Hi all - to give you a little background...I have been dating my boyfriend for about a year and a half now. He has two children from previous marriages (one from each ex-wife). He can't have anymore children and that is fine with me b/c I don't want any of my own. I adore his two and they have taken very well to me. I definitely consider us a family and we'll eventually get married, but we're not in a rush. We have no real problems out of the first ex-wife. I've met her, we talk and she allows me to pick up/drop off her son from school and her house when its time for him to visit us. I have never met the second ex-wife and she is not ready to meet me. However, she has 3 other children from a previous relationship that my boyfriend was a step-father to while they were married. To be the bigger person and so the girls don't lose out (b/c the break-up certainly had nothing to do with them), my boyfriend stated he'd like to spend time with them occassionally and his son misses being around his step-sisters. So, next Tues. my boyfriend plans to pick her 2 youngest girls up and take them to dinner. This will be the first time I meet them (they are b/w 7-9 years in age) without meeting their mother first. Like I stated, she is not ready to meet me, but trusts my boyfriend's judgment in people b/c I'm around her son all the time (their mutal child). This won't be an all the time thing, but I'm afraid she will use her daughters to create issues b/w us. I want to be accepting of all this, but it is making me very nervous. Any advice and suggestions?
