Reader Question: Introducing A New Partner to the Kids

I wrote this post with one hand

Q. Any tips on introducing children to your new partner? I have never done it and I’m in a serious relationship after six years separated/divorced. My kids have never met anyone I’ve dated. It’s kind of a big deal. Any thoughts on how to do this the right way? My kids are 7 and 10, and his are 12, 15 and 18.

I love this question, because it’s (obviously) one I’ve struggled with considerably over the years. And were Mistakes Made? Oh yes, my friend....
