I am meeting my ex's new girlfriend (of a month and a hlf)this week because they are going on a trip with my three year old daughter (which I didn't really approve of so soon into their relationship but he talked me into allowing it) I want to be respectful and nice so not to start any drama and hurt out child. Should I just say "Hi" and act how you would act if it was a parent of your child's friend you meet before a sleepover or should I ask certain questions or anything?

i wouldnt really worry about it. just act as though he was a parent of your childs friend. maybe even like your friend. im pretty sure you're child will be fine.

I would call and say that you made a mistake and that you do not want your child going on an overnighter with him and his new girlfriend. You have to remember that what your child sees is how he will model his life. So if he sees "daddy" sleeping in the same bed/room with another woman who is not mommy, he may grow up to think that's ok. I would let your ex know that it's nothing personal against his new girlfriend, but that you have a responsibility as a parent to limit what bad behavior your child sees and until your ex and his new girlfriend have been together longer, your child can't go on overnighters.

I would make sure she knows she is not to disapline your child or anything like that. Your lil girl is sooo little and impressionable. She could get attached to this new girl and then if they break up your lil girl is sad too. Only she wont understand. If i were you i wouldnt let her go on the trip until you know this new lady better...i would NEVER let my baby go with a stranger..and i doubt your EX is very trust worthy...

Your best bet would be polite...she is your ex's new g/f. She may be a permanent fixture in his life. It would be easier all around if you were cordial to her and was nice. She is probably feeling just as uncomfortable as you are with the whole situation. REmember she isn't to blame for whatever happened between you and your ex. Its not like you have to be best friends with her but being cordial is a lot easier. She is helping look after your child after all.

Just make sure the "new girlfriend" knows who's boss and let her know that shes not the mother of your baby so she has no say in your daughters life because shes just a stranger and oh yeah make sure you ask questions about her because thats not being jealous its being a good mother

You shouldn't have allowed this trip to happen with your daughter so soon into the new relationship...he knows very little about her and you know even less, and you are supposed to trust this person with your child? Sounds fishy to me...

I suggest you say no . Don't allow your daughter to go.
you do not know your ex's girlfriend and your daughter does not
either.
Just to be safe . let them get to know each other more.
before letting her go with.
You will feel more secure and so will your daughter,
The new girl friend is a stranger,.
