[quote=Anonymous]See what they say.  If he only sees them 50% or less of the time don’t clog up his time with his kids.  What I mean by that is meet them and see them occasionally but you should not be over there or taking time away from their dad if you can easily see the dad when they are at the other parents home.

A close friend was angry that when her dad started dating he would go out with his girlfriends on the weekends she was with him (every other weekend) instead of doing those date nights when the kids were with the mom.  Teens will have lots of activities and things to do so you’ll have plenty of time to see their parent but don’t hog their time with their parent.

I was forced to meet my moms boyfriend (dad died many years prior) before I was ready.  I was early teen and my sibling basically ran downstairs and refused to finish the meal.  In our defense we were basically told either that day or the night before we were meeting her boyfriend and had no idea she was dating.  K would have rather been told she was dating someone then maybe a while later ask if we wanted to meet him for breakfast or get an ice cream, ask if he could come watch a game, etc.  The actual first meeting was a dinner in my childhood home, my safe space and it just didn’t feel right at the time.

Go slow.  They broke up so it didn’t matter in my case.  I was happy she was seeing someone I was just indifferent and upset she thought it was ok to not only spring it on us but soon after have him to our home. I’m sure he had been there when we were out, but still.   He also seemed kind of like a loser if I’m honest and wanting her money… [/quote]
