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 ?

What an embarrassment. Reign it in for your DD's sake if nothing else.

Oh, good gawd people. It was a kiss, a bit movie-like, but fgs, a kiss. They weren't all hands and get a room. I fear there are a lot of repressed keyboard warriors out tonight.
Of course OP's dd is mortified. She's 11. It's her job to call her mother out on anything and everything. 🤣🤣🤣
@Werze don't think it will end any time soon, either. I complimented a woman for her bright pink long puffer vest today and she laughed and said her 25 year old daughter was mortified she was wearing something so bright. 🤣🤣🤣

Excellent thread @Werze, especially the bit where DP lifted you up!

Cannot wait for next episode 😂

Yes, cringe. Are you still on the younger side? I can’t imagine doing that on the school run these days even if I were dating Ryan Gosling.

This sounds immensely cringey and tbh almost like you want everyone to look.

Why on earth can’t you both wait till the kids have gone through the gate, go round the corner and do your PDAs there??

On the school run?

Its performative ‘look we are fucking’ - nobody needs to see that shit. I think the OP sees it as movie like when I would lay odds it was more tacky than romantic

And if the daughter is having the piss taken out of her (because I can’t see how that could be avoided - ‘ewwww your mum was all over Johnny’ dad’.

@Werze far too much ! Don’t do it toyour dd . I feel embarrassed for her.

Your poor daughter. I would have died of embarrassment if my mum had turned up at school and kissed one of the other parents. You need to grow up.

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?

It’s even more cringe that he also has a child in that school. There was a parent that was told she couldn’t behave like that outside our local SN youth club. She was seen snogging her boyfriend outside. Not just a peck a full on snog.

I’m sorry he isn’t your partner, he is the man you are dating or your boyfriend.

your child is embarrassed by your pDA so I would stop it. Plus if the relationship fizzles out less awkwardness. Remember if you break up daughter will be faced with ‘why has your mum stopped kissing xxx’s dad’

Has she actually said she wants you to remain single? It doesn’t sound like that, it sounds like she doesn’t want to see you kissing your new boyfriend at school. I think that’s perfectly reasonable, I’d be embarrassed too, just wait until the kids have gone in? This is a very new relationship so just keep level headed.

Hiding round a corner for a harmless fondle would be well childish, we are adults fgs 😂

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

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?

we were hugging and he sort of got me to jump up and held me for a bit to kiss.

How long did this last @Werze ?
Any grinding or moaning? 🕵️‍♀️

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.

No, it would be considerate. You sound really teenage.

so embarrassing and cringe

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

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

Why can't anyone see that this is a wind up?

Because people who behave like this exist

No. Boak.

I don't think ive ever seen parents kissing at the school gate
