My wife sometimes plays a game with our son when they're saying goodbye to each other. He grabs her by the cheeks and gives her a firm kiss on the lips. While he's giving her a kiss (and holding her by the face), she squeals and acts like he's assaulting her.It may seem cute to her but it makes me uncomfortable. As a male, I worry that she's subliminally enforcing some kind of non-consent which is probably sending him some mixed signals. Particularly when I'm really trying to enforce respect for women and modeling good behaviour.I've discussed it with her but she fobs me off and says I'm off base, "it's just a harmless game"Am I overreacting or is it a little weird? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2pTolhW
