Have you asked your boyfriend if his kids are ready to meet you?
I haven't asked, he brought up the issue before i had chance. He's broached the subject with his children recently and up to a couple of days ago they openly told him that they felt it was too soon. But they didn't say that didn't want to meet me at all. I think that's so mature of them to give such an honest answer. kinda takes the end of the nerves to know they are so composed.

In the days past his youngest has seemed more open to meeting me. We even have a date in the diary where dad is taking daughter to an event and im tagging along. He's only dropping her off there so we'll only be in the car together but i think that's a big step. I'm pretty nervous about it.

I also had bad experiences from my own parents. I have lots of 'what not to do' on my list from them. Such as take it slow, first meeting should be a casual bump into in the coffee shop or out shopping or something like that and generally just be cool and relaxed. I'm sure i wont be cool or relaxed :-/

How long has it been since the split from your daughters mum?
Thanks for this!
