How many months/ years in your view is the right time?

[Exfiles4]

I know every situation is different but what’s your own rules/ boundaries or even just thoughts on when is the right length of time to firstly introduced young kids to a new partner and secondly have new partner move in?
I think at least a year before introducing and 2-3 years before moving in

A couple of weeks at most tbh, rent isn't going to pay itself and I don't want to pay it all myself.

With my ex we introduced kids too early, as in months, which in hindsight was far too soon. However, we split after 5 years together so it wouldn't have made a difference if we'd introduced them after 2 years or 2 months.

I’d say a minimum of a year

children who endure two breakups are massively traumatised IMO

I was thinking about this today.

My bf has 2 dc, they're 10 & 13. They don't know I exist but they found their parents break up difficult. In some ways I would love to meet them but in some ways I don't want them upset or anything either.

My DC are 20 & 16 and know I have a bf. Still not sure when I should introduce them

Sorry - bf and I have been together 9 months

Minimum 6 months to introduce. 2-3 years to move in.

I know someone who introduced her kids to her new partner the day after they met, a week later he moved in and now she's wondering why her kids are majorly kicking off.

It's cruel to move someone in so fast young kids don't get it.
