Page 6 | AIBU for kissing DP on school run when DD dislikes it?

Werze · 2026-03-26T17:49:34+00:00

DD has had yet another massive go at me after school today. I broke up from her father when she was v young. Didn’t date for ages. Met a school run dad (now DP) in September, knew each other for a while then dated and went from there. Obviously we can’t see loads of each other so school run is one of only opportunities in week. Naturally happy to see each other and embrace/kiss as any normal couple would. DD kicking off saying she doesn’t want to see this. AIBU? She can’t expect me to remain single for ever surely ?

@Werze oh dear. Are you now cringing yourself or still thinking you did nothing wrong?

Don’t be ridiculous. It’s just that most responsible parents don’t involve their new shag in their kids’ lives when they haven’t been together long.

Met last weekend at the pub: new shag
dating SIX MONTHS: not new shag
🤦‍♀️

She was extra annoyed today because DP lifted me up ,got a bit carried away we haven’t seen each other since last week due to his work. We won’t repeat that but it’s just natural to be excited to see someone surely

Cast your mind back for just a second and imagine this is your mum and someone else's dad on on the school run...it's social suicide for her it will get ooooohhhh kissy kissy comments at best and potentially some more Inappropriate ones. I would have been mortified if my mum.n her shag were acting like a rom com at the gates

IdentityCris · 26/03/2026 23:22

Tell me, how many other parents do you see hugging and kissing each other at the school gates?

You’ve been dating for 6 months - DC shouldn’t even be meeting boyfriends/girlfriends until minimum 6 months

Wait...what? So, OP has met the 6 month threshold, no? And, could you link the rules, please?

This sounds embarrassing behavior. I hated having to explain’s mum’s partner at that age. School is her space.

You are being very, very unreasonable and I feel for your daughter. You’ve been dating for 6 months - DC shouldn’t even be meeting boyfriends/girlfriends until minimum 6 months into a relationship (longer is generally advisable, after you’re out of the honeymoon period, for the reasons you demonstrate). He isn’t your ‘partner’, he’s your new boyfriend and DD is having to contend with this huge change in her life and on top of it see her mum snogging on the school run.

Yes, you absolutely can date. But (next time) keep your child out of it until you’ve been together longer, properly know the person, and can keep your hands off each other in front of the kids - above all in public and especially on the school run!

I’m with your DD. This sounds nauseating. Meet up few minutes earlier and get your canoodling out of the way before the kids come out of school.

MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack · 26/03/2026 23:13

God, I'm cringing for you and your DP. Kissing and cuddling on the school run is wildly inappropriate. Grow up, get a room and stop embarrassing your poor children.

then act like it. And FGS put your DD first. She doesn’t like it( you not only ignored that, you did it on her turf.

Grow up. And reassure your child she comes first.

They are both at fault but the issue is the OP’s DD who has to deal with her mother and her new bloke practically shagging at the school gate. The only one that isn’t at fault is the child.

Because people who behave like this exist

If I believed this I'd say it's one of the more pathetic selfish things I've read on here.

And that's saying something

Lol I didn’t mean like that, we were hugging and he sort of got me to jump up and held me for a bit to kiss. Definitely wasn’t a dirty dancing scene, no wonder so many people picked up on my comment if that was the confusion 😂

So This doesn’t sound like the spontaneous PDA - he ‘got you to jump up’ 🤮🤮

Actually if you have to do it, going round the corner would perhaps not open your child up to so much piss taking.

What happens when if you split? Will you try to get another school dad for convenience? Or will you bring your next bloke to the school run?

YABVU to introduce a new boyfriend to children when it’s only been 6 months, that’s a huge red flag in itself.

YABVU to carry on with public displays of affection outside the school while children are going in. Why can’t you wait until kids have gone in, and go around the corner where you can’t be seen?
