Even You're Grown Up Children Do You Still Kiss Your Moms( Or Dads)?

I'm not the parent of a grown up, but I am the grown up child of a parent and I can say that I still hug and kiss my mother. I still cuddle up on her lap if I need to. We are very close and I would hope that some day my own children can feel just as close to me as I do to my own mother.

No, they thought that kissing mom or dad is childish behavior. Or maybe they ashamed to do that. We never asked though.

I am 27 years old and I still kiss my mother before I leave her house after a visit or before she leaves mine. I feel like you never know when it will be the last time you see someone and I want to make sure she knows I love her just in case. I have always done that with no question about it. Others may think it's strange, but not me.

Yes I still kiss my parents even if I am already adult. All of us still do that because we love our parents very much, and it doesn't change till we grow old. I want my future children to do the same to me too.

Hi bing28, I think it's lovely to see such affection, no matter the age. My kids are only 6 and 13 years old.....well I can't talk for my 13 year old at the moment as things are difficult between us there at present but up until the last a little more than a year now, he would kiss me before going to bed and leaving for school in the morning. I always welcomed it. My 6 year old is all over me like a rash!....and I love it! I know that that'll peter off within a couple/few years, that's just the 'boy/age' thing. I'll still encourage kisses and cuddles as it's a very normal part of family life and showing someone that you love and care for them. I would hope that in years to come and my kids are even older that they'll still come back to their mammy and give her a kiss/cuddle now and again at least! With my own parents, I kiss and cuddle both whenever I see them, on average once a month because we live about 1/2 hr. away from each other and I don't drive/they don't have a car. IrishGal77 :)

I think this is all part of how people are raised. Like you I still kiss my mom, dad and family goodbye or hello. As children and adults we encourage this love and affection whereas my boyfriend never got a kiss until he went away to college.

I was brought up kissing our parents each time we leave the house, and I've passed it on to my son now. It's actually a part of our culture although I've noticed a lot of the younger generation seem not to be doing it anymore. Traditionally though, we bless the hand of our elders (grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles). Kissing was seen more of a Western thing. Well, actually, an American thing since the blessing of the hand was also of Western influence introduced to my country by the Spaniards.
