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 ?

You and your DP of all of six months need to calm down when you are in the school playground, FFS. And no, lifting someone into the air like the world cup trophy because you haven't seen each other for a whole week (was he not dropping his child off to school in that time?), is not normal. Certainly not in a. School. Playground. I can't emphasize that enough. It's embarrassing for your daughter, who is probably being teased, and if Romeo decides to dump you in a couple of months, it will be embarrassing for you, when everyone notices his booming mating call falls silent and he doesn't want to make eye contact with you anymore. I hope this is the real thing for you but just keep your private life private - it's not just your heart you would be guarding.

Sorry but you need to consider Dds feelings here, at her age it is embarrassing for her so respect that and maybe rein it in a bit around her.

Him lifting you in the air at school is so cringe.
Team daughter - its likely she's getting teased at school that her mum and new partner are so over the top at the school gate with affection.
The school gate is not the place for you to get affectionate.

Boyfriend, girlfriend or a married couple that’s inappropriate for the school run. It’s not about her wanting you to be single it’s because it embarrassing for her

Grow up!

Poor kid. Great way to ruin your relationship with her.

Guarantee you are the talk of the other parents with your kisses and lifting up in air carry ons.

I think you've forgotten how it feels to be 11 and the 11 year old attitude to grown ups kissing, or even dating in general. Give her some slack, her mum is having smooches in front of her school friends and peers!

Your poor child. She will be getting the absolute piss ripped out of her for your embarrassing behaviour. Imagine going through this display every morning.

You do know everybody is talking about you, don’t you?

I think that's all part of the fun....

He’s not your “partner” he’s a man you’ve been dating for 6 months. This is a new relationship.

YABU to act like cringey teenagers on a school run. It’s bad enough seeing teens do PDA around school never mind the parents.

Why would you do this? You've been dating 6 months, it's too early to be introducing him to your dd. PDA at school gate is embarrassing even I'm established relationships. Your DD is spot on.

Maybe that's what she was after.

Grow up

You're not teenagers and you're embarrassing your daughter

Save it till she's not there

Just Urrgh
she’s 11
just don’t

You are an adult, and I am sure you are capable of reining in your excitement at the school gates, @Werze.

Your dd isn’t saying she wants you to be single forever - she just wants you to stop the PDAs at the school gate.

If you won’t stop, you are basically telling your dd that her feelings don’t matter, and that is not going to make her any more positive about your new relationship - quite the opposite, in fact. If you really want her to never accept your new relationship, you are going the right way about it.

This

Not in so many words but she implied posters who thought she was BU must not be sexually active themselves.

Do you like going to National Trust places together?

How embarrassing , poor child please stop it

I'm dying of cringe just reading this, if I was at your school I would be dying laughing watching you with your teenage PDAs. Your poor daughter!! Just stop it and get a room.

😂 😂

Tongues and handsy - YABVU
Peck on the cheek, quick hug? YANBU

You need to both get there before the kids get out so you can get your pashing out of the way before your dd can see. If she doesn't want you doing it in front of her that's fair enough imo.

I'm not sure it is particularly normal for parents to embrace/kiss in the playground nobody does that where I am? We aren't teenagers

I would dump him! He’d have embarrassed the hell out of me never mind my daughter!

This!! I can’t believe you actually need telling not to act like a pair of 14 year olds while in the company of your children. Give me strength.
