    I am soooo nervous!!

    I have met him on a couple of occasions but not formally!!

    First was when i went ot MIL2Bs to pick up some stuff and he happened to be there! He was soooo excitible and running aroud like mad!

    The second time was last week when H2B and I were going out for lunch and walked into JCs when he was leaving with his nana, He ran up and just shouted DADDIE! and nearly knocked my H2B off his feet!

    But this is for real, H2Bs son will be in my flat on sunday with his mum!!

    He is 6, nearly 7.
    I have a friend who has 2 boys that are 6 and 7 so i know how to handle a boy that age but i am nervous and excited at the same time!!

    Wow, good luck hunnie!
    Just remember he may be a little jealous/worried about meeting you so don't force anything, trick is to let him come to you and give him space with his dad, sorry I know it sounds obvious but I met my step-son to be when he was 6, he's now 18 and he thanked me the other day for not trying to force a relationship and for giving him time with his dad without me always hovering! hope it helps xx

    yeh I aint going to try force anything!
    I have suggested to my H2B that he meets his son at my flat so he can see him more often and that if his mum was still not wanting me to meet him then would go out if i wasnt working but she has said that i need to meet him at some point!

    she is going to be here for the first couple of times and once they both get to know me she will start leaving him here to spend time with his dad himself.
    I will only be here every 2nd weekend as i work all day sat and sun every other week.
    Hes been asking his dad to buy him an box of the x and we have one here so im sure he will be happy!!
    We have two cats as well and he will get to see our rats so he will be entertained for the first day atleast!!

    Just be yourself - be his mate and don't be too lovely dovey with his dad infront of him.
    Don't give him anything to go home and tell tales about - ie don't critisise anything to do with his mum or his life with her, even if you think he's not in ear shot.
    Give him plenty of time with his dad, but you both need to make sure that your stepson knows that meals are all together time, and that his dad is needed to do ordinary things with you too sometimes - but do this by making 'normal' ie, don't make a fuss about it. He's young enough to accept it as normal without any definition.
    You'll be fine. It won't be until he's a teenager that you're most likely to run into problems - but as often as he's against you, he will be looking to run to you when he's angry with mum, lol.

    LOL!

    Thanks!

    his mum will be here for the first few weeks till he gets used to me and so she can get to know me too.

    my H2B and his sons mum were never really in a serious relationship and my H2B actually didnt know he had a son until he was about 2.

    Im just glad that i am meeting him before H2B and i have our own children so he can get used to the idea of me first without needed to think that he will have a new brother or sister as well.

    H2B said that his sons mums sister was apparently arguing with her about him meeting me!
    H2B said that his sons mum backed her decision about it telling her that he has met her boyfriend and the fact we are getting married he will need to meet me at some point and we have been with each other 2 years!

    its really good that his mum wants to get to know to know you too!!
    I had a friend whos ex wouldn't let her son anywhere near his new fiance!! real shame!!

    I'm sure you will be fine, just let him come to you rather than trying to get him to talk to you - take it slowly and I'm sure it won't take long before he loves you!!!

    Thanks!

    his mum has said that she wants him to come up and she wants to leave him with his dad more often and maybe stay over night.

    But we obviously need to meet before that!

    oh aye defo, i just hope that when use do start getting him on a regular basis that she wont cancel access at the last minute as she has been doing as the more access your h2b has to him the more his son will get attached and i wont be fair on his son or your h2b if she does that.
