>I was raised in an Irish Catholic household, in my grand fathers house. When I would go out I would kiss my grand father on the cheek. At age five my grand father told me, “Men do not kiss – they shake hands”! I never got to kiss my grand father again and that still hurts me. Sometimes customs and feelings get messed up!

my daughter at 12 and I kiss her everday a jillion times. If she would be a son it doesn't different... :)

Your grandfather had might a hard man. My father didn't kiss me so much... Old fashioned men can't show their love so much...
