    At what age did you stop kissing your parents?
    Today, I noticed that my seventeen year old friend still kisses her parents when she leaves, and I found it quite cute, because most people our age just take their parents for granted and it just shows they still love each other. My mum and her brother still kiss eachother to say goodbye, and today I just was trying to remember when I stopped kissing my parents...at what age did you stop kissing your parents? What would you say is the normal age?

    I don't kiss my parents and as far as I can remember I never have. Hugs on the other hand... so many hugs!

    yeah haven't stopped either. It's infrequent but when I'm going away for a while I kiss her goodbye.

    Kisses on the lips or cheek?

    I guess I was about 8/9 but kisses on the cheek were until I was 11/12 as it became 'gross'. Still give em a hug though.

    A couple of years ago, and I'm in my 30s.I only stopped because my mother has dementia and doesnt remember me, she told me to bugger off and threatened to hit me.

    As soon as I would've been able to not just be kissed by them. Probably three or four? I certainly have no knowledge of doing so.

    I rarely even hug my parents.

    I never kissed or hugged either of my parents (I sometimes hug my mum if I see her for the first time in months/years if that counts)

    I'm not a very tactile person, but I still kiss/hug my parents. Not very often, but still. I've seen most of my friends kissing or hugging their parents, come to think of it :erm:
