Why are you always such a doormat for your kids or whatever?

And as I said to you, you know... Even if they give you a bit of flack to start off with, because that's kind of understandable.

They're children.

And in the same way that a new partner can be jealous of their new partner's children, those children can be jealous of their parent or partner because that person is taking time away from them.

So,

a really important fundamental thing.

If you've gone on three dates with somebody, don't be introducing them to your children.

You'd want to be going out with them months.

And you would want to have it in your head that potentially they are a future partner, I think.

Otherwise, don't bother to introduce them.

Otherwise, keep your...

Intergenerational romance, no one wants to know about.

I don't want to know about my children's sex lives.

They don't want to know about my sex lives.

I didn't want to know about my parents' sex lives.

Nobody wants to know about the sex lives of the generation of whoever below them.

No, not at all.

So don't even introduce them.

No, don't even introduce your children to somebody unless this is a potential...

I think the expression, you'd show them the new person on a need to know basis.
