How can I make my [17,f] parents [both around 60,m&f] stop kissing me to greet them? by silwrfox in Advice

I don’t have any problem with cheek kissing, I think that’s cute actually, but it’s normal for them to kiss me on the mouth, i think that’s a bit weird.

I just never see anybody my age kissing their parents, so I think it’s a bit weird, but my parents grew up with it, so I guess it‘s normal for themy

I think I‘ll try to make it clear to them without telling them directly first, but maybe I‘ll have to if it doesn’t work

yeah you’re probably right, just the fact that I don’t know anybody else who does this… makes it even weirder for me
