[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, after Thanksgiving, your kids can tell their cousins that they met the cousins' daddy's girlfriend?

Yeah, no.

Your brother can have Thanksgiving with the bad choice he made this year.

Once his divorce is final, once his kids have met her, then she can come to Thanksgiving. [/quote]

When my parents divorced, I was in my mid-20s and it was after my dad had an affair.  The OW knew my mom.  My aunt (dad's sister) and extended family welcomed this OW with open arms and frankly, I haven't forgiven them for that, many years later.  Thank you for sticking up for your SIL and their kids.[/quote]

+1. OP, I would look at this from the perspective of what's best for your brother's kids. It would be very bad for his kids if you and your kids (their cousins) meet OW before they do and without them even present.

My dad cheated and at one point moved in with OW and her kids. No saints here, my mom was a horrible wife and mother too. I found out that my aunt (Dad's sister) refused to allow him to bring OW to her home. It felt good to know that my aunt took a stand and didn't allow my siblings, mom, and me to just be replaced (that's how it felt to me).

If OW stays in the picture, then maybe the first time you meet her should be with your brother's kids there so they don't feel like OW is taking over their family. Just my opinion. [/quote]
