I not only mean it as in 'french-kissing your partner', but also things like 'kissing someone's hand out of reverence' and 'kissing the kids good night'.

Kissing can definitely be weird in the US but it kinda depends: Kissing a kid on the forehead? Ok. Kissing a kid on the lips? Weird.

On a related note: Don't kiss babies at all because, regardless of the culture they live in, their immune systems are still developing - don't let anyone kiss your baby even if they claim they're healthy (imagine having lifelong herpes because your parent let some dipshit kiss you when you were a baby). Don't give an infant honey either.
