First Dates In Neutral Territory
February 2nd, 2008 | by admin |When starting a new relationship, you may want to make the first few dates with the children in neutral territory rather than at home. This means your children can’t avoid things by hiding in their rooms or going outside to play and you can actually judge the reaction of your kids to your date and the reaction your date has to your kids. Another thing you should keep in mind is that while a good first impression may be important to you, it isn’t necessarily a priority for your children. Be careful that you don’t put too much pressure on them to be perfect kids on your ‘getting to know each other’ date. Allow them to be who they are and allow your date to see them for who they are (the good and the bad because eventually all warts will be revealed it may as well be sooner rather than later). The most important thing is that you and your children have fun and feel comfortable with the situation.
