I am a single mum with teenagers. Everytime I ask my boyfriend (which isn't often) to come over for dinner - he always has an excuse not to come. He says he really really loves me but I'm afraid that if he doesn't accept my kids I'm going to have to end the relationship. They are important to me and if he doesn't accept them or at least try to make an effort to get to know them then I feel that we can't really have a serious relationship. Apart from that everything is so perfect and we get on so well. Any advice? Am I jumping the gun or should I allow time for him to warm up to them (he has been to a couple of family events - about 3 since we met)
