Coparenting in Captivity comic #6: The new partner introduction. Went… fine?

#6

The new partner introduction. Went… fine? 😳

"Okay, just play it cool. Don't say anything weird." "Hey kids, this is my uh... friend. Jordan."

Five minutes in: kids are cuddled up to Jordan, and one announces: "So you're the reason Mom's been singing in the shower again."

PANCAKES!

Introducing a new partner to your kids is genuinely nerve-wracking. But sometimes the kids skip the awkward phase entirely and go straight to unconditional acceptance — and then to immediately, completely embarrassing you.

They're not trying to make it weird. They just have absolutely no filter. 🧇

Has your kid ever said something deeply revealing at the exact wrong moment?
