If your new guy makes it past the six month rule, that’s still not time for him to move in. You need to introduce him to your children over several weeks and months for a short period of time at each meeting.
Don’t send the kids out with him to “get to know each other.” That’s a disaster in the making for everyone. If the children are not friendly toward him, don’t push it. They need to come to terms with this in their own time.
Make sure that you know this guy really well before you bring him into your children’s lives. Is he the man you think he is? Is he stable, dependable, honest and sincere? If he drinks, smokes, throws thing or swears, he’ll do the same around your children.
Would you be okay with your children repeating his behaviors? You can’t make excuses for his actions and discipline your children when they act the same way. It’s okay to want to find Mr. Right so that you can enjoy love and companionship that you’re missing now. Just realize that when you’re a single mom with children, you need more than Mr. Right, you need Mr. Right for Your Family.
