Question - (29 September 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 29 September 2008)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I have been divorced for 3 years, I have a 5 year old daughter, and i have been dating this guy fr 4 months.

We were talking about meeting his parents. He has met my daughter and spent time with us. She adores him!

I know his parents are all about family and children. He has 3 that I have not yet met (but that's a meeting I think should happen between just us). He also seems to want me to meet his parents first.

We are of latin decent and at times from the stories he tells they seem awfully judgmental. I do not want them to think for a second that I am not a good mother or abandon my child for some time with their son.

Should my daughter be a part of this first meeting with his parents? I'm not sure and i have not mentioned it yet to my bf.

TELLULAH agony auntHi,

Personally I wouldnt put that much strain on myself. After all, you are bound to feel a little nervous at your first meeting with them, so it might be better if she came along the next time that you got together. If they are good parents they would understand how you want things to be relaxed when you introduce your little one to them. That would make you a good mother honey, you put your child first by making sure that you all get along before she has to meet them.

Good luck XX
