My lady friend (single Mom with 6 & 7 year old boys) asked me when we were going Xmas shopping for the boys. I said we are going to the store together but you are shopping, I am just paying.......LOL
I told her I would sit in the front of the store and when she reached checkout....just call me over to do my thing.
When I was in a similar situation years ago, I actually did the shopping with her... showed interest in her children. It was a fun relationship building experience. Got to know a little bit more about her children as it was still early in our relationship. She insisted that she pay for the gifts herself but I ended up picking out a few modest things on my own to gift the children as well. We were together for a long time and still to this day remain close.
One would think shopping for a 6 or 7 year old boy would be the best for a man. At least remind you of your childhood and what you would want. I would assume you have not developed any emotional connection with the boys and just worried about your in with momma?
The boys and I know each other well (they have spent nights at my house), but as I never raised children and do not follow what toys are hot, best she buys for them as she knows what they want. Those presents will be from Santa or her. I have bought them a radio controlled helicopter which will be from me.
Fortunately their Dad, though a financial deadbeat, has a role in their life as does a close Uncle so they do not lack for male figures.
IIRC, you don't really want to deal with her children, you just want her company/sex once a week or so. If you feel that buying her children things is part of the price you have to pay to get what you want, then just give her some cash for it and tell her that you'd rather stay home. The more you participate with her kids, the more you will send the message to her that you want to be involved with them and their lives.

Thank you for the life's lesson. I must have missed that one along the way.......LOL
What a nightmare. I hate shopping. We do most of our Christmas shopping online, for the most part. Sometimes need to pop into a store for something last minute, but not too often. I remember the old days of fighting for parking and circling around trying to find a spot. Then the crowds and jeez, I'm getting myself annoyed just thinking about it.
