Sounds like a Lannister family reunion.

most of Reddit said:
Yep. I have a daughter (7) and a son (5). I kiss them both on the lips.
What I cannot ever imagine doing, is castigating another parent for kissing their child on the lips, even if I thought it was odd (which I don't). Another to the list of 'people I don't agree with that social media has given a voice to'.
^^ This.
Ooh, you sexy devils!

If I had kissed my dad on the lips I would have burnt myself on his fag, and he'd have had words with my mother about how she was bringing me up. A brief curt nod in the morning, maybe a hand shake at Christmas and birthdays. All this talk of swapping spit with toddlers is concerning 
And if some bint I barely know gives it the Hollywood thing with presenting her over made up cheeks she gets short shrift.
I think I should have been born in Edwardian times....

A kiss on the cheek or elsewhere on the head is fine but the lips... is just wierd. No-one I know has ever done anything like that and I'd feel mighty uncomfortable with it.
True, and it's a bizarre combination to watch happening. Thankfully I'll probably be dead before it gets very bad.

I've seen far too many children die in my lifetime to do anything other than hug and kiss (even on the lips) my daughter at every possible opportunity.
Life is far too fragile to hold back.

I don't have kids but my nieces and nephews both kiss me on the lips. I was at a friends house recently and their two daughters (aged 4 and 2) both kissed me on the lips to say goodbye. Nothing sexual in it, and nothing wrong with it. For kids especially it's just a sign of affection, so why would anyone refuse something that would make a child feel loved and cared for? Bizarre that this is even an issue.
Hmm. I don't have children but somehow I doubt most children long to be kissed by their parents on the lips specifically lol, and the lack of lip contact absolutely does not assume any sort of repression, but thanks for telling us what you longed for
. I mean do you actively seek lip contact just because it's lip contact? or are you simply looking for affection? Because there are literally many other possible physical forms of affection/bonding which are far more powerful than smooching on the lips.Displays of affection are subjective, I'm not saying kissing is bad and if it's affection for both of you than that is great! The most amazing physical bonding as a child personally was just cuddling up to my mum and then she'd just start looking through my hair for potential nits this could last for over half an hour or until I fell asleep.
So yeah there are loads of better ways of bonding and It is very unlikely that the lack of lip-lip contact with your child is the line after which the child becomes somehow emotionally repressed. I mean just look at the animal kingdom. Even though the mouth is vital tool in social grooming you almost never see mouth-to-mouth.
How is not actively seeking to kiss your children on the lips sexual repression?

Precisely.
The only reason to avoid a kiss on th lips at that age is if you have an active weeping cold sore, that virus spreads rather easily, but by four or five they probably have it anyway, just hopefully the dormant version.
