My kids met their dads new girlfriend.

So I dont know if im being just a bitch but my children met my exs new girlfriend today and although im fine with it, I was a little annoyed that not one of them got out of the car to acknowledge me. I've never met her and if this is someone in my children's lives I think it is a respectful thing to acknowledge the other parent. Am I just being touchy or does anyone agree. I dont like the thought of someone in my kids lives I dont know and given his record I dont see it an unreasonable thing im their mum

I wouldn't want her to jump out and chat to me without warning, I'd want a heads up so I could look incredible

She was probably very nervous and yes your ex should have introduced you. I never met my ex hubbys ex wife tbh. Just be thankful she’s good to your kids

What’s his record?

You don’t know what he’s told her about you, she might not want to meet you based on that. Or she just might not be interested. Hopefully she’s decent to the children, that’s the main thing.

Thank you, it wasn't a good relationship so the split was mutual no issues we've been amicable, and when i met his 2 from a previous he was insistent on me meeting their mum out of respect for her so i don't get it ,kids said she was nice and they had fun so that's all that matters i guess.

A general point but when couples split up they sometimes agree they’ll introduce a new partner to the other or at least before the kids meet the new person. But that’s not something you can enforce onto a new partner, they’re their own person and can make their own decisions.

If you’ve met previous girlfriends I can see why you’re unsettled not to meet the latest one but maybe she wasn’t keen.

No he will atleast get out and say the plan for when they'll be home as they live with me he doesn't have them overnight or often to be fair so this was a bit strange behaviour im just overthinking as when I met his kids mum 15 years ago he was insistent on that before I met the kids so she knew who was around her children and still to this day his older children come to my home and I have a great relationship with their mum just would like to know who is around my children as the last one wasn't very nice to them.
