[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Posts like OP’s always stir up such venom and sanctimony.  The suggestion that a cheating spouse can’t love their kids or be a good parent is ridiculous.  Another poster hit it right on the head: most cheaters don’t ever think they will get caught, are compartmentalizing and the parenting part of them is often doing just fine.  It’s only when they get caught that there’s a problem.

No one knows what’s going on in anyone else’s head, and no one is in any position to judge anyone else’s parenting simply because there’s infidelity in the marriage.

It’s interesting.  I follow the college admissions forum and I see a lot more damage being done to children there than the theoretical damage that can be done by a cheating spouse.  [/quote]

To me it's kind of like driving the kid with no seatbelt on.  Or sending them out on a bike with no helment.  You love them, you are about them, you think chances are they'll be fine, you won't have an accident.  But then OOPS your choice to engage in risky behavior ends up hurting your kids.  Well, that's the risk you chose to take.  The kid had no choice in the matter.  You made the choice, and you hurt your kid.[/quote]
