New man - what about bubs?
Submitted by Amy
 

 

"I was just wondering if any of the single mums here have had trouble when your new partner stays over night for the first time? Does your child freak out?

I'm worried that will happen when my new man stays over for the first time... any advice? She has met him before and always shows off and likes him heaps, but I'm just worried she will get funny if she sees someone else in my bed! Cheers!"

I agree with Rhi, kids don't really take note too much on these things.If your daughter likes him, she will more then likely enjoy having him around a bit more, but probably not too much so that she loses the attention.

For the first, second, third and consequent nights... I'd keep your daughter away from the bedroom. Get her used to the idea that your partner may be around in the mornings, sharing breakfast etc. If possible, get him to make her favourite breakfast so she can see 'positives' in having him around.

i tend to agree that if she likes him, i dont think it should be much of a problem.  The only advice i can give is that maybe if the two are you are up before her so that she gets used to him being there in the mornings, before you worry about her seeing someone else in your bed. 

But yeah, ive found that my kids tend to pick up on how i feel about certain situations, so maybe if you make it seem like a good thing, then she will see it that way too.
