I haven't officially introduced my new partner to my child as a "boyfriend". They have met. We both have children so they often play together. My hope is that as we all get to know each other better/continuously, when an annoucement is made to my son that this is mommy's boyfiend it will go over smoothly because my son will already be familiar with this gentleman and he will already be accustomed to him being around me. I don't think there should be a rush to announce my relationship status to my child. Once I am 100% certain of this persons permanancy in my life then I can tell my child this is someone that is important to mommy.
Right now as far as my child is concerned its all about him and his playdates and this man is his playmate's parent.
