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 ?

Nothing to do with her wanting you to be single for ever and everything to do with her not wanting to have to see you kissing anyone, not to mention not wanting her classmates to see either...think most 11 year olds would feel the same 😅 just wait till the poor girls gone into class 😆

Neither you, nor your dd, abu.

She’s not asking you to stay single, she’s asking you to not kiss another parent on the drop off. I mean, drop off takes minutes, can’t you just wait until it’s finished to be affectionate. Your boyfriend lifting you up is cringe.

Bit cringe on the school run, OP.

I think most kids would find that embarrassing at that age.

Oh god cringe 🤮 for God's sake leave each other alone, you're a grown adult - control yourselves on the school run and around your daughter

Surely that’s just inappropriate in a playground regardless. No adults need to be all kissing and hugging and picking each other up to kiss in a playground damn.

Grow up. Surely you can wait till the children are in school and your off the grounds even if your still stood on the street. Have some self respect and decorum.

Shag in his car at Tesco carpark the second you see each other but leave the playground and the children out of it 🤷🏻‍♀️

I missed the deleted post. Is that what she actually said?

If at the school gates, it just embarrassing for her, no only adults are embracing. I kind of get it!

You met in september and now he's your partner, despite only seeing him when you cross paths doing the school run... ok, I'd describe this as casually dating but anyway.

I'd seriously be 🙄 if I saw this as another parent on the school run nevermind if it was my mother doing it. Conduct your relationship in private, if you haven't seen oneanother all week arrange to meet after your children are dropped at school, there is no reason for this level of PDA dropping children off at school. I'm not surprised your daughter is annoyed.

We're apparently jealous because we aren't getting any.

Some things are best not happening at the school gate...this is one of them. Embarrassing your DD and probably his child too never mind fodder for the other gossips at the gate.

Well if she hasn’t seen him in a week I’m definitely getting more and leaving the playground out of it 😂😂

Okay this is way too much

Kids are already annoyed at being dropped off by their parents, there’s no need to add to it

Well exactly!

It's really not nice for your daughter. When you say "school run" do you mean on the walk to school or actually at the school gate/ on the playground - because that's not nice for anyone.

I think we’re probably getting more than the OP.

I mean obviously we’re all just jellus I mean come on ladies who wouldn’t want to be felt up in the school playground in front of 11 year olds.

And as this pair just can’t keep their hands off each other I mean sure a cheeky BJ in the car park wouldn’t be a problem - those pesky kids can just deal with it

Way too much at school.

She will be ridiculed by all her friends - you need to rein it in.

I kiss and embrace my partner in front of my kids occasionally. At home. Not in front of their friends. Not at their school. And rarely in public generally. It’s MY relationship, not theirs, and they don’t want or need to see me snogging him every time I see him.

I am cringing for your daughter

I wonder where all of my dc came from if I’m not getting any.

Is that a joke? Who gets ‘carried away’ while outside a primary school packed with children?

I bet she’s getting the mick taken by her mates badly.

Honestly, the discomfort over this is worthy of analysis. 🤣

Definitely with the daughter here.

Even calling a man you've been dating six months your partner is a bit much. Kissing at the school gates is definitely cringey. I'd be embarrassed and I'm in my forties.

Your poor daughter, she must be mortified and you are likely the talk of the playground with that kind of behaviour.
