Dating is a precarious enterprise.  You might meet a man, date him for three blissed-filled months, and then the bloom falls off the rose… and the man is out of your life.  It’s difficult enough for an adult to handle the ups and downs of relationships, but for kids, meeting the boyfriend too soon can create huge problems.  Suddenly, their new best friend (and potential father figure) Bill is never seen again.  Or maybe John seemed wonderful until he was a jerk to your teenage son… and what child needs a jerk in his life?  So how do you know when it’s the right time for your boyfriend and your children to meet?  Mindy Roberts of The Mommy Blog asks our panelists and guest Maria Young of Immoral Matriarch, “When do you let your kids meet your new man?

How do you introduce your kids to your new significant other?  When is the right time?  And do you have any horror stories?  Join the Momversation by commenting on the episode.

Then I remembered I haven’t worn makeup in about three days.

I said, “Does it help that they are laugh lines? Those are the good kind, right? RIGHT?”
