on the lips of a family member a northern thing ?

I only saw it in the south, never in the north where I grew up.

Maybe it's only in certain counties? :eek:

Vice versa for me - bizarre.

I would probably kiss my old granny on the lips, but that's about it, and let's not start talking about crusty old uncles who try to cop a sly smacker :eek:

I always thought you were male! :rotfl:

I only kiss lovers on the lips, anyone else doing it to me, creeps me out. _pale_

Maybe is culture ?
I am latin and I do hug and kiss everyone i see, even when someone is introducing me in a conversation i feel i have to, plus is really funny looking at my BIL's face when i see him, and after his Hello i say, come on, you are my brother give me a kiss ( in the cheek), he is so unconfortable that is so sweet, i mean i really love him.
I also hug friends because they are special to me but not to everyone i see that i am not that close to, people only get a kiss from me, unless i kinda see that the wife/Gf is really unconfortable with me around so they only get a affectionate hello and big smile..... after all i am only 25.

I love hugs and kisses, and anyone is welcome to give my OH friendly hugs and kisses, too. (As long as he doesn't mind, but he is a big boy and can speak for himself).

It's just the kissing on the lips, from non-lovers, that I don't like.

Well both our families are English so no latin, greek or anything like that...

It is funny though to watch my auntie (mums sister) chase after my dad to plant a big smacker on his cheek. She only does it for fun though.

I asked him last night why he didn't reply and he said he didn't see anything wrong with it. :eek: Then he was in the dog house as he started to get hormonal with me. (anyone would think HE was the pregnant one )

There isn't anything wrong with it, and if my OH told me I shouldn't kiss family members on the lips then I'd probably have a little laugh at him. I'd think he was the weird one!
I asked him btw and we both agreed it's fine. Lip-smacking-kisses-ahoy!

Neither I or my family were kissy huggy but I see my 20 year old son once a week, he is at uni, and give him a hug and kiss on the cheek. I dread to think what he'd do if I kissed him on the mouth. I'll save that for when he comes too often and gets on my nerves.
