[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As my grandparents would say, “it’s adult business”. There is no reason to share with kids.

Also, the men have no reason to stray if they are getting their sexual needs met at home. Just saying….[/quote]

+1.

This very recently developed impulse to tell children every intimate detail of your adult life is so gross. Grow up and have some self respect.  [/quote]

“Just sayin’ “ is the cheating lady. Such a trashy expression. Adults that put their needs before their children.  Then get caught and want everyone to keep their secrets. The truth is many kids find evidence themselves.  By age 8/9, they know what’s going on.  And teens, forget it.  They are more tech savvy than their louse cheating parent.

That said, if the kids knew nothing, I would not tell them ever if I were reconciling.  Ever.

If the cheating mom or dad was divorcing/leaving because of the affair, I wouldn’t directly say they were banging someone else.  However, if they were older teens/adults and point blank asked because of high suspicion.  I wouldn’t deny, but I wouldn’t give elaborate details.  Teaching kids to hide secrets and lie is what comes of that.[/quote]
