Bringing my girlfriend around - how did you do it?
Been dating someone for 8 months and we're getting serious. My kids are 7 and 12. I'm trying to figure out when/how to introduce her without it being weird or my ex losing her mind. She's been fine with me dating (I think?) but haven't had anyone around the kids yet. What was your approach?
The 7yo will probably be fine, but that 12yo is gonna have OPINIONS no matter what. That age is just complicated. Don't expect instant bonding but also don't let that stop you from building your own life
