when are u/did u allow a man you are seeing to meet yous kids?


I dont want to confuse Wyatt at all and was basically going to play it by ear depending on legnth of dating and how serious it was.

Geez, I can't remember how many weeks/months...it's been awhile (like more than a decade!). But it was like when I *knew* he'd be around for a while. Like, we could be permanently dating exclusively. There were other guys I went on dates with, but I think maybe 2 other bf ever met dd#1. DH would be #3. Now her bio DAD on the other hand, lol...there was someone new just about every time she went to visit him! :roll:

I dated my DH for over a month and a half before my son met him. My son was also 13 yrs old at the time. It was actually New Years Eve and the first time my parents also met him.

I had to know that the new BF would be more of a permanent fixture before I let Evan meet him.

I "Knew" Chris- my DH was the one.

The weekends I work my son would stay at my parents since I worked 2- 12 hours shifts on both Saturday and Sunday and that was too long for him to stay by himself. And his natural "father" only got him when it was conveinent for "HIM". Well Chris decided a good way to get to know Evan was if he stayed on my weekends I worked and spent the whole weekend with Evan one on one so they could get to know each other. That way Evan could stay at his own house to play with his friends and such.

His own father doesn't spend whole weekends with him!

This is when I knew in my heart that Chris was a really special person!

Ive already warned Richard about bringing Wyatt around girls. If i find out I will take away right to see him until he gets court orders to make me which will take forever seeing how hes not on birth certificate and would have to get tests and all before we could go to court

Well that works out in your favor then...waaay back in the day, after several things happened I didn't like, the court papers basically say the bio dad cannot just move romantic interests into the house, and dd must have her own room, and pictures must be provided prior to any visits with him, and all this other piddly shit that seems like a waste of time to mention (except it's only there because stuff has happened in the past). :? He's done so much evil rotten shit though up to and including being arrested/jailed she doesn't go see him really...the grandparents are visitation fill-ins. The lesser of two evils!

Sorry...kinda ot there!

[color=indigo:58b7a95ae8]I know that I had absolutely no intentions of dating anyone for a LONG time...except then I met Chris...but, anyway, here is nothing wrong with not wanting to date and to figure out yourself. I spent many months thinking about what I wanted and I had a plan of when I would start to try and date again. I was going to move, get settled, and then, maybe this fall I would start to think about another man..(again, the plan didn't work out that way, but good things can happen when you are not trying to find them).

As far as bringing men around Alex, I was not going to do it right away, but I changed my mind when I met the guy I am seeing atm. He is a keeper, and I knew it right away. So, I would say use really good judgment...and sit down and figure out what you want and what you WILL NOT put up with and stick to it!!![/color:58b7a95ae8]
