<\/p>\n
Introducing children to a new partner<\/em> is often one of the most contentious aspects of separation, whenever it happens. As a divorce coach and mediator I have found parents are often poles apart on this issue – often because one party is already in a new relationship and wants to move on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n And it\u2019s often, though not always, that men want children to be introduced to their new partner long before a woman does.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n So, with all these differences of opinion at play, what <\/span>is <\/span><\/i>the right time for introducing children to a new partner?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The short answer<\/span> is <\/span>there is no blueprint for \u2018the right time\u2019. Only the time that\u2019s right <\/span>for your children. <\/span><\/i>Introducing children to a new partner should always be given lots of time and thought. This is not about you, however happy you are in your new relationship, it\u2019s about supporting your children as life changes around them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In this blog we explore everything you need to consider to make the right decision for your particular situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Remember, it is likely that your children will take longer to adjust to the changes in their family than you. The timescales for this will vary depending on your children\u2019s personalities, ages and their emotional needs. Trying to pin down an average of when a child is ready to hear about their parent\u2019s new relationship is like asking how long that piece of string is.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It\u2019s about noticing what\u2019s going on in your particular family and responding to that wisely, with your children\u2019s needs as a priority.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Be prepared that once your children know you are in a new relationship, they may not be happy about it. Feelings of anger and sadness for the loss of your marriage may resurface. You can\u2019t predict how your children will react – they may be genuinely happy for you, and get on brilliantly with your new beau. But preparing yourself for difficult emotions will help you respond calmly if things get tense or upset. Remember it\u2019s their fear at losing you that will drive most of these emotions. Reassurance that you will always love them and be there for them rather than anger they are taking it badly is essential.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Discuss the introduction of your new partner to the children with their other parent first if at all possible.\u00a0 It will make it so much easier for your children if they know this is something their other parent knows about and is respectful of. It\u2019s certainly respectful to your ex to tell them yourself rather than let them find out from your children!\u00a0 Respect and communication are critical issues in co-parenting. You may disagree about appropriate timescales for the introduction of new partners, which can be tricky. Talking it through with <\/span>a family mediator<\/span><\/a> can help, as well as including principles in your Parenting Plan more on this later in the blog).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Take the integration of step-families slowly and at a pace that seems right for both sets of children. Think about introducing the children on neutral ground, rather than at one family home or another. Again, mediation can help if the details around blending your families are challenging. Encourage children to enjoy their extended family network as it develops. Once they get to know one another they may have fun with the new people on their family scene. Children often feel guilt at enjoying having a step-family, because they feel it\u2019s taking sides, or diminishing their love for their other parent. It can help if both parents assure any children involved that their love for them won\u2019t change, whatever other changes take place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you\u2019re in the heady stages of a new romance you may be desperate to introduce your children to your new love \u2013 it may even feel like lying if you don\u2019t. But, wait. This is about what\u2019s in their best interests and what they can cope with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A plan will mean it\u2019s more likely the meeting goes well. Think about when and where. Is there a social event you\u2019ll be at with your children where they will have other family and friends around so the don\u2019t feel so overwhelmed and can escape if need be?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It could be that your children would prefer a quieter meet with you, your partner and possibly their children. Neutral territory is best.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Don\u2019t expect your children to be friendly or gracious at first. It\u2019s more likely they\u2019ll be wary and play it cool. Know that\u2019s normal, it\u2019s not that your children are rude. If your children don\u2019t want to meet your new partner just yet, don\u2019t push it. Respect their feelings and this will serve your new relationship well in the long run.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If your children are old enough, discuss your new relationship with them, and listen to what they say. They don\u2019t need to know about it straight away, but neither are children stupid. If the children are old enough to realise that mummy\u2019s \u2018friend\u2019 is in fact your boyfriend or girlfriend, say so.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Keep your boundaries strong. If the children are curious to meet your partner before you\u2019ve even decided if the relationship has legs, gently and firmly let your children know that that won\u2019t be happening until you are sure you will be seeing a lot of this person.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If they have questions, answer them as honestly and straightforwardly as possible, again keeping your boundaries strong. It might be appropriate for them to ask and know what your new partner does for a living. It might not be appropriate for them to know whether you plan to marry them!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n When the children meet your new partner, be honest and open with yourself about how it went. What red flags were there, if any? First meeting nerves can make initial get-togethers awkward and tense. Was it just that or something more? How do you feel?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ask your children how they feel. Encourage them to be honest. Don\u2019t be afraid to pull back if the meeting doesn\u2019t go well or is overwhelming for your children. Sometimes, these things can just take time.\u00a0If your new relationship is serious your partner will be around for the long haul, and you can take your time to get things right.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t matter how clear you are on the need to wait and be sure about your new partner before you introduce the children, you my have little or no influence over what your child\u2019s other parent does.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the ideal world, you\u2019ll agree the process as part of your <\/span>Parenting Plan<\/span><\/a>. It could be time related – for example not before you\u2019ve been dating for three months. It could be only when you think it\u2019s likely the new partner is a long-term prospect. Whatever you decide, it\u2019s a good idea to put these principles in the plan and refer back to them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It\u2019s also a good idea for you and your ex to agree to tell each other about new partners before breaking the news to children. This means if your ex has a new partner you can help your children understand what\u2019s happening, and vice versa. This gives your children a sense of stability, and the knowledge that even though you and your ex are no longer together you are still on the same team as far as parenting is concerned.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the real world, this doesn\u2019t often happen. The first you know about your ex\u2019s new partner is when your children return to you with news of a person you\u2019ve never heard of. Firstly, stay calm. However annoyed you feel your children don\u2019t need to see it. Fundamentally, this is about your children not you. Take your emotions to your therapist or friends if you are struggling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You may think its too soon because \u2018they only just met\u2019 (and you may be right) but what\u2019s done is done.\u00a0If there are no safeguarding issues, the morality of the situation isn\u2019t something you can do anything about now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If the children return confused or distressed, try to remain calm. Don\u2019t contact your ex whilst you are angry because you\u2019ll react rather than respond. Send communication via <\/span>Our Family Wizard<\/span><\/a> if you have it – it will encourage you to moderate what you say!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Let them know that the children have returned feeling upset. List their emotions such as confused, angry or hurt. Resist the urge to criticise as this will only inflame the situation. Stick to the facts. You might say something like:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThe children have returned from you having met with X. Neither they nor I had been expecting this and children weren\u2019t prepared. Equally, I was not prepared and cannot answer the questions they have. Please confirm that next time you see the children you will be on your own and prepared to answer any questions the children may have\u201d. Then, leave it there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Being a parent isn\u2019t easy. Being a single parent and trying to make the right decisions for the children and yourself certainly isn\u2019t easy. Tiredness, loneliness, overwhelm and anxiety can cloud your judgement at best and damage your self-esteem at worst.
