Were your parents discreet about kissing before their children?
My parents have never shied from giving each other a light peck on the lips ever since I can remember, and they still do; but never a French kiss or anything blatantly sexual.
Yeah. I caught them making out once when I accidentally walked in on them, I don't think they noticed me though as I quietly closed the door. That was after they were divorced, too.
I think he would kiss her sometimes? I can't remember so I guess they didn't do it in front of us often.
I do remember kissing my ex with tongue one time while we were married and our child was probably 5 or 6 and caught us. He was so mad at us over that. LoL! I didn't know it would shock him so much to catch his mommy and daddy making out. We didn't do it in front of him again after that.
This is a great question. Put on your seatbelt; my answer is coming.
My mother has smoked cigarettes since she was 17 years old, my stepfather (who was the only father figure I ever had or knew) was a 100% across the board non-smoker. He was in my life from the time I was 4 years old until their divorce when I was 14. Neither of them were overly affectionate people, especially in front of us, the children. Even so, my mother had her bouts of fancy wherein she'd corner him for a hug and a kiss. His reaction to it was always less than enthusiastic.
As a small child, I thought his hesitance was just that icky-she's-a-girl thing, but as I got older and stopped thinking that touching a girl would give me cooties, I began to recognize that he was cringing away from her and the overpowering "aroma" of her heavily-noticeable nicotine cologne. I never saw him initiate any outward display of affection toward her, she was always the one who did that. Such action between them was limited to a kiss from her on his cheek, never the other way around, and I don't think I can remember ever seeing their lips touch.
Not about kissing, they were always affectionate. Never went further than that in front of us. I do think I once accidentally caught a glimpse of dad groping one of mum's (clothed) breasts before she pushed his hand away, but I'm not 100% certain.
Just pecks on the lips or cheeks. Thank god. I hate seeing anyone make out. I think they tried to do it quick and discreet when we were around but sometimes we noticed, not like I cared.
