meeting his mom this weekend

I'm so nervous! We've been dating a little over a month and his mom lives out of town, so this weekend we're gonna take a little trip to see her. I don't know if I should bring my son. I want to and at the same time I don't. What would you do? I think I'm going to since I love having my little man around and 2 because I really don't want her to think I pass my kid off all the time. Any tips for meeting the parents??

Personally, a month into a new relationship, my kid wouldn't know the new guy and neither would the parents. Actually, I wouldn't bother to meet the parents until I was more stable in the relationship. That is just me.

For you, do what makes you feel comfortable. If that means leaving your child with your mom or a sitter until you get to know his parents better, so be it. Just be yourself.

My SO wouldn't have met Addie by a month. I definitely wouldn't be debating bringing her to see his mom. That's way too fast.

Just wondering why ya'll wouldn't want the person you're dating to meet your child early on? If I were in that situation I'd view it as a whole package deal, they'd probably meet them on the second date. If the kid makes them uncomfortable, they aren't ready for me.

Because I wouldn't want my kids to go through that stress.

But can't they just be a friend in the kids eyes? Do you keep your kids from acquaintances?

No but there usually a difference on how people act around SO. Granted some people can hang out with there SO and the kids have no clue but in most cases that's not true. I know I would have a hard time doing that. One of our best friends has been dating a girl for a year and he still hasn't meet the daughter because they are very casually dating and I give her so much respect for guarding her daughter's heart.

My lo is 2 and has no signs of being affected by him being around. He doesn't ask for him when he leaves or cry. He knows him as will. When I met his boys their older and I was daddys friend and they didn't seem to mind.
