[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh please. Just because you have kids doesn’t mean you can’t date. Ask your son why he doesn’t want to se him. He doesn’t have to like him, but he needs to respect him just like your bf needs to respect him. I dated with my son and no lie, it was rough with jealousy but we ended up married with another child, and my son loves him more than anything. My husband treats him no differently than his own.

No one is saying she can’t date, but there is NO GOOD REASON, other than self serving ones, for a mother to introduce her children to a guy she has only dated for 4 months. “Seeing a future”, and “planning a future” are different things. [/quote]

The op in her original post said her son told her he does not want her to see the man anymore.

No kid should have veto power over who his mo dates especially on days she doesn’t have custody. (Absent abuse, child molestation etc)[/quote]

I’m sorry, did you miss the part in my post where I think it’s crystal clear that this child should not have even met this man yet? She’s not dating on the days she doesn’t have custody.. she’s dragging these kids out for ice cream, etc.

The child does have dominion over his life, in some respects. He doesn’t get veto power, but he does get to communicate his wants and needs. OP is the adult, who is a parent. She can choose what she wants, but it does not necessitate her children being all smiles and rainbows when what she is doing is way too fast.
