she's a single parent, she can do whatever the fuck she wants with her life! There are other people out there who's married and in a supposedly committed relationship for years and years yet fucks around with others and doesnt give a shit about their children! Atleast she's careful and responsible enough to protect her own, even if it means sacrificing her happiness! Youre doing great mama!

We are living in a fast paced society nowadays, people even get married after just two weeks of knowing each other. 6 months is quite reasonable enough to let them start getting their family get to know each other. The most important thing is if he’s a good man and he’s willingly wholeheartedly accepting, caring and treating her children as his own, i say go for it! And same goes to her with his kid. And as long as they’re both happy and the kids are happy, that’s all that matters the most!

I agree with Drake Henderson. As long as he’s a good guy and accepts, treats and cares for them well, and so is she with his kid? And they’re happy? Why not? No laws are being broken, no one’s being hurt, just two people who happens to love each other with kids and wanting to create and combined their lives together into a one big happy family. GO FOR IT!!!

6 months is too soon and she doesn't seem certain it's stable. Hold off girl

I think she should see how the relationship goes. Because she may change her mind a year from now. I don’t know. But if could effect the children if they become attached. Other than that, if it feels right then possibly yes.

I'm a single mom dating someone seriously and he never ever comes to my house at night. Maybe once we are engaged and the kids know him etc but even then it sets a horrible example for the kids.

I doubt an 11 and 12yo are looking for mommy in the middle of the night in most cases. But its harder to hide things from kids that age so they may have already caught on to something

[distorbia]

Hell no unless the relationship is super serious and stable don’t introduce your child. Kids deserve consistency and no one needs million uncles. Don’t sneak a stranger your house at night

[Beautifulrecarnations]

I don't have these prblms, i been with one man since 2004 while some dad a few baby daddies already from since!

What if a kid sees the movie, "Kill Bill Pt.1", Vivica? Don't you think they're gonna peg you, As being a Pyscho?!

[Soltero]

Everyone is going hard on her not cool

How soon? When? How to introduce? You marriage failed. You have one job to do ~ raise your children. Your children do not want to be involved in your romance of the week. Time to live for your kids.
