Dating Advice

One thing that can be helpful is to have your date spend time alone with the child (or children) that dislike(s) him or her. They actually may get along much better that way in your absence. This seems to happen a lot when the key person isn’t in the mix.

Are there certain qualities about your partner that you can see may be difficult for your kids? For instance is there a certain tone of voice that they may be reacting to or is there a habit that may be offensive that your partner doesn’t realize he or she engages in? If that is the case and it seems to be a characteristic that would enable your partner to have personal growth by changing it , it is worth trying to discuss it with him or her if the person is open to it. Sometimes people don’t realize that they are too critical or that they interrupt someone when they speak. This has to be pointed out to someone artfully and of course they may or not be motivated to make changes about their personality.
