    You know what really bothers me? When people bug out about kissing kids on the lips. Not everyone does it but when people do, IT IS NOT SEXUAL. People cringing like there is a sexual element is icky. It’s icky! That’s a father and son, clean your head. Damn.

    My son is 4, and I’m his mom. But he kisses his dad too. Sometimes he gets frustrated if the kiss is off center. So he stays an extra second and fixes it. That’s what this video looks like to me. Kids have the mental space to be OCD like this because parents are indulgent and once again THIS IS NOT A SEX THING.

      This isn’t sexual, no. Obviously. BUT it is a long and intimate kiss, of a type that most people do with romantic partners, so people find it strange. They’re not saying this is sexual.

      Yeah, and I find it odd that there’s such a visceral reaction about a son kissing his father, specifically.

      While my family didn’t do the whole kissing-on-the-lips thing, I also didn’t find this disturbing. Different, I guess? But not wrong or weird.

    Did you really think anything about this motherfucker would ever not be weird?

    He probably fucks with his socks on.

    I’m only here for the Patriots fans’ comments if this gets crossposted to Deadspin. It’s going to get messier than the comment section on an article that gently critiques Bernie Sanders.

    ...yeah, that’s weird.

    Father-son affection is one thing, but, like, there’s a limit. That’s a long ass kiss, man. That’s a “I kissed the person at school I really like” amount of time.

    It’s kinda weird. But hey, if that’s how their family kicks it...I mean, who are to judge? Tom seems like a great dad and he ain’t on TV talking about how nice his infant daughter’s legs look like the President once did, so let’s chalk this up to just being a weird family thing and not something more than that.

    Uh, my entire family kisses each other on the mouth... Mom, Dad, Grandmother, Grandfather, uncles, aunts, cousins.... It’s only weird because you make it sound weird. There is nothing sexual to a kiss on the mouth unless the parties have a sexual intention. None exists with Tom Beady and his son, I am sure, and none exists between my non-coupled family members.

    I’m a lady. I have three sons. Twelve, four, and two. I don’t remember the last time I kissed my 12 year old on the lips. My 4 and 2 year old don’t get kissed like this either.

    And I am suuuuuuper fucking affectionate with my kids. I nibbled their toes and ears as babies. I still blow zerberts on their bellies. I snuggle, cuddle, tickle, and squeeze. (And I tell them to tell me to stop if they don’t want to be touched and respect their no.)

    But this? Nah. I don’t kiss my sons like that. Some things are not to be shared between parent and child and that’s ok.

      I think our family picked up “zerbert” from the Cosby Show. I wish I didn’t remember that because now it is tainted...

    My husband and I have a conversation about when we should stop kissing our kid on the lips (she’s three years old and her kisses normally involve me being on the receiving end of way too much spit). I said rule of thumb is we follow her lead.

    Also, kids are gross and so are we so I don’t want us getting sick, so we generally stick to foreheads.

    The real question we should also ask is “when do you stop calling your dad daddy..?”

      So you have a young one. Mine are 13/14 and refer to me as “dad” and “daddy” alternately. I don’t think I’ll ever tell them what to call me, but I do see them referring to me as “dad” more often now.

      Like you said, I’m following their lead on this.
