Thank you Mary for your input this morning. New partners and when they become a step parent is a real issue not only for the child but for the other parent also. Parents need to be very careful introducing new people to their children. Ideally you should be in a very solid relationship for a year or more before your partner plays any parenting role with your children. Having sleep overs with new partners should also be avoided especially when your children only stay with you part time. Children will enjoy sharing a parent at times but when you are sharing parenting and if you are the parent with less contact, it would be best to try and only involve your partner for part of the contact time with your children. Children do benefit from seeing parents in good healthy relationships but it is questionable what they gain from seeing parents hop in and out of numerous serious relationships. Also it is taking away valuable time you could be spending with your child, who will only be a child for a very short length of time. Unless you put the effort in during the early years you will hear them say very soon they are not interested in contact with you!
