Looking for some advice form people with experience? or maybe you were the child meeting dads new girlfriend.

I feel like im about to be thrown to the lions here
Having been a kid meeting 'moms new bf' I'll just say this: Don't show fear lol

No, seriously....just treat them as you would kids...respect is fine, but on the first meeting, mostly we're curious. Remember they are kids, so don't try to be their 'pal'. Be sure to treat your bf with respect (because we watch for that...after all, as kids of the dating parent, we're on the look out for people that might hurt that parent) and while I know it's easy to say...just try to relax.

Show interest in each kid as an individual...and mean it. It's really not that difficult and hopefully, your bf has prepared the kids for the first meeting anyway.

Hope this was helpful. Good luck!
