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

[Werze]

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 ?

How old is she?

how old is she ?

11 sorry

I'm not sure my DC would meet a new partner after only 6 months.

I think you need to reign it in.

Im afraid im with your daughter on this, save her the embarrassment and keep the kissing for private it’s not her fault you don’t see each other often. Its hard enough seeing your parent move on without having to see them kiss outside your school!

No she can't but equally I don't think it's that difficult to listen to her and avoid 'embracing and kissing' at the school gate either? Think how embarrassing it must be for her! And that's without the added confusion of seeing you with another partner. Can't you just wait til she's gone in?

I just don't think it seems necessary. Why would you not wait till the children have gone in?

Obviously YABU

Your dd dislikes you kissing your boyfriend on the school run. It clearly embarrasses her. So don’t do it.

Such an easy parenting win I’d have thought!

She’s not asking you to stay single forever, she’s asking you not to kiss on the school run cause it’s embarrassing. I’m inclined to agree with her.

She isn’t asking you to remain single she is asking you not to kiss in front of her on the school run.

I feel so sorry for your DD that you can’t just be more respectful

Everything you do at 11 is embarrassing to her so I'd crack on and say don't look then! 😂

Embarrassing for her and completely unnecessary, unless the purpose is deliberately to be seen by others. Why can’t you drop your kids off and walk out of school together? Save your snogging for when the kids have gone in.

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

Can’t you drop her off then snog your partner?

You don’t have to remain single but it’s a well known age for starting to feel embarrassed or disgusted about the adults in your life having pda or sex.

Hmm I think you shouldn't have to stay single till you're kids grow up but I do see how that would be odd/embarrasing for your mum to walk up to another school parent and kiss them.

Have you asked her if she's getting teased about it by other school kids? Hows the relationship between her and your boyfriends kid?

Must be a bit awkward for her with everyone watching? She is only 11. Can you not just wait another 5 minutes until the kids have all been dropped off /gone into school?

Oh please tell me this is made up.

That’s embarrassing for anyone to watch imo. Surely you could have met outwith the school run? It all sounds a bit OTT.

Your child won't care about you being excited to see the man you're dating, she will be uncomfortable around the stranger and embarrassed at the kissing, being lifted, and embracing in front of her.

Keep it to yourselves, it's easy.

Do you know what's natural?

Putting your kids feelings above your own in situations like this.

Wait 5 minutes until she's in school ffs.

So you did a massive PDA peeformance infront of your kids school while all other kids were there. You know your not 15 right?

Yeah that is unreasonable.

Your poor dd, she probably had the micky taken out of her all day.

Not when you have a child. Poor thing, I do actually think you are letting her down a bit. I suspect everyone else around is pretty unimpressed too. It's just not the place.

Could be a name change?
