This is why the 'you can't meet my kids until we've been together 6 months' rule that we see so often online is dumb. Sometimes the sweetie and the kids just don't get along. It matters.
Do you feel it's better to have a revolving door of men/women through the kid's life? I don't agree with that either.
Bottom line, the kids come first. That might mean the adults encounter difficult decisions a year or so into the relationship but I'd much rather my heart be broken than my kids!
Luckily, those are not the only two choices in real life!
No, you are correct.
Let me rephrase that. If I were single I would not introduce my kids to a man before I felt things were serious, which would not be after a few months. I'm sure others feel differently.

It all boils down to how many options the man or woman in question have and/or their willingness to be celibate long term.
So that should be the determining factor in whether they introduce their kids to someone they are dating?
Depends on if they have them full time or part time and how many baby sitting options they have, I mean what are you going to do leave the kids home alone while you get a hotel lol. Depending on the circumstances it can become impractical to not introduce the kids.

I agree with you which is why I didn't meet her kids or her mine until 6 months into the relationship. I honestly love her and I saw the relationship going somewhere up until I met her children.

Well I certainly wouldn't have a date over when they are home. I don't know...guess it would be an easy decision for me. I'd either get a babysitter or I wouldn't go out. Of course this is all hypothetical on my part but I've seen enough "quick" introductions to know I wouldn't do that to my kids.

Well you have a tough choice it seems.
How well do you know her kids? Could this just be them acting out because you are the "new person" and they are being a little defiant? Or are you at the stage where they have been around you enough and now they are comfortable and what you are seeing is their true behavior? How well do you know them and they you?
