[quote=Anonymous]Here's what I would say to them: You are NOT allowed to roll your eyes or make belittling comments about Sarah. You ARE entitled to have feelings about me dating her. So let's talk about those feelings. Is it just the idea of me dating that bothers you? Are you worried I'll put someone else above you? Are you upset about the time I spend with her because it means less time with you? Are you afraid she's going to try to act like your mom? Those are all legitimate feelings and we can discuss those. But what you can't do is be rude to her.

I think you need to get to the root of the problem here. Your kids come first, and your girlfriend can either appreciate that or not. She doesn't have to tolerate being treated badly, of course, and your kids aren't allowed to be rude to her. But they are allowed to dislike her, not want you to date her, etc. So listen to their actual feelings and then decide how to move forward. Right now you're all acting a bit like children. [/quote]
