minor children involved? appropriate time to blend households? (96)

yeah baby

and i find myself more hungry than a few years ago





the line starts behind me dearie
and i have sharp elbows when in a queue so watch it

rubbing it in is mean

and i am way off topic in my own thread

This is the way I look at it. If a woman has a kid or two, maybe even more, she comes as a package. The kids aren't going to go away. I wouldn't introduce them in the first few times out, but I don't think that they should wait a long time either.
Look at it from the other point of view. If you were dating someone, for a couple of months and then meet the kids, What if you can't deal with the kids, what if the kids don't like you. I've met a few women with kids, and some of them I just couldn't deal with their kids. I certainly wasn't going to wait years to go out with her, and I wasn't going to try to change the kids. It just wasn't meant to be.
If your dating someone, you're also dating their kids in a way. so my answer is to see if everyone is compatible early in the relationship.

and if you 2 find out its not a match
thats just too bad for the kids -theyll deal with it?

wow

a honeymoon period can be available for all concerned
it doesnt mean it will work out
and its irresponsible to expose kids to such loss

nobody said wait for years
