wow04 Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 It depends on the relationship. I didn't introduce my ex husband to my daughter until after a year. With my current boyfriend of 9 months, they were introduced as friends. We would meet at the park or hiking trails. He has 3 kids and I have 4. It wasn't until about 2 months ago they were told we are in a relationship. The only reason why my current boyfriend was introduced this early is because we have known each other for years.
ASG Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 It really depends... My cousin moved in with his GF, who had a kid, about a month after they started dating (and he'd met the kid before, socially). They're still together and have a daughter together now. One of my best friends is dating a divorced guy that has 2 kids. They've been dating for almost 6 months now and she still hasn't met the kids and thinks that is absolutely fine and that it isn't time yet. So... it really depends on how you feel about it.
CarrieT Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 My BF was very insistent that he and I date for at least six months before I met his kids, although we had a cursory meeting over a Christmas party about three months into our relationship, it was within the context of a large group. Two months later, I had my first one-on-three with them and we have been segueing into once-a-week hang-outs. His idea is that I will move in by the end of the year, after his kids have known me at least seven or eight months.
