...moms that kiss their sons on the lips? FMIL Bruschetta does this about half the time she kisses the mister, and every time I get really wierded out by it.
In my family we kiss on the lips as greeting usually. I kiss my uncles, aunts, cousins this way. I would try to accept it as their style, but I can see where you're coming from. My FI thinks we're weird, too!
maybe a little odd. i used to kiss my parents on the lips when i was a kid but at some point it transitioned into the cheek kiss. the mister's family doesn't even hug, so no risk of that for him.
I would be weirded out by it my FMIL did that to my fiance but I'm half Italian and there's part of my family in which that would be normal.
I can think of a very select group of people I do kiss or have ever kissed on the lips, and in my family, there are no males which with this occurs. My MIL kisses us (husband and me) on the cheek, but luckily, no lip contact. Now if only she would get rid of that lip stuff she wears and leaves all over my cheek... 
Hmmm. I kiss my dad on the lips, never noticed what mum and my brother do. Cheeks I think. But it's just a cultural thing, whatever's normal will seem right and everything else will seem kinda odd :)
Absolutley! I don't kiss anyone on the lips except for FH, in saying that, every family is different so it's whatever is accepted in that family.
Sure it's a little weird. But I remember kissing my mom on the lips on my wedding day, and I'm sure that looked weird, too.
Yes. Weird! My grandma does that to me very occasionally and although it's just a peck I think it's kind of odd.
But I think it's just a european thing or something.
Yeah, that sounds odd...how about a cheek kiss by the side of the mouth (but still in the cheek zone) and definately with the MUAH noise-less ROMANTIC feeling LOL
My FMIL does not personally do this, but if she did, I would most definitely find it weird.
My FMIL doesn't do this...but it would weird me out big time. It's just not something I'm used to seeing.
Unless your name is northerazgroom, I don't want your lips anywhere near me!
that would gross me out too. FMIL is a cheek kisser. My parents are lip kissers (just with us kids - we are all girls) but since I'm an adult I have been training them to be cheek kissers :) Poor FH has had to get used to much more physical affection in my family compared to his own. Mum kisses his cheek and gives him a hug, dad used to shake his hand but since we got engaged they've graduated to those manly one-armed thumping hugs. How does your FH feel about it? I think if my FMIL went to plant one on FH's mouth he would turn his head very quickly.
I can see where you are coming from. I think it's just a cultural difference maybe- I know some European families who kiss each other on the mouth.....felt a little creepy when just typed that 
I know this varies by culture, but either way it's I'm glad isn't done in our families!
Yeah, I actually get weirded out anytime a parent and adult child kiss on the lips. In our culture, we essentially do air kisses but touching cheek to cheek.
Oh my gosh, this is funny--I was just thinking about how gross this is to me! My fiance's mom doesn't do it, but my aunt kisses her grown children (boy and girl) on the lips. Yuck.
it weirds me out... my FMIL is definitely a kisser but just a cheek kisser thank god!
Yucky! FMIL and FI are not too affectionate - they will hug on occasion, but in genearl are not a very touchy feely family.
Unless it was a cultural thing, it would creep me OUT. My in-laws are more touchy-feeling than my parents, but not to that level!
I agree, it is creepy when it is something you are not used to. If I grew up in a culture where this was the norm, then I would obviously feel differently. But here, noooo way. I know where FIs lips have been! eeww...sorry!
Ew, yeah, weird. Luckily FMIL and FI don't do this and I've gotten my sons accustomed to cheek kisses.
yeah alittle, my FMIL and FI do. its just the tiniest "peck", but i'm always surprised by it for some reason.
I don't kiss anyone in my family on the lips!!! In fact my family on my mom's side does this thing that when you say hi and go in to "kiss" it's a modified cheek kiss where you don't physically even touch lips/cheeks, and you smush your lips actually AWAY from the cheek (to the right). We can all do that, it must be hereditary.
And it CREEPS me out to see anyone related by BLOOD kiss on the lips... mother/daughters, dad/daughters, mother/sons etc.
Ewww. Anyone not in diapers should not be doing that unless it's your SO.
Ummm, yea that is a little strange. My family isn't very touchy, touchy so that would probably explain why I find it weird.
I do not kiss my 10 yo son on the lips. Ewww. I LOVE him but we cheek kiss each other and occasionally I'll give him an Eskimo.
Lips? Nah. Creepy to me too.
This doesn't creep me out, but my family is Italian. We're super huggy-kissy, so I never really thought anything of it.
Yeah, when they're babies? ok.Little, little bitty cutie babies. Yes.
My mom tried to get me to kiss her on the lips at my own wedding and I refused to. Um, i had makeup on, and I'm uh, 23 years old. Instead we had this really awkward moment of her trying to get me to be a baby again and making weird faces at me. When I was a baby, it was ok! Now, not so much at all
It was definitely the weridest moment we've ever had and it was in front of all these people, too. I just gave her my cheek like i shoudl have
Yeah. It's not, my style. But I 've learned to not be so shocked when I see people from other families do it.
What does your Fi think about it? I'm guessing he's just used to it. Why is FMIL getting all the blame? Is she always the one initiating it? Does she only kiss him on the lips? If he doesn't find it to be a big deal, try not to let it bother you.
