[quote=Anonymous]That's wayyy to short a time of dating to force your kids to hang out with him three nights a week. Girls that age just don't feel comfortable with an unrelated man in the house, and you're making them have to be on company behavior and company attire. If he's showing up unpredictably, that means they're always a little on edge because they don't know when they'll have to be in Future Stepdaughter mode.

They know this is not just some platonic friend who stopped by. They know all too well that you'll be trying to make him be their stepfather and then they'll have to be dealing with him all the time and get way less time 1:1 with you.  And they'll have stepsiblings and either have to move in with the stepfamily or let the stepfamily move in with them. That he'll start making changes and laying down rules and their lives will change in ways they don't like. Your daughters are not stupid. They see where this goes.

You have to account for the possibility that they just don't like him. I'm an adult and I don't like my mom's partner. It's not because of the divorce or any issues. I just think he's an annoying loser and a mooch. That's okay. Not everyone likes everyone's boyfriend! Do you like all your friends' partners? I doubt it. [/quote]
