Does she know you have children? If so, then anytime would be a good time. Try to make sure the situation isn't so akward for your son or your new partner that they want to get away. Your goal should not only be making a proper introduction, but also trying to set up a certain level of comfort for everyone involved so that you, your son, and your girlfriend can all get used to and closer to one another.

A girlfriend??? The way you word that sounds like this woman is just someone you are f...-ing. If that's the case, never. If you are serious about a woman....I'd wait at least a few months, then ease into it by introducing her as a friend...Going someplace with her and the kid...See how it goes. Then, the real fun begins..Your ex freaking out over her son being around your "ho". Your girlfriend stressing over trying to make the kid like her,And most important, Your son confused as hell, worried that if he does like her, he is being disloyal to his mom. What a mess. Good Luck. And please, don't put your son through this until you've met someone you plan on keeping around for a while.

why wait? and introducing him for what? need more information. if you mean so your son can know your girlfriend and be part of your life...then I would say when you think HE would appreciate the thought. If you just broke up with his mom and it is going to upset everyone then don't. If he is at least a teenager and wants to be part of your life and no longer feels you should be with his mom, then it is cool. But Do NOT hurt others by bringing them into your present relationship if you feel it is not going to be a forever relationship because then it is just "DRAMA".

There is no set period of time, I think it is more about how serious you are about the girlfriend. Children can get very attached to people and it can be very upsetting for them to lose someone who has become important in their life - so when you break up with her, so does your kid. Your first thoughts should be for your child.

I am a parent, and I suggest you wait until you see where the relationship is going. Why risk the child being hurt if you don't have to. See if the relationship is going to last first.

not before you are a 100% sure your girlfriend is someone you are going to have a relationship with and that she is going to stick around. the younger your son is the more careful you need to be, if he sees too many girlfriends he'll get attached everytime and end up getting hurt...a LOT!

Only if you know she is going to be around a while....forever would be good. Don't subject him to meeting lots of girls. It will teach him the wrong things about women and dating.
My husband met my daughter (from my first marriage) after about 3 months.

Don't bring other people into your son's life until you are certain they are going to be around for a long time.
It's wrong for the child to bring in people that you aren't sure are in it for the long haul.
