At what point do you introduce your children into a relationship?

I have a friend who constantly is in and out of relationships. She always post pictures on Facebook of her two kids with the guys she's with right when they start dating. This year alone, she has been in two different relationships and the most recent guy moved in with her and her two children (3 years old and 5 years old) a few weeks after they started dating.

1. At what point does a parent introduce their children into a relationship?
2. How fricked up in the head will these kids get with all the strange men moving in and out?


Never been in this situation and hope I never will, but I've seen a few of my friends do this to their children and it just doesn't seem healthy to the kids.

You're talking about a trashy person, so the question isn't exactly the same if answering in regards to trash.

Mine meet my GF about 2 months after we started dating.

I meet my GF kids about a month after we started dating.


better to find out any issues between you, kids, or person your dating then to find out later. I say after your comfortable with the person then it's okay to let them meet your kids. 2-6 months


It also depends on if your kids understand divorce or if they have been around other family members who have gone through this prior to you and your SO breaking up.

Don't. The kids aren't going to care one way or the other, certainly not how they're mom's hoping they will. She's looking for validation and is willing to accept it from her children, at their expense. She won't receive any of course, and that's why she'll move on to the next fool willing to frick a milf who looks alright in workout clothes.

She probably still wants the fairytale thing she thinks has managed to slip through her fingers all this time.

Your friend sounds like a real catch..smh

1. I guess as soon as she starts fricking them.
2. Pretty F'd up. They have no future. Call CPS!

Typically it's around nine months into things. That is, assuming that the two of you got it in on the first date and your swimmers did their job.

If you're not a trashy arse cum dumpster, at least a couple of months. If the person you're with can't respect that you're making that decision so you're not parading a line of SOs in front of your kids then they're not worth the relationship.

Incredibly.

I advise clients going through divorce to wait until you are divorced one year before introducing kids to dating partner and then only after you've been in relationship 6 months.

The relationship between a child and a parents dating partner can be very confusing to a child. They can grow to like the person, let down guard, overcome concerns of guilt, and then through no action on their part... Suddenly this person can be gone if the relationship doesn't work out.

She sounds classy. Do the two children have different fathers?
