When is a person supposed to introduce his/her new partner to kids?

Nikhabele @Nikhabele (166) • South Africa 8 Apr 12

When is it the right time to introduce the new partner to your children? Do you tell your children who this person is or you tell them he/she's a friend and wait until they figure it out themselves?

What should I do about their father?

drknlvly6781 @drknlvly6781 (6246) • United States 21 Apr 09

I'm really torn in this situation; at an impasse as it were. My children's father is trying to get back into their lives. That isn't a problem; I grew up without a father in my life due to his choices, so I want my children to...
