Ex-Spice Girl Victoria Beckham caused a bit of a tweetstorm when she posted a photo of herself kissing her little girl Harper smack on the mouth.
The shot shows mother and daughter in a pool, Victoria’s hair in a casual topknot, Harper’s in pigtails. The proud mom of four writes: “Happy birthday baby girl.” She was turning 5.
The Instagram photo, posted three days ago, already garnered 568,000 likes.
Most people responded with words of encouragement about the sweet display
“Keep on kissing your kids! Show them love,” ansjeliek posted.
Yet some found the image disturbing.
“This is the craziest thing I’ve seen on IG for sure!!!” writes yusra khan.
Summit, N.J. therapist Susan Stein did not go quite so far but did question how appropriate it is.
Melissa Gerstein, co-host of The Moms on Sirius XM, says she kisses her daughters, 11 and 7, on the lips, but stopped doing so with her son, 14.
“It’s loving and warm and affectionate and may we all kiss our children on the lips for as long as we can,” Gerstein says.
So as long as the kids are OK with it, pucker up, baby.
