I never did. Specially Mary and Jeff were 12 and 14 when the show began. I can see kissing mommy and daddy at age 5 but beyond that??? They all seem so lovey dovey.

not sure about everyone but I am gonna be 40 in a few weeks and I always do...hug and kiss my husband, parents and bro whenever I am saying hello and goodbye and always tell them I love them...we have always been that way...that's the norm to us...

Wow. Maybe it is certain family traditions. I hardly ever hug anyone. When someones relative has died or someone is ill, I will, but other than that, I just say hello.

I never did when I was a teenager.

When I was a kid/teenager during the 1980's I don't recall kissing my family. But my mother, grandmothers, and sister would often give me a kiss on the cheek and a hug and I really never thought anything about it. I grew up in the south and women tend to be very affectionate here.

I would have returned for a kiss goodbye from Donna again and again (like Dopey and Snow White)!

I never kissed my parents, I have hugged them before. I had a grandmother who came to visit from Michigan every few years when I was young. She wore this vivid red lipstick and was always trying to kiss us kids. You'd end up with this big red lip print on your face. None of us liked it.

I think some keep kissing right along. But yes, I think there is an age limit to it.

Thoughts on my thread that I started. I didn't know my grandparents- and aunts, uncles and cousins were in different locations than where I lived. But I did sometimes hug at funerals, weddings but never actually kissed on the cheek. Maybe having no husband, the tradition of kissing loved ones goes nowhere with me.

Some relatives were kissy-types when I was a kid. I never liked it.

Fortunately those relatives weren't local--we visited them once in awhile.
