Period. Your children don\u2019t need to form attachments to men who won\u2019t stick around. If you have shared custody with your ex-spouse, there are plenty of opportunities to date when you\u2019re not with your kids. I highly recommend beginning any relationship that way. The last thing your kids need, on top of the emotional turmoil of a divorce, is the complication of their involvement and attachment (or friction) with the new man in your life. If you are very serious about this relationship, you\u2019re going to want to slowly integrate him into your children\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So what do you think?\u00a0 Is it ok to introduce a brand new man into your kids life only MONTHS after you&#8217;ve left their father?\u00a0 SPEAK\u00a0ON\u00a0IT&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Link:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.theybf.com\/2011\/11\/29\/too-soon-when-should-a-single-mom-introduce-her-kids-to-her-new-man\" title=\"TOO SOON!?
