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 know new relationships are exciting but it seems reasonable to wait 2 minutes for your daughter to go into the school gates, before snogging your partner. As you know sometimes parents have to do things that feel inconvenient to make their child feel comfortable.

Jesus op I’d be mortified. Your poor daughter and presumably dp’s kid/s too. Get a grip, walk out of school and have a little kiss there. You’re not in a movie, people aren’t going “awww look they’re so in love” they’re embarrassed for you.

I think 6 months is way way too early for your 11 year old to even have met him

Your daughter sounds more mature than you. You're PDA descriptions are making me cringe and I don't even know you. Have some respect and decency for goodness sake. You sound like a pair of lovesick teenagers which is pathetic to witness in grown adults. Why have you so little regard for your daughter's feelings? Stop making a spectacle of yourselves in front of everyone at the school gates.

This cannot be real - no one can lack that much self awareness surely!!

You’re poor DD!! of course shes embarrassed, I would be too!

No, you need to pack it in while your DC are there. You’re rubbing her face in it.

Why's your daughter even met him that early? Let alone being forced to watch PDAs in front of her friends?

Of course it's fine to act like that at the playground, you're both still in school arent you?

gross for adults.

You're joking right? Christ I'd have died if my actual parents had done this at school, nothing to do with if it's her Dad or not. Jesus.

Yep, that's not on.
She's not telling you not to date, she asking you not to embarrass her!

So you've just started dating this man and you are kissing him while dropping dd off at school.
Of course dd will be embarrassed! It's mortifying. At first I thought you meant you were expecting dd to kiss her parent.

Why is your partner not taking your daughters embarrassment into consideration? Red flag for me

Most obvious solution. A little bit self control for 5 minutes until bell rings...

yes my youngest is 12 and his normal run and give mummy a hug is gone until he gets in the car and we get home. Yes do it elsewhere

I would hate to see that carry on at the school gate and I'm not even related to you. Grim.

He.....lifted you up? Dear god, I'M embarrassed and I didn't even see it!

I don't care whether you haven't seen each other for 3 months, you don't stand whirling about and snogging like you're auditioning for a remake of Dirty Dancing, in public, in front of a school, in front of your daughter and her peers.

Keep the prancing, leaping, twirling, gazing into each other's eyes, kissing etc for in PRIVATE.

You need to pack it in and grow up, I'm sorry.

100% team daughter, head for a coffee after or a short walk. Sad for you but daughter's feelings must be priority over new man. Don't even do it once she's walked in until the gate is locked or you are a couple of streets away and unlikely that anyone she knows will walk past.

i’m embarrassed for you. Are you 16?
your poor daughter

Is this the National Trust snuggling poster?

Wouldn’t even kiss my husband on the school run. Loads of other times for that

When you say kiss do you mean a peck or a full on snog?

Either way you should probably reign it in, an 11yr old is going to be mortified with her mates seeing her mum n her fella all over each other.

You’ve been with the guy since September? He’s your boyfriend not your DP!

for your daughters sake I hope this isn’t true 🤢

Definitely not. Your DD obviously feels uncomfortable witnessing it, have some consideration.

Just no. Think of how this is for her. “ Millies mum is kissing Harry’s dad” you will be the talk of the playground amongst the kids. I remember 2 teachers dated at my primary children’s school and all the kids were fascinated!
