Love Couple |
1. You are not a parent to his kids yet. Depending on how long you have dated you really have no voice in how he raises his kids. You do have the right, though, to expect to be treated with respect from his kids.If you are new to the relationship you should wait to even meet his kids until you have dated for a while. No sense getting everyone all excited for what may be nothing.
2. If you know the kids mom you may as well face the fact that you are now the new women replacing the old one. You are going to hear mostly one side of what went wrong, his side. Your job is not to play mediator.If you are around the kids do not take sides or put down their mom. When you're around the single dad you can be as supportive as you want to, but do not be afraid to tell him to put a lid on it if you get tired of listening about what's her name.
3. If you have an opinion on something then feel free to express it to him, just don't express it in front of his kids. It is always a good idea to keep communication open in an honest and straight forward manner.
