[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not say you disapprove. I would couch it in terms of his kids - it’s a big responsibility to date someone with kids. Not necessarily  taking care of them, but in dropping in and out of their lives. Tell her she should wait until she knows that she will be a permanent part of their lives and up for responsibilities and emotional connection of basically being a stepmom to these kids. It’s not fair to them to pop in and out. That would make me think twice. It’s not as carefree as moving in with a single guy (not that she should do that after one month either!). [/quote]
I would pitch it from this angle too. It's not fair to the kids to be their mom for a couple years then "Oops, it didn't work out!". If she wants to be their mom, she should marry the dad. She would probably balk at marrying now, so why is she moving in now? She should also consider how working all day with other people's kids, then coming home to somebody else's kids in her living space will impact her mental health and energy levels. [/quote]
