[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh. I don’t entirely agree with previous advice. Kids should not get veto power over their parents dating lives. Also they should be polite to all people. I’d address their manners calmly. Give the “you don’t have to like him but you have to be civil and polite to him as you should to any other adult.” If his instinct is to be around them less for now I’d let him follow his gut on that. But your kids aren’t entitled to be rude to him. They need to have good manners [/quote]

But he's not "any other adult". In fact, it would be bizarre and inappropriate if any other adult was coming over 3 nights a week, and they would likely give that person the cold shoulder too. He's the person who is having sex with their mother and the person she is hoping will become their stepfather. It's a totally different situation than "any other adult". So stop trying to play the manners card. These kids' boundaries are being trampled and they are trying to stand up for themselves and their own interests.[/quote]
