When is the appropriate time to introduce your new love interest to your kids? Good question you may ask. I personally have not been in this situation since my children are all grown adults with families of their own but now that I am “single” it is still something that I will take into consideration.
So many times I hear about females introducing “uncles” to their kids one month only to parade a new “uncle” two or three months later. Don’t get me wrong I do believe that you should be open and honest with the fact that you have kids at home because not all men want to date a woman with kids so you need to tell him upfront. The problem that I have is with introducing these men to your kids. You can tell him that you have kids without making the introduction until you are absolutely sure that things are really serious.
It is my opinion introducing too many men to your kids gives the kids the wrong message. You may not realize it but kids watch everything you do and we have to be an example for our kids, especially our daughters.
Parading a slew of men around your kids can give them the impression that you are easy, especially if these men are spending the night. For your daughters it sends the message that it is okay to sleep with a different man every few months and for your sons it sends the same message and may make you look like a whore. There, I said it. You never want your son or your daughter to look at you in a negative light and in my opinion this totally gives the wrong impression.
As for me, if I meet someone that I want to spend time with even though I am grown and so are my kids I still want to be sure that this person is someone that I care for deeply and that I plan to have them stick around. I also have grandkids to consider and I certainly don’t want to give them the wrong impression either.
As I have said before the Mother is the first teacher of the child and she has to set the example of what is acceptable behavior and what is not. I cannot stress enough that we always hold true to that and set an example that your kids will be proud of.
