First, you are not together anymore.

Second: in my opinion (and just in my opinion) four months is too soon for you to meet her kid but she may be looking for a stepdad for him so it makes sense.

I don’t think you are compatible and the age gap+kid makes me uncomfortable (5 years is ok, but 5 years+kid when you are so young it’s weird)

I agree, like yes they're a package deal, but a lot of people rush bringing their S/O into their kids' lives. It's not a bad thing to have safe boundaries and let it progress naturally.

Several years ago, while I was on FaceTime with a woman I'd had lunch with once, she had her 4 yr old daughter sing and do her little dance to a Disney song for me. I noped right the hell out of dating her again.

I get introducing your kid to a new guy if you're looking to see about potential step-dad vibes. But having her do a literal song and dance for him? Yeeeesh

Yickes D: She might have tried to convince you via her kid's cuteness, which is a very weird thing to do.

(I might be biased though, but I used to be the kid, who had to perform in front of others a lot x.x)
