Like when I lived at home I would generally into someone to my parents in the first couple of months. Now that I don't, well I've been with someone for 8 months and he hasn't met my parents (or my kid even for that matter).

Huge respect. My personal pet peeve is when it turns into boyfriend of the month club for kids.
People date, things go well, and then they don't work out. Shit happens. Your kids don't need to go along for that ride. New bf(or gf really) is going to be all awesome for the kid, lets go play in the park and be pretend parent of the month, and then things don't work out with mom and its pulled like a plug. Not cool. PLUS, odds are the non-residents parental relationship is probably already strained, because people never set their feelings aside for the benefit of the kids.
An ex of a friend moved in with a new girlfriend after a couple of weeks of, I'm going to say dating, but really fucking each other and she has a 12 year old kid! Like, how does that conversation go?
"Hey lil' dude...I don't really know his name, but you can call him daddy!"
Then they break up briefly, and get back together for the sake of the kid(?!?...you mean the kid thats not even his?) and have this rocky romance and this poor child that is just a fucking sponge is watching all this shit. Two years later he's already got some pretty fucked up ideas on relationships, which scares me that he's asking older girls for head. Props for aiming high I guess.
And I have to wonder, is this the first guy to have moved in, boned mom and moved out?
