Dear Queenie,
My boyfriend and I have been going together for several years. He gets along just fine with my children, but I am not included in anything he does with his kids and when his kids want to visit when we have plans for something else, our plans get cancelled.
Queenie, will this ever change?—Left out
Dear Left out,
It could be that your boyfriend’s children do not like the fact that he is dating someone else than their mother and/or he could be waiting until they are older for them to get to know you.
However, after “several years” it is high time his children got acquainted with you and got used to the fact that you are part of their father’s life. Talk to him about this. You will know from what he says and how he reacts whether your relationship with him will last and on what terms.
