She’s Only Been Dating Her Boyfriend For 4 Months And He Told His Kids They Can Call Her Mom
A 23-year-old woman certainly has a more interesting past couple of years than many other women that are the same age as her.
She got married really young at 19 to a guy that she considered to be her “high school sweetheart”; only to get divorced 2 years later.
Right after her husband became her ex, she landed a new job at a real estate company working as an administrative assistant, which is how she ended up meeting her current boyfriend.
It was while she was attending an event in her industry that she was initially introduced to her boyfriend 4 months ago, and when she learned about his personal life it instantly tugged at her heartstrings.
“I immediately felt bad for him because he said he was a single father to two daughters and that their mother had died of cancer two months ago,” she explained.
“A week after we met, he asked me out for coffee and I declined, thinking it was too soon after his wife died.”
“But we continued talking over text and the phone and two weeks later I agreed to go out to dinner with him.”
Over dinner, he revealed to her that right before his wife passed away he had filed for divorce, though after she became ill he decided to be there for her in the last month that she was alive.
He insisted that he had known that things between him and his wife were not good for some time, so although she passed just a few months ago he was already checked out of his marriage.

As her relationship with her boyfriend progressed, she did meet his kids, but that was only after 2 months of seeing one another.
Her boyfriend invited her to attend his 8-year-old daughter’s birthday party, and he told his children that she was just “his friend.”
The sister of his wife who passed away instantly knew it was more than that, and ended up grilling her until her boyfriend was able to whisk her away from that conversation.
After that, her boyfriend would have his nanny take his children to specifically “surprise” her at things they were doing together, just the two of them.
That wasn’t all too shocking for her, but what happened just yesterday really did leave her with her jaw on the floor.
“I have gotten close to both kids, especially the younger daughter but I was in for a surprise when yesterday his younger daughter called me mom,” she said.
“His older daughter said that her dad said they should call me mom. When I asked my boyfriend about the mom thing he said that he’d be very happy if they considered me their mom and that his younger daughter will not remember his ex-wife that much, if at all.”
In response to him, she pointed out that all of this was overloading her. She’s worried about his wife’s sister getting upset once she learns that his children are referring to her as their mom.
Now, she does love her boyfriend, even if they only have been together for 4 months, and she can envision herself having children with him and building a family, but having his kids calling her mom already is too much for her to really deal with at this point.
“I can interact well with his kids, but I tried to tell him that I didn’t have the skills to jump headfirst into mothering,” she continued.
“And he just dismissed it and said that when I have a baby of my own it will come so natural and quickly and I won’t have any problems with children, but until then, it is just trial and error.”
Do you think there is any way she can slow things down here?
