Are kids 6 and 10 too young to understand adults living together?
If someone wanted to move in with you, but made the statement that he/she needed to "downplay" it to their children because of their age (for awhile)...would you think it was for that reason or because he/she wanted to downplay it with the ex? |

No kids are more excepting than adults. So it was probably for the ex's benifit.

either way could still have to do with the children.
|

|
|
they do they do
|

oh no, at that age the situation should be explained.

Who cares?

No they aren't. My children understand what it means since they were small.

kids catch on real fast - it happened to me. I guess at first they are real confused, but as time goes by they figure it out for themselves..
|

I think that kids are resilent and learn to deal with these things as long as things are good in the home.. I think it should be after a time of dating a long time to do that with the kids..
Sounds fishy to me but not sure it's the ex thing... |

Honesty in this situation would require you to ask him in this situation I would think.

They're not too young to understand adults living together if that person is staying permanently. If it's just a temp relationship, that's just screwing with their heads. I can't remember how many times that I played 'babysitter' for my female friends so they could screw around with a new boyfriend. I don't mind though.
imo, kids are #1 and people the parent is seeing take a far back seat |

Children will make as big a dealm of it as you will. They'll pickup vibes you didn't think you were sending!
You didn't ask this but, if one of the adults wants to 'downplay' the realtionship (for a while), maybe it's not time to move in (?) yet |

kids understand it.....
but ...if "you" do it...be prepared for the same when they .......turn 18.... personally, ...i wouldn't do it |
