olu77: For me, there is nothing wrong with that. It will make the children crave for such a positive love as they grow older.
that's not true mister!

There is nothing wrong there.

We even make love in the presence of my 1+ son. But currently my wife said it is not good. But as a guy man I don't see anything wrong in that.

I am already showing him how to love because anytime I am kissing my wife, he always do same to her, in fact we use to drag for my wife's lips.

Like father like son.

My Dad never showed my mom love or affection in my presence even though they loved each other, it was like a taboo and that hasn't really helped me as a young man. I've had to learn this the hard way growing up, a lot of times from the wrong source/people.

Going forward, I'll show every affection to my wife in the presence of my kids to let them know it's ok to love and be expressive about it. As long as it's not to the point being made by the man above me *love making** grin grin

I don't know why some people are just local. Your parents never kissed in front of you doesn't mean it's wrong to kiss infront of your kids. The same people saying it's wrong to kiss infront of your kiss would feel totally comfy to slap their wives in front of their kids. Some mumus are saying you'll spoil your kids. 99% of what kids know, they learnt from t.v and friends. The closer you are to your kids the easier you teach them about sex.
Please don't be local and let your kids see the love in the family.

Late post. angry there is actually nothing wrong with it, but it should depend on the kind of children you have. As a parent you should know if you have a child that would give an excuse for kissing a girl/boy outside because he/she saw you doing it. Applies only to naija sha. grin grin

bennyrazz: when children see you handling, kissing your spouse or doing some other things, they tend to pick it up and practice such with their fellow children eg (mummy & daddy play) cheesy let's play the play mummy and daddy use to play, I am mummy you are daddy and they begin to do some funny things they see their parents do. In their own mind, it's not a harmful play but that's actually when sexual abuse begin. That's when children begin to sexually abuse each other without knowing. so it is wrong for parents to make out in front of their kids.
na wa o...if ds is ur reason. What of I (me personaly o) who never saw my parents display anything known as public affection save for d normal joint eating? I played daddy and mummy alot while younger... Bottomline: children learn alot frm diff source, itz better u fashion them the way u want than allowing some external force to do that for you. Mind you, they will never take a 'DON'T' for answer

Donchinex: NO! Many would say "It would spoil them". On the contrary, I think it is super important for parents to show affection to each other, especially in front of their kids. I'm not talking full on make-out and humping, but hugs, kisses, sitting on laps and saying "I love you" to each other as parents is something the kids need to see.
I grew up in a house where the reverse is the case...I never for once heard my parents say those "3 letter words" to each other. Even when my mum would want to make "advances", my dad would be like "not in front of the children";-). The only romantic scenario I do witness is their holding of hands while walking and when they call each other pet names.
I want my children to grow up actually seeing physical affection being displayed between me and their mother (future tense):-). If you can't kiss your wife at home no matter who is there, then really, it kind of makes you roommates.
Some parents worry that it would make their kids uncomfortable. NO!(If not taken to the extreme).
An adage says "the greatest good you can do a child is by showing love to the mother". Outside, when talking with their peers, they will gladly say things like "my parents still like each other".
***Bottom line***- I don't see any wrong for parents to display physical affection even when the kids are watching. #FromAFutureHusband8-). Your thoughts
Why has this post not received a thousand likes yet? Display of affection from the man to the mother of his kids can make the children feel so secure both within and without. It makes them also to see dad and mum as a team/patner rather than different individuals. Some kids have this attitude of choosing sides when they mess up in the home. If mum is a talker, they run to dad. Problem not solved; they'll repeat it tomorrow. But public display of affection makes the kids to know that dad and mum are one in both spirit, soul and body. A Bleep up to one is a Bleep up to both. They can then take discipline seriously.

And trust satan , he wil possess dem and they wil even go xtra mile like goin in hidden places e.g goin under d staircase for more of it, doin it when no one is around etc...

@OP. I'm in total agreement with you. That has always been my plan. To express full affection to my kids and in their presence to my wife. It ensures a stronger family bond and gives d children the idea of how to treat their spouses in future

However temperament plays a role in this. As much as d wife may like this, the husband may just be too cool, calm and so-called mature in nature and psychy not to do this to his wife and vice versa.

Its not wrong if some husband can bully their wife in front of the kids. Whatever you do sticks to their brain, they too can love their spouse better in future

A lot ; if not all that was not displayed in front of us as children, we still found out and majority from the wrong sources I believe it is part of education to learn proper interaction between opposite sex in the right family setting.

the reason why we have so many fail marriage these days is just because of poor upbring of many kids that latter grows into adult,i believe showing affection in the presence of kids should be a normal and a must do, because kids will carry on with this good memory and will want to be like their parent,fathers expecially should teach their sons thay when its, comes to marriage and decision making my wife comes first with this,u will see a well grown man with good knowledge how to be a great husband,affections should not be kissing and romancing in fronts of kids cos they will definately wanna try it out,goods words such as love u,missed u,u are the best should not be find missing in a happy home,i cant wait to get marry
