What are your 8 and 10 year old children like?

[Nescafe]

Hi 👋🏼

I am a mother to a lovely little four year old boy

My DP of one year has decided that it's time for me to meet his two children

I am so nervous

They're aware of my existence, I've sent presents from afar and they've passed their thanks to me through him/willingly posed for photographs with said stuff

Their DM is in a live in/long term 5+ years relationship, I am their father's first relationship since their split

I am so nervous

I know, let them "come to me", keep everything on their terms, don't be all over DP and don't appear too familiar in their home - I've been visiting DP's home for over a year when they've been with their mother..

But I'm so nervous. Nervous nervous nervous. Fuck

Also DP has them 50/50 so this has to go well

They sound really sweet

Someone tell me how to compose myself before I become a nervous wreck

I'd suggest meeting them outside if the home so its neutral territory...a day out with their dad which you are invited too as well. That way it's less fraught, you are doing some kind of activity and it's less about you coming into their space /family

Thank you

From reading some posts here I've suggested this to DH. He thinks they'll be fine in the house 🤷🏽‍♀️

I'm easy either way..short, light and fun is how I want to handle it

I hope they don't eat me alive

Have you got time to familiarise yourself with the ins and outs of Roblox?

Hey didn’t want to read and run! I’ll be in your shoes one day I’m sure and interested to read replies.

I don’t have any experience with this but good luck! The idea to meet outside the home is good, he might say they’ll be fine in the home but men don’t always think into things enough. Defo second idea to go on really fun day out, so they’ll associate you with fun and make a positive memory. I’m all for meeting children at Alton towers 😂👍🏻
