I agree with Amiya, it depends on the type of kiss. If it was an affectionate kiss on the mouth it not only teaches the children how to show affection towards their marriage mate when they themselves are married one day, but it also shows the love the parents have for each other which will make the children feel secure, especially when there are so many marriages that are breaking down because of no love. However if it was a passionate kiss, then maybe the parents should restrict that type of kissing to when they are alone.

I agree with that ! There is no harm in planting a light kiss on the cheeks or on the forehead,I am sure most parents know their limits and wouldn't want to make their children uncomfortable..However, I have seen the Indians and Pakistanis living abroad going hand in hand and kissing openly, so it is all a matter of place and time, also where you live.In Pakistan of course they may never be able to do that !!

It depends on the kind of kiss and the relationship of the persons doing it. a quick kiss on the face between friends is not considered an issue but if it is somewhat passionate then we also don't patronize it if done in public.

i agree with you namiya. quick kiss on face, is just a symbol of love to that person, even if kissed in public. But passionately kissed in-front of others is not acceptable. That should be a private thing.

I think that is ridiculous. B y showing affection the kids can be reassured their parents love each other. That's a v ery good feeling for a child. It makes them feel more secure.I would have loved it if my parents had been affectionate toward each other instead of fighting all the time.

This is exactly what I learnt from my husband, because I used to feel very ashamed. But my husband tells me that kids must see that their parents love both each other. Of course there are kind of kisses for each time and place, of course. But my husband and I agree that we didnĀ“t see our parents to kiss each other. (My parents got divorced 15 years ago, and my parents in law are not kind affectionate, they rather quarrel instead). Blessings antiquelady!

It depends on how you were raised, in my family its never been seen so its ackward, and I wouldnt do it infront of anyone needless if they are kids or not. But I know some people who would kiss in front of anyone, and to a point I find this disrespectful, and rude. For example the girl I worked with kissed her boyfriend in the store, at the front door so if a customer walked in or by could see it.

In this country parents kiss in front of the kids all the time. You are lucky if that is all they do in front of the kids.

It's the same here in India...except in metros. My husband and I do show more affection than others here. We are comfortable hugging in front of the kids and do give each other a peck on the cheek once in a while...but not overt behaviour.

Asian families are more conservative. They don't show their affections in front of their children.

I don't want to go wild and get all hot and bothered, but a good by kiss or hello one is fine with me.

I think asmall display of affection between parents can be good for the children's well being. At least they can see their parents care for each other. However, if it is a show of passion, that would be a different story and would be uncomfortable for anyone seeing this display.

hi, here in my country we are aware when a parents will kiss each other in the front of there kids,and it will depend upon the people who will see them kissing each other if they will give it a malice or not,but usually in child there is no malice when there parents kiss,because for us as there child shows their sweetness to each other.

We don't mind if parents kiss each other in front , it is not a passionate kiss that we are showing in front of the kids , it is a gesture that shows their love for each other , it is just a smack kiss ,no passion and no malice . It is a very decent and a committed kiss of our parents . We are even happy to see that , it means how deep and faith they are for each other.

hey Tushavi , the answer is very simple. it depends on how open we are or how open minded is the area we live in / particular culture. one side: it is not considered good in many countries but in some there is no problem. people call that couple uncultured ,shameless etc .they think this will put a bad affect on their children and they will also try to practice the same. in a way they try to protect try culture and children from being misguide . in a way its good because kissing( or any form of practicing love ) is considered good after marriage and should be kept between the couple. other side: if parents are kissing each other in front of their kids, the kids are just guided about any physical relationship b/w two people. so the kids become open with their parents and discuss their problems freely.so many problems can be avoided of teenage in our countries( i am from India and there is not much difference b/w India and Pakistan). so i think , the second side is better but if and only if kissing is done withing home and in front of any outsider. happy myloting friend.

Hello Tushavi! Depends what kiss. If it is a quick peck on the cheek or on the lips then I think that is cool but if it was full on making out then I would have to say no to that. Happy MyLotting. ~AussieGal~

In our country it is encouraged so that children see the love their parents have for each other. Children need good role models in their lives so that can do the same when they become adults.

The culture is different everywhere. In my country it was very unusual for parents to kiss each other in front of kids in the past. But as time goes by, our society has changed because of foreign movies, culture and so on. It is fine for parents to show their love to each other in front of their children. I think it is a good practical lesson for children how to express love. I love China

Kissing in the checks doesn't matter to us but kissing lips to lips is maybe shameless. That act is only for both the husband and wife after the kids already sleep. In my case, never did kissing my wife infront of my siblings or any other person inside our house. What we always did was kissing by checks.

People from my country have no problem with it especially the ones from the city . The country folks are less open to any affection in front of anyone !! They would not call you names in public but they stare like " OMG" ... I am more open to things so I have no problem with it personally .

When I was growing up, I remember seeing my parents kiss all the time and therefore when I had my children, I've never thought twice about kissing my husband in front of our children. In the United States, I tend to think that the majority of parents will kiss in front of their children all the time and there are not too many times that it is given a second thought. Now, if the couple was fully making out in front of their children, I don't think that would be acceptable.

It depends on how it was perceived as influenced by culture or traditions. Some countries don't mind it, it is how they express their feelings.
