This is going to get me a lot of strange looks and comments, but I think you should avoid bringing your man around your kids until you have received a solid commitment from him which I don’t believe is possible in less than a year. You can introduce them when you are certain that the relationship is headed towards marriage and don’t bring him around regularly until you have received a pledge of commitment in the way of a ring/proposal, whatever.

I’ve also touched on the subject of checking him out thoroughly before bringing him around your kids, using any method that you can; from talking with his family, coworkers and exes to even doing a background check on him. I’m not saying this needs to be done before they ever meet, but you shouldn’t be bringing just anyone around your kids in the first place and don’t even consider leaving him alone with them until you’ve had him checked inside-out!

Bringing a man home to meet the family is a huge deal and even more so when it’s your child(ren). There are feelings and certain reservations that they will have when it comes to the mere idea of their mom dating someone, but it really hits home when they see it first hand and are able to put a face to the boyfriend, who in their eyes, may seem as though is trying to take their mommy away. You need to be sensitive from day one when it comes to your child(ren)’s feelings and deal with things with as much caution as possible. It’s your responsibility to protect them from everything whether unnecessary discomfort associated with your love life to the dangers of jumping too soon and trusting the wrong men around them.

If you’ve met a man that makes your heart jump and makes you feel alive and better than you dreamed possible after your last heartache; it can be easy to give into the temptation to introduce him to your loved ones right away. And when it comes to finally having sex with a real live flesh and blood man instead of your Rabbit vibrator; your hormones may make it even harder to resist bringing him home, but get a good babysitter and check into a nice hotel, but don’t bring him home until things are truly solid. Trust me on this one.
