Friends. I have only just realised now that by moving (from another city) in with my boyfriend that there will suddenly be children in my life. His grandchildren range from 1-24.
I actually look forward to having youngsters in my life but I am unsure of what is expected of me. I certainly don't want to dive in with both feet but I don't want to remain aloof either. Would holding a pumpkin carving night for the younger ones be too much too soon?

Absolutely not. Sounds like the perfect ice breaker. To me it would send the message that you are open and welcoming to his family. Good luck with that.

24 months or 24 year olds? How old is he????

Yes it’s ok to hang out with little ones.

Oh wow, that's really lovely, sounds like a great idea to do some fun stuff/have a little party. You can take it from there once you get to know them and all their characters, what they like doing.

I think it's a good idea.. you've gotta start somewhere, after all

haha! 24 years. His daughter had a child at age 15.

For those with enquiring minds, I am near 51 and he is 64. Yes, he is robbing the cradle on this one.

Thank you for easing my mind about this. I have already met them but being grandpa's girlfriend is different than being grandpa's partner.
