He's meeting my kids a week on Saturday.

Two boys aged 11 and 13.

13 year old is mature and likes to be all intellectual.

11 year old is immature for his age and shows off terribly if he has an audience.

Together - they're a nightmare as youngest shows off, eldest gets all bossy and smart arse on him and youngest shows off even more to maintain 100% of the attention.

I predict - because it's a "new" person to them, they'll act like a comedy double act and it will do my head in.

Should I allow him to meet them individually, one on one? That way, when he meets them together he will no longer be a novelty.

Or should I just throw him in at the deep end and have them meet him together?

How long have you been with him?

Throw him in at the deep end but only for a little while. I think my first meeting with DSSs lasted about an hour and a half.
