I am meeting my boyfriend's children tomorrow for the first time. Not for long, probably only half an hour. Just at his house. I really what them to like me. Any tips welcome.
They are 9 and 11 (both girls) so not easy ages really. I do have two older girls of my own so not a complete novice. But I am just feeling the pressure because it's such a short amount of time to make a good impression...

Honestly don’t overthink it. Offer them a snack, drink and don’t fuss
They’ll maybe be anxious too. Be friendly and a light touch no big over friendly gestures . Don’t tell them to give new step momma a hug (only kidding!)
