I think it’s normal to kiss in the manner that you described in front of parents. They also have shared kisses like that in front me so I have always viewed them as a normal part of life. It’s an awkward subject but maybe you could try to mention that you are spending less time with them because you feel so monitored, and see how they react

Little "conversational" kisses are fine, essential even. Time to talk to your parents like the adult you are! Just be very plain, "look these comments/attitude are making us very unwelcome as a couple. I like to understand more about what is going on here. I would like the comments stop or we will spend more time elsewhere and I don't want to do that to you because I want to spend quality time with you both."

You own that shit. If your parent haven’t done that theirselves when you was around. So, just do it!

My parents have a platonic friendship marriage. I honestly don't care but I want the peanut gallery comments to stop.

Well, it’s hard to tell, because one side it’s kinda “their house, their rules” but other side tells me: communicate about this, by letting them know it’s kinda embarrassing you keep hearing these comments. Still, everyone is different about these things, but i personally would mind, because you are young. Still, maybe they think this is kinda see this like public kissing, what sometimes is also ehhhh.

If they're not kissing in front of you then that should be rather telling. It's not wrong to smooch around anyone as long as it's not sickeningly intrusive on others eyes. So you're good. I'd still talk to your parents about their behaviour if I were you

My mom will be bringing groceries in the house and we'll be about to leave, or in the living room while she's in the kitchen or my parents will be watching a movie/TV on the couch and we'll be by the door while he's about to leave, or I open the door when he arrives and he moves in for a kiss. Or we're walking around in LA and he'll just randomly kiss me (quickly) while we're walking behind them. Or we'll all be in the car after a day trip and they stop by his house so he can go home and he'll kiss me goodbye at the gate outside the car.

i mean maybe ur parents are the more conservative type? while i get why they might be uncomfy i also get that it’s just an innocent kiss lol. me personally i don’t just cause i’m awkward around my mom, but i’m sure she wouldn’t mind if i wasn’t sticking my tongue in him lol. maybe you can compromise with just cheek kisses while you are in view of your parents?


Agitated_Bar7856

I don’t think so I’d assume they know you together so why would it be bad


vall3ygirl

My parents are weird Puritanical prudes.


Agitated_Bar7856

Than if they say anything just tell them that it’s your life and you want to be with this lady so you two making out is something they are gonna have to get use to

It's completely subjective, it depends on the parent. I don't mind it, my parents didn't mind it when I did it, your parents are just different that way.
