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 ?

This. Honestly op don’t you remember what it’s like being a kid? My kids go ‘urgh’ when I kiss their dad I wouldn’t dream of doing it on the school run!

I knew this thread reminded of something. I went back to look at that thread later and couldn't find it. Did it get deleted because the OP didn't like the resposes?

@Mochudubh not sure but the loves young dream vibe is very similar 😂

Jesus, your poor kid. So embarrassing for her. Keep the displays of affection for when you are alone.

You're having PDAs with your BF of a whopping 6 months in front of a bunch of preteens at a school.

She shouldn't even have met your BF after 6 months, much less you putting on a display in front of her and her schoolmates. You've rushed things and she's unhappy about it. Stop putting dick over your kid.

Thanks, all I could remember was the lurved-up couple holding hands and "snuggling" while rolling their eyes at a harassed mother trying to give her kids a nice day out.

YABU. No one needs or wants to see PDAs. Especially an 11 y.o. in front of their friends. Grow up! It's fine to miss DP and be excited but PDAs not ok.

This can’t be real if it is grow the fuck up and stop embarrassing your poor kid. No one would think this is reasonable or acceptable to do at this school gates. All the other parents must be massively rolling their eyes and cringing at you

I would cringe myself inside out if couples were snogging and behaving like they are in a budget romcom on the school run.

Aged 53 and getting plenty.

Surely this is a piss take? How utterly grim to get carried away in front of your primary aged child who's already told you it makes her uncomfortable. Please grow up and act like a mother first. You only have to wait two minutes until she's gone into class FFS.

You're ridiculous,most kids that age don't want to see mum and dad kissing ,anywhere,let alone at the school gates. Seeing a parent with their new bf would be extra embarrassing

You're encroaching on her territory here, it's completely inappropriate.

Would you expect people who worked together and were in a relationship to behave like this in their place of work?

Don’t know why my post was deleted! Only said it was a wind up, obviously it is! Nobody would do this on the school run surely!

Ah stop.
You cant be this oblivious surely

Im cringing for her.

'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.'

This with bells on.

Just cringed myself inside out as the kids would say. Embarrassing

Omg! Are you serious?! You can't see anything wrong with that? I am cringing and am neither there nor am I 11 years old...get a grip

Put your child first.

How cringe for your daughter and the other parents and teachers who have to see it when they let the kids in and wave them off in the afternoon.

In all the years I've spent dropping the kids off at school I've never seen anyone snogging at the school gates.

I'm cringing for your poor DD

Is this a wind up? I am with your child on this one. She cant expect you to remain single no, but equally you need to rein your behaviour in at the school gate by what youre saying. I can honestly say ive never seen any couple 'embrace' a kiss/affection at the school gates in front of children.

The other parents also don’t want to see this.
And the talk of all the kids at school is 100% “I saw Sophie’s mum kissing Josh’s dad on the playground.”
”Sophie’s mum and Josh’s dad sitting in a tree. K I S S I N G”

This.
