1 Answer

Answer :

Yes I think you are just right in wanting to meet these boys. Anyone who will have close contact with your children and be able to exert an influence on them, you have every right to meet. Try and explain this to your ex, go for a meal or something with them. Your children, especially the eleven year old will be easily influenced by older boys.
