[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]11:49- this is literally the first person I have dated in maybe five years. So "dating around" is not actually happening. We are serious, and monogamous. My daughter has met him in passing. She is happy that I am happy - I am a perfectly capable single parent with a fantastic social life. I also have a great relationship with her dad, my coparent. We have modeled good coparent behavior for her. But at some point I would like her to see either or both of her parents in functioning relationships. Which means introducing her to someone at some point. The whole six month thing is arbitrary. I would not have some casual boyfriend sleep over or give him access to my child.  Some of you all really need to stop with the judgment of single parents. [/quote]

[b]My question is why do you want or need your daughter to meet these men?

I chose to have my daughter meet my now husband because I saw him as someone I wanted to have in my life permanently and needed to know how he was with the person who was going to be in my life permanently.
6 months may seem arbitrary to you but it is a pretty good basiune to start feeling someone out as a person.

Dating when you have a kid is different than when you don't you can't afford to be carefree and hope for the best you can't be too cautious.[/quote]

This. Just date when your kid is with your ExH. It sounds like you're bringing your kid along to events that are for adults, not families. Not a good idea.[/quote]
