AIBU for kissing DP on school run when DD dislikes it?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good one!
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Surely this is made up? If not I feel really sorry for your daughter, how embarrassing for her.

For the sake of comparison OP, at 10 my daughter used to ask me not to sing loudly at the school Christmas concert when the parents were allowed to join in at the end for a round of well known traditional carols because I have a well trained singing voice and it carries, and she said it was embarrassing. Which I understood so I sang very quietly. Embarrassing 10and 11 year olds is like shooting fish in a barrel, it’s too easy and not fair.

Good point 😆

The school run really is not an appropriate place to snog your boyfriend...

Your are embarrassing your daughter on different levels: the fact that you are doing this in front of other parents and her school friends and the fact that she has to deal with you kissing a man who is not her dad and who is not someone who is a regular part of her life yet and who you only met 6 months ago.

I never understand parents who just think that their kids have to be ok with having the people they date thrown into their lives.

Put your daughter first and stop behaving like a teenager.

Some things really need to be kept private.

If this turns into a serious relationship then introduce him to your daughter properly at a later date with a conversation or a day out, not by forcing her to witness your PDAs...

Though having said that, if nobody saw the da it wouldn't be p.

Another interesting observation is that practically every post is blaming the OP alone. 🤦‍♀️ MN posts truly keep on giving. 🤣

Wow, thank God you turned up. I was struggling to find a man to blame for this one.

Your daughter shouldn't even be aware of him after only 6 months. She definitely shouldn't have to watch you snogging in front of all her mates. Fucking stellar parenting right there.

Then don't have public fondles in front of your children

For some reason I’m thinking the OP sounds like Carol Barry in Waterloo Road 😬

As another poster said, they should definitely go to their work places and fondle and pash and romantically jump onto each other there, since their joy shouldn’t be squashed lets see how their colleagues all think about it. And leave the kids well out of it.

but I bet they won’t, because they know it’s behaviour that would be judged but don’t care how that affects their kids. They’d control their passionate urges just fine if their boss and their team were walking past.

Nobody really wants to see your pda's.
It is not appropriate, it really isn't.

You know those threads where posters are invited to list words that they hate? Words that make them cringe from the inside out? How, oh how, could I have forgotten FONDLE? Adding that now to my previous ‘favourites’ - cuddle and smooch😆 There’s a theme …

I used to kiss my boyfriend fairly passionately outside work when I was 22 and he had walked me to work. I cringe so hard when I think back.

Bullshit are you adults.

At least not mentally if you’re genuinely behaving like this - even coming on here to post, it’s just attention seeking. “Oh look at me, I’ve got a boyfriend. Look how much he loves me, he can’t keep his hands off me or wait even a few minutes for a kiss”.

It literally sounds like a couple of 15 year olds desperate for the world to see their star-crossed lovers act. Either that or you are marking your territory, a warning to the other mums “hands off, he’s mine”.

Your daughter shouldn’t even know that this guy exists beyond being another dad at the school gates. You’ve known him for 7 months, been together since when? Around the year mark of dating if you think it’s serious and he is likely to remain in your life, then introduce him to your kid as mums boyfriend - and even then keep the PDA to a minimum. Let her get used to the idea of a man in your life, and the change to all your lives and routines. For gods sake, don’t go moving him and his kid(s) in for at least a few years until you ALL know each other really well, the kids all get along, etc. Same in reverse, don’t move in with him. When you are a parent you don’t have the luxury of being able to have a whirlwind romance. You have to take it very slowly because you have a child to consider.

Urgh. She's distanced from her father, and you've been seeing a father at the school gate for only 6 months, and you do this at the school gate. How utterly clichéd and selfish.

You show absolutely no empathy for what your DD has gone through, and you are making this public display of frankly teenaged behaviour, in front of her schoolfriends. Yuk.

Well done for embarrassing your child before she has to go through the gates. Excellent parenting. A+.

It’s only been a few months, you hardly know him! I would find this embarrassing if I were a passerby, let alone your daughter. It’s nice that you like your boyfriend, but you need to chill with the PDA on the school run. You’re an adult!

Get a grip.
Unless he was actually hanging out of her in the playground?
All kids think their parents are embarrassing at certain points- for doing normal things and frankly just existing at times.That's for them to get over.

👏 👏 👏

Yeah, no one needs to do this in public on the School run… how ridiculous!

No just learn what is and isn’t appropriate behaviour and this simply isn’t appropriate behaviour in the school playground on a school run particularly where her daughter has to live with the consequences

and there will be teasing

Cringing for you, you’re making a right tit of yourself.
Why come here for advice and then make out it’s all a big joke?
I’m not surprised your daughter is embarrassed, just stop it.

Daughter - mum I don't like it, you are making me uncomfortable.

mum - I don't care!!!

Great way to show your daughter your priorities.

Absolutely... squash down everything that makes you human or gives you joy, just in case it pisses your kids off.
I mean- you're a parent and that's it right? 🙄Toe the line OP ffs.

And then you wonder why they're entitled little twats later down the line...
