Met someone new... (7mth) I've met his kids and they live me and yes I love them too but in not mum and they're trying to make me. I've been honest " I'm not mum, you have one"
I love the kids but I'm worried

How old are they? You've met them after 7 months?!

More to the point, she loves them after 7 months? Crikey. Not good.

ProtectTransRights · 25/06/2025 21:25

Slow down a little maybe. This seems very fast

Mikart · 25/06/2025 21:27

You really dont love them.

Givenupshopping · 25/06/2025 21:27

I agree with others, meeting them after such a short time was a huge mistake! I think you need to back right off, and stop seeing the kids until you know if the relationship is likely to be long term.

As a matter of interest, how old are they? Also, is he looking for a new Mum for his kids, or a partner for life?

ProtectTransRights · 25/06/2025 21:30

Sorry I misread I thought they lived with you

BodenCardiganNot · 25/06/2025 21:34

You don't love them. Don't be deluded.

Princesssuperstar · 25/06/2025 22:21

It's his kids... They've told mum they love me and I've made it clear I'm not!
The problem is they keep calling me mum and I am asking advice

On his own with kids 24/7 so yes I'll be around them. I made it clear from day 1 I will not replace mum. Only thing I've done is with his daughter we talk about girl stuff n that's when she said it

I knew them for 3yr before the relationship

Like I said, I think you need to back right off from his children until you're sure that the relationship is long term, as this is absolutely NOT fair on his kids. You say that she see's you with yours, and wants the same, why are you all getting together as families at such an early stage in a relationship. If you don't want to be a Mum to her, then stay away, as you'll end up doing this child untold damage by rejecting her, when her real Mum is also not up to the job of being a parent.

RaininSummer · 25/06/2025 22:35

If he has then 24/7 then he no doubt is seeking a replacement mum figure. Be sure what you want before you become a big part of those children's lives.

So if rather get with a man that has no intentions
.. I know this man is a good father and loves his kids! If have a man like that than a no-one

That's my worry... Been there, done that and not really wanting to do it again.

I would back right off, you'll end up trapped with him because you don't want to upset the kids. Poor kids.

RedNine · 25/06/2025 23:04

Hmmmm ok. It's really not good, the boyfriend should be reinforcing that you are not mummy, and that you could be a good friend to the children.

RedNine · 25/06/2025 23:05

Are his children adults like yours are, just checking.

Thank you. 1st plat without being bashed. He has them 24/7 and I knew that but things developed. No kids being hurt etc yet still get hate unfortunately. I take other kids but other way and I'm the wicked one
