Cold feet re meeting new partners DS’s

Lastchancesaloon07 · 23/05/2021 19:23

I’ve been with my partner 18 months, we’ve been very slow and steady but now in a great, healthy and happy relationship. He has recently met my 2 x DD (late teens) and it went really well. We’re now at the stage where he wants to introduce me to his 2 x DS (under 10)...I’m petrified! I’ve completely forgotten how to interact with little ones and so scared that the impression I make on them with affect our lovely relationship! What if they don’t like me?
Any tips on how to navigate this would be hugely appreciated, I adore this man and we have a solid future, we’re both invested in our relationship but I’m really feeling the pressure ☹️
Thankyou in advance MN ❤️

Could you both take them out somewhere, so there will be distractions and the focus wont be on you? Most kids that age are into something in particular (with my DS it was gaming or action films), so ask him! At that age they might be a bit shy around someone new so don't take it personally if they appear uninterested. Take things at their pace/level. It's natural to be worried, especially as you have DD's, it'll seem like a completely different species!
Hope it goes well.
