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 ?

I’m really surprised that you lack such self awareness that you feel it is appropriate to be doing this on the school run.

Beat me to it , 🤣

Oh thank god, much better than grown adults behaving like this 😂

Ok

Don’t be dramatic with the ‘can’t stay single forever’ hyperbole but really PDA’s on the school run - absolutely cringey!
And no I’m not sure ‘any normal couple’ are kissing and cuddling in front of their kids when it’s only a few months in.
Sounds very teenage attention seeking - you not her

Absolutely no need to kiss on the school run.

Absolutely stop it at the school gate FFS. How mortifying for your daughter. You're a grown woman, not 16! Pretty sure you can contain your excitement.

If this is real you are being massively unreasonable. Team daughter all the way here and I’m no prude.

You really can’t see the difference between you being able to date, and ridiculously performative PDAs on the school run?

Nah that's grim for a kid. Keep your snogging for when she's not around. Doesn't matter if it's your mum and dad or your mum and a school dad, no child wants to see any pash activity at the start of the school day, or ever tbh but esp en route to school. I think you're pretty self-centred to not understand this.

your adults behaving like teens.

show some respect for your children!

Kiss after the kids have gone inside

Yes it is , I can’t edit OP now to say

Ffs was just about to say the same.
Surely a wind up.

On the off chance it’s not, can’t you just wait 2 mins until she’s not there. Seems like an obvious thing to do.

I'm sure you are a great mum OP but right now you're being selfish about this. I can imagine nothing worse as a preteen than my mum behaving in this way. Your daughter is not controlling your dating life, she's asking you not to have PDA on her school run which most parents wouldn't expect to do. You need to accept there have to be boundaries or you will risk ruining your relationship with her.

Agree. It’s very ‘look at us we’re sooooooooooo loved up’

I bet the other kids and parents are eye rolling so hard

I'm cringing for you. Poor child. How embarrassing.

That’s quite cringe for everyone at the school gates not just your dd 🫣

It might be natural to be excited but it is also ok to suppress it.

I think 6 months is soon to introduce a child to your relationship and kissing outside school is way too much. Lifting you up in the air is actually making me a bit secondhand embarrassed too.

6 months after meeting your children should hardly know your dating let alone have it being turned into a playground show

This has got to be a windup, surely? Who is this insensitive?

It's grim, I would have hated my own parents kissing each other on the school run and they have been together for years. Surely you could contain yourself until the kids have gone in?

😂 getting plenty but not getting any outside a primary school 😂

I'm embarrassed for you and I'm 42 😳
Your poor, poor daughter having to live with her mother's embarrassing lack of self control, at the school gate no less for all of her friends to witness.
Please grow up.
