When are relationship milestones if you have kids from a previous relationship?

[Angeldelight1555]

I'm divorced with two children however I've been with my new partner 10 months now. Everything's great and we see eachother a couple of times a week when the children are with their dad. The kids haven't met him yet and we've spoken about it and agreed we want to take our time with such a big decision and will probably wait till some point in the new year. But I'm wondering what is the time brackets for milestones for a relationship when you have kids previously? I want to buy a house together, get married and have another child all in the next 6 years before I hit 35. Am I being too ambitious with that time frame whilst taking things slowly for the sake of the kids. I do think they will love him when they finally meet and he seems great with his nieces and nephews but I won't rush into anything that the kids wouldn't be comfortable with. I should also add my new partner doesn't have children of his own

I think it's great that you're taking things slowly. Six years is still plenty of time to do all the things you want to do, assuming all goes well.

@PerfectMatch Thank you! 😊

It might be worth your partner meeting your kids and seeing how you all get along together before investing too much in long term plans.

Who can say? I met my late husband nine months after he separated from his wife, and he had two kids who had just started secondary. We bought a house ten months later, got married three months after that, had a baby nine months after that, his eldest child moved in a year later. So a lot happened in a relatively short time (then we had another, older boy moves out, younger moves in...).
What worked for me may not for you.
