Excuse me if this question has been asked before, but when is the
appropriate time to let children meet a person you are dating? My ex
and
I have some disagreements about this. I feel that I should be in a
relationship long enough to know that it has the potential to be lasting
before I subject my daughter (6 years old) to meeting the person I am
dating. I don't believe that my daughter should be exposed to every
person I go out with, or her mother, just for a matter of convenience.
My
ex wife has dated three different guys over the past five months, and
now
my ex is with someone new again. I asked her to please give her
relationships time before having the person around my daughter, but the
new guy is already wanting to go to my daughter's T-Ball games, etc. Am
I
crazy for thinking that it's unfair to my daughter to be exposed to
these
guys so quickly? Am I unreasonable thinking that my ex should wait six
months or whatever amount of time it takes to see if the relationship
will
turn serious?

I just noticed this... You put the subject as "When to let kids meet new
girlfriend" yet is this about your girlfriend? Is your ex a lesbian?
We've
had a few topics lately on here about bi and heck, I think there was even
a
mention or three about quad-gendered or something. Does your ex date
lesbian males who get what they want from her then leave?
I'm a bit of a Confusedasaurus Rex.

hahaha... is your son into dinosaurs?

Yes.................
We get points across. Dinosaurs are a way to explain things. He takes
better to being a "Ratasaurus" than a tattle-tale or a rat, for example
If he read this, he would NOT hesitate to inform me there's no such thing as
a Confusedasaurus, Rex or not. I've never learned anything so in depth
before. I'm even starting to get the hang of which dinosaurs were from
which period - at least I can pronounce those words - but I'm still having
some issues pronouncing a lot of the more uncommon names. But don't worry,
I'm learning quickly. He can pronounce all of them with ease, and even sees
it necessary to correct me or help me out with some obnoxious dinosaur name.
He had issues reading the message inside of a birthday card, but toss him a
paper with 15 random (looong) dinosaur names infront of him, and he'll read
them off in a snap.
I see "euoplocephalus" and I'm standing there, "You-pol-sef-a... no,
you-ploc-efa... hm... you-ploc-a-lofagus..." and he butts in, "No, actually,
it's "you-op-lo-sef-a-lus. Mommy, you should read it properly." and I
think, well, an E for effort would have been nice, at the very least...
I ofen hear, in a day, "ROOOOAAAAAARRRRR!!!! I'M A VELOCIRAPTOR!!!! THE
MEANEST OF THEM ALL!!!!!"

Oh, and at Christmas, I went off to the big book store to see if I could
hunt down some sort of big dinosaur encyclopedia. I told them it was for a
then-nearly 6 year old. She pulls out one "encyclopedia" and a few books.
I had to laugh because if I brought those home for him, he'd laugh at me and
give them to his baby sisters! Cartoon drawings and picture story books
just don't cut it.
