When to introduce children to partner

[Mb2013]

Hi , I've been seeing a great guy for the past 5 months and alls going well but I'm wondering when the point comes when you introduce the children ?
He's mentioned meeting his , when seems to be the correct timeframe ?

I have no idea but will watch this thread with interest

I've always taken the view that I'm allowed to have friends same as DS is allowed to have friends. So he gets introduced to all my friends whether they are male or female same as I meet all his. If one of those friends was to become particularly important, more permanent or started staying the night etc I think it would then be a more natural progression for him rather than shock news.

I agree with cogito. It was a lot easier that way.

What Cognito said! Mine met dp at my birthday party as one of mums friends. They weren't daft though, dsd asked outright if he was my boyfriend and squealed with delight when I said yes and dd was already won over as he had an iPad he let her play with!

I had left xh 18 months earlier and they had both been encouraging me to go on Take Me Out to find myself a boyfriend.

I think if there's an ow/Om involved or the break up is recent its a different matter, but there are no rights or wrongs.
