[quote=Anonymous][quote]At this point, if the relationship moves forward, I'm sure the kid will view it as something he has to do to appease/satisfy dad's GF. Good luck getting the kid near a pool after that. If the relationship does move forward, which it sounds like it may not, based on OP's responses, it would be a good idea for her to do some fun things one on one with this kid - not swimming, something he likes - so that they can develop a positive relationship. I remember my step-dad (who was a hockey coach) taking me ice skating, and it was a lot of fun and helped build a positive relationship between us. I even invited him to my wedding several years after he and my mom got divorced - they were a terrible match, but he wasn't a bad guy (for someone other than her) and really did try hard to be nice to me.[/quote]
