meeting new bf's kids for the first time

[babyhopes22]

I need someones advice! Me and my new fella have been takin it slow as I have a 7month old baby n his mum was dying n have been seein each other properly for a few months (seeing each other not so frequently before that). Anyway, next weekend he has asked me to meet him, to meet his kids for the first time!!
As a result I am terrified, he has a boy who is 8 and a girl who is 11, I have never really been around kids that age before, all my friends kids r younger like toddler age.
Has ne one got ne advice on how to do this! We r going to the park they always go to, but I mean wot do I say to them, what do I do with them, I'm awful at conversation starters with adults let alone kids lol but I so desperately want them to like me as I want me n their dad to work.
Any advice eeeeek I'm in red alert meltdown panic right now lol

Just take it as it comes. I know that is probably easier said than done but you'll be ok. I get from that that he is serious about you if he wants you to meet his children.

im in the same boat only my BFS kids are 2 and 3 but their mom brainwashes them

I'm with Laura, its deffo a sign he wants things to be serious if he wants you to meet his children.

Don't panic, about it. Best advice...let them come to you, let them start talking first & let them set the tone & such. Last thing you want is be come across as too eager & have them think you are fake.

Good luck

thank you... still panic ridden but a little less than before lol. yh looks as though he wants it to be serious, which is what i want, we have taken things so slowly because my daughter is so young, and his mum, feels so nice to be moving things forward....just a little scary lol thank you for the advice.

I have met 3 of my partners 4 children. We went bowling and then for a meal. It just kinda flowed naturally. I tried not to think about it and just enjoyed the day.
