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 ?

No, they simply don’t think their 11 year olds needs any idea of what they are or aren’t getting!

Normally I would say she doesn’t get to dictate. However him picking you up? that is ridiculous. Performative PDAs are tacky af and it looks like your daughter is more socially aware than you or your partner. She is probably having the piss taken out of her for the way you both behave.

If I see someone making excessive PDAs, I tend to remember that the ones I know are often the most insecure.

Or just not getting it in front of children.

Ah I see, you've had your fun now, clearly a wind up.

At this age they don't want to see their parents kids, let alone one with a new partner (another kids Dad !!) AT SCHOOL.

school is her place, not yours, respect that.

Probably more than you over the last 11 years...just behind closed doors where it should be!

Urgh. No matter who you are, who youre with and how DD feels about it, that's not Ok on the school run.

What a show.

its natural to be excited, it's not reasonable to act like a couple of hormone driven teenagers at your kids school.

Yabu, this is so embarrassing for her infront of all the other school kids it’s not appropriate.

On the plus side, they probably aren’t getting it in front of everyone on the school run from someone they have only been with for 5 minutes and humiliating their child into the bargain

What a lovely mum you are OP. As long as you’re enjoying yourself, stuff the feelings of your child 🙄🙄

You've known the bloke 6 months and you're doing this shit at the school gate embarrassing her and yourselves.

Poor kid, her mates will be laughing about it. Her friends parents will be laughing about it.

Grow up and keep your relationship between yourselves. You're not actually at school yourselves you know.

I think you want to do this at the school gates for the benefit of the other parents - to show off that you now have a boyfriend.
Bit pathetic and I can see why your child is embarrassed. You should be too!

Oh grow up.

just because we consider our kids feelings & don't act like teenagers in the school
play ground 🙇🏻‍♀️

So quality time with your boyfriend is spent on a playground? Weird. I guess you built your relationship on the playground too? The second hand embarrassment i would have for you as a parent is real, let alone your mortified DD and her peers. What about his child, what do they think? It’s beyond inappropriate, whose benefit is the performance for? Control yourself!
You should have been extremely apologetic to your DD, shes setting a clear boundary in HER space. Respect it, don’t come online to slag her off.

Met a school run dad (now DP) in September, knew each other for a while then dated and went from there

DP? 🙄🤣🤣 you haven't even known him 7 months, let alone been an item. Partner??🤣🤣

Sorry but that's revolting.

Bloody hell, you sound very immature. How embarrassing for your child.

Oh come on! The poor girl must be mortified with you acting like a giddy teen! I'm cringing for you op.

OP: AIBU

99% of replies: Yes, Very.

OP: "You're just jealous 'cos I'm all lurved up and you dried-up old hags aren't getting any".

Okay then.

Not in front of dc OP, its a week apart not a year.
