This is my first experience dating a woman with kids. She is 30 and I'm 24. We have only known each other for 2 months and she is wanting things to go fast. Her kids are 6 and 8. I really like this girl but things are goin so fast. She also asked me "When are you going to warm up to my kids?" Like I am not interacting with them enough. I guess Im not good with kids. Any advice on how to help fix this? Thanks.
Read this carefully for I will only say it once and I don't intend to follow up on this case...
You need to balance your lust for her as well as be a sustainable parental figure to those children of hers.
Now, being a sustainable parental figure will intially require you to 'warm up' but be aware that it entails alot more than that. It is a possible invitation to step-fatherhood.
If you are seeing this as a 'requirement' as supposed to an unconditional role I suggest you be
upfront to her as to the cards you intend to play.
Personally, I don't think the idea of telling her
upfront that your lust for her is your first priority will seem as sleazy as your pretension to play the role of a stepfather whose intention is really to nail her silly from every possible angle until she cease to sexually gratify you. On the same token, don't underestimate her position. I could be that she's well aware of her luggage and how by introducing those kids of hers into the picture could provide for
her future as well as
her offspring.
FYI, children around 6-8 years old are still going through critical developmental phase in their psychological, physical and neurological development. These children require stability and sustainable parental figure, one that will provide assurance and sense of security through to being a significant figure to their formation of self-identity.
Take this seriously for I have been left with a miserable childhood, my parents went through a series of failed divorced and step-parenting and look what they have done to me...
