I'm sure this has come up numerous times... Sorry if it has. I have been with my NP for a few months now and have yet to introduce him to the children. I have been given the all clear from my solicitor to do so now that my Ex has introduced his partner. I am not going to rush this as the children need time to come to terms with this introduction.
My eldest has struggled with the idea of meeting her as she views her as the reason for our marriage break down. That, coupled with the fact that she's nearer to my daughter in age than my husband, hasn't helped! I have tried to smooth this process but pretending to be OK about it and encourage a good relationship. I don't want my kids to be messed up because I'm passing my feelings on to them. I have to rise above.
That said, my kids know and have known about my partner for some time but not met him. Now I have the OK to introduce him I am keen but not in a hurry. He also has three kids so there will be a lot of things to consider here!
I need to not make it a huge deal. We won't introduce the kids now until end of May when we are going on a huge group holiday to Cornwall and will see each other on the beach. We are staying in a different resort. There will be numerous other families there so it should be very natural for the children and unforced. What are your thoughts re. introducing NP? Don't want it to be too much for the kiddies.
