To think kissing a family member on the lips isn't weird

I kissed my sister on the lips today to say goodbye in front of my friend. My friend afterwards said to me that she found it weird and almost incestuous Shock.

It was a peck not a full on snog!

I kiss ds like this as well (although he is only a baby)

I find it weird, too. But then I grew up in a very non-kissy family.

Yep, another one who finds it weird. Not judging you at all, it is just a bit too intimate for me.

I think it's a bit odd.

My FIL always used to try and kiss me on the lips, I'd turn my head. Not sure why, just feels a bit intimate.

I wouldn't dream of hugging my immediate family let alone kissing them, but we're those sort of people.

Give my DS kisses on the lips though!

God, yes. Why do people go in for the lip kiss? It makes me so uncomfortable!

As long as you go "a-mwah!" it's fine, but if it goes "om nom nom mmm nom mwah" then it's a bit odd

I don't kiss anyone on the lips apart from dh and children. And I have read on here that some people don't even kiss their own children on the lips Hmm . If I spotted sisters kissing on the lips, I probably would think it slightly strange, only because I think it's unusual. Your friend is odd to think it was incestuous though.

I find it weird, I don't even like cheek kisses really, but DH's family are Swiss so can't avoid it. I much prefer a hug.

My DH's family do this, DH to his dad and mum etc. I find it a bit odd but only because I didn't grow up that way. Now I kiss my toddler on the lips, it seems natural to me to do that

I'd find it a bit odd but like some of the others I am from a very non kissy family.
