[quote=Anonymous]I get not telling the kids. We are close to our in-laws so right before holiday gathering we had to “break” their divorce news to our very sheltered kids.... 4 and 9 at the time. It’s crazy but we see them a lot, our kids are close and close in age, and we felt like their news was impactful to our kids as well. “Cousin Larla is going to be spending time with her other extended family during the holiday so you won’t see her for x y z traditional family activity ”. We tried to make it sound exciting. “Cousin Larla gets 2 xmases”. And had to temper that with, but DH And I are staying together. Anyway....everyone showed up fir the holiday gathering and they ended up reconciling. And so my kids commenced to asking embarrassing questions like “so you don’t get 2 holidays now”. So I get why OP wouldn’t need to tell her kids if they don’t see the in-laws often. It’s just more confusion and unnecessary lessons in “uncle loves another woman now”. [/quote]
