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 ?

Wow, if this is real you're definitely unreasonable. School drop off really isn't the time for kissing, even if it was your husband and the father of your child let alone a new boyfriend who you met through school that's super embarrassing for her.

Cringe.

Do you understand the sort of stick your daughter will be getting from her classmates if they seen you too.

It’s actually a really tricky age when they are starting sex education and become aware of sexual behaviour, lots of silly comments get made. Your behaviour is completely unnecessary and you seriously risk damaging your relationship with your daughter.

It's really not normal for couples to embrace and kiss on the school run. Your poor DD.

Listen to your daughter.

Don’t embarrass her.

She is more important than you. Be her mum first.

Reign in the PDA, yes embarrassing. Let DD make her own way to school and go get a room.

You need to rein it in. She’s told you she isn’t comfortable with you kissing on the school run - respect it instead of acting like you are 13!

Fine to have a partner. Not fine for any pda at school gate, most children would be mortified. Apologise to dd and reassure it wont happen again.

This ^ Reign it in a little. Its weird making out in front of your child and her friends. PDA in front of your child's school is also weird. It's still early days in your relationship , dont shit where you eat -or rather, where your daughter eats.

No, this is completely inappropriate. You've only been going out with him since September, most advice on here is usually to not even introduce him to your kids for a year.

Obviously that's not possible due to him being a school Dad, but she really doesn't need to see a bit of a snog on the school run.

What the fuck? In the school playground or in the vicinity of? That’s incredibly inappropriate. Your poor poor daughter.

A brief peck is all that’s appropriate on the school run. No jumping (even for a peck) or holding for a bit.

And given she’s objected and he’s a school dad, which complicates your DD’s relationships at school, even a brief peck is really inconsiderate.

Poor kid 🤦‍♀️

Have you forgotten what it’s like to be 11?

Jump up how? Legs wrapped round??

Wow, I can just imagine how embarrassed our DDs would be at such a PDA in front of their schoolmates! Just completely inappropriate.

I'm sure the breakup will be just as dramatic.

Your new bf is okay with embarrassing your kid and making a sexual display with you in front of young kids and parents at drop off. He sounds like the kind of creepy asshole you should keep very, very, very far from your daughter.

Doesn’t bode well for your dd, introducing a man you’ve know romantically for 10 mins into her life and not being aware enough of her feelings that you are allowing yourself to be lifted up and snogged in the playground. Also what kind of man, a dad, is also so unaware does that in the school playground.

The two of you need to grow up and remember what your priorities are. If your dd is struggling with your relationship you do it away from her and introduce her to the idea slowly until she is more comfortable. If he is a decent man he will understand.

Criiiiiiinge!

Stop acting like silly lovestruck teenagers at the school gate, you're adults!

She needs to get used to you dating, but you could tone the public displays down a bit, you're not 13.

You jumped up onto him and kissed in the schoolyard? This is so inappropriate. Other parents will also be talking. I’ve never seen anyone kiss at school drop off or pick up.

You are not a safe person for your daughter.
Please don’t have this man under the same roof as your DD as you seem so careless about the safety and happiness of your daughter.

As my kids would say, put it away.

My 9 year old would be MORTIFIED if me and DH did this outside school and I wouldn't want to upset her. Why aren't you respecting her feelings?

Ok this can’t be real.

Unfortunately it sounds true im not surprised the daughter is feeling embarrassed at this behaviour i almost feel embarrassed on her behalf tbf
