It’s not a thing in my culture. Plus it exposes kids to unnecessary germs. You can show them love in safer ways

@Nunki I also think it's unsanitary and doesn't even need to be a good sensory experience to a small child.
@CrazyMusicLover There are legit reasons not to kiss a child on the mouth; in most cultures it’s the difference between a romantic expression of affection vs. a platonic or familial one.

But introduce the issue of spreading germs and no one should be kissing anyone, right ? 🤔

@bijouxbroussard Well, technically it is unsanitary. 😅 But I'm sure that adults have very difference experience from it. But I don't know. I hated being kissed when I was a child. I hated the wetness.
@CrazyMusicLover I wasn’t big on it as a child, either. There were only a handful of people I let hug me, although I didn’t always have a choice.
