re: How old is it too old to kiss your son?

I thought you were saying you're not almost 40 in general .. Because we know that ain't true ..

Maybe so. Don't know why people getting so upset....I didn't say it was weird to kiss your kids....just on the lips is weird IMO.

Yeah, I kiss my son on the lips, but he's 2. When they're that young, I don't think it's weird.

I know people that kiss their dogs on the lips, and that's just plain disgusting.

Yeah I don't kiss my dogs on the lips....that's nasty.

In high school I had a friend that would kiss his day on the lips and we were around 15. I thought that was weird but they were a close family and this somehow made up for it. I don't ever remember my dad even hugging me so I was to young to remember.

My son is 3 and I kiss his cheek all the time.

Yeah. I take it back. I should have stopped at pretentious count.


My apologies St. Augustine.

Aug's been around a lot longer than you, and I'd have to say my opinion of him is the exact opposite of yours.

Well, you two can be friends then. I don't even know his post history because I don't spend too much time on the OT but this is the second time he's been a cocksucker to me for no reason.

I come from an old traditional New Orleans family and I dont remember much affection growing up from my father. We'd shake hands or he'd give me a pat on the back or something. Most of my friend's fathers were the same way. However I did spend quite a bit of time in Europe while growing up. Usually at least a month a summer so I witnessed the difference in cultures. Europeans are a much more affectionate group and to be honest they seem like a much happier bunch, generally speaking.
Americans, as judged by some responses in this thread, seem to be uptight and judgemental. I dont have children yet, but I plan on being more affectionate than my father was. I don't need to be the stoic patriarch of the family.
