My mother-in-law kiss my child lips

My mother-in-law (MIL) is the caregiver of my child and everytime I fetch my child home, she will give a goodbye kiss my MIL. A kiss on the cheeks is ok, but how do I tell my MIL not to kiss on the lips?

I think you could let her known that you feel uncomfortable with kisses on the lips, and that you don't even do that yourself. This is a pretty sensitive topic to bring up as your MIL may feel hurt if you tell her that you don't want her to do that. I'd suggest telling your child to give goodbye kisses on your MIL's cheeks also, instead of allowing your MIL to kiss her on the lips.
