I know the kids are watching how he treats them, and filing that information away for later. Especially D13. I just hate what they have to file away.
Leaving for a week's vacation with my New Guy in a few days... I'm a little nervous and excited, looking forward to relaxing in full without the kids, seeing a part of the country I've never seen before, and meeting some of his loved ones. (!!!)
He really wants to be more closely integrated into my daily life, including the kids. I'm not sure how to manage that. Does anyone have any suggestions? He is GREAT with all three of the kids, and totally willing to step up for them. I'm trying to maintain some firmer boundaries, because it's a newer relationship, and I'm still sorting out that part of it, and I want to protect my kids. I've checked in with them about how much time they're willing to spend with him and they've said, a day and a half of each of the weekends they spend with me. Which seems like a LOT. Thoughts?
