    Hey guys, need some advice, I've been going out with my current gf for about 4 months now and we get along great. My parents,mother specifically, wants to meet her but am kind of worried of what her reaction will be when she finds out my gf has 2 kids. My brother once dated a girl with one kid and she wasn't all to happy about it. She has this view that they've been used up and her kids deserve better

    In that case, there's no way around this. Just tell your parents upfront and see what their reactions are before you introduce them.

    The girlfriend deserves a better mother to meet. Pay some actors to pose as your parents.

    Im not sure i understand what "theyve been used up and she deserves better" means? Sounds like an insult, but not really.

    Whatver her feeling are, i dont see how your approach is going to change them. Only time will. I would just tell her you know how she feels, but would prefer she just get to know them and give you both a chance.

    I know she would end up understanding but kinda would feel awkward about her kids, cause growing up she always said, I don't know how someone can love someone else's kids as much as their own, which to a certain degree I agree with.

    If your mom loves you she'd be happy for you.

    Your mother is mad because she's worried that you won't make any of your own babies. Tell her that you're gonna make your gf preggers.

    Problem: Your mom may not like your G/F because she has two children.

    Solution: Tell your mom that you knocked her up ______ years ago and then again _____ years ago (insert age appropriate dates). Then explain that you did an excellent job keeping it a secret and you and your G/F are working things out. At this point, your mom will be so mad/disappointed in you that she won't hate your G/F for having 2 kids.

    Potential Backfire: She may hate your G/F for others reasons, specifically for allowing you to knock her up.

    Tell her they were both virgin births and act like you really believe it.

    Unless your girlfriend wants to keep them a secret or something, just tell the parents beforehand. Maybe even say she has two kids and ask the parents if they'd like to meet them too. You may be young and broke; but that'll change soon enough. Your parents will only get weaker, less useful and lonelier, ditch the honor student act and tell em what's what.
