Funny timing of this thread. My son just turned 8 on 12/28. Up until about 2 weeks ago, I always gave him a hug and a little peck on the lips before he left for school. Thought nothing of it, really. I love the kid with all my heart, and it didn’t seem to bother him.
Well, about 2 weeks ago I was tucking him into bed and went to give him a kiss and he kinda turned away. I chuckled and said “what’s wrong, do you feel weird having your dad kiss you on the lips now that you’re older?” His response was “I don’t know...should I?” I gave him a kiss on the forehead and haven’t given him a kiss on the lips since.
