Kids deserve honesty, but they don't need to know about the affair, the finances, or who said what. Tell them early, keep it simple, and protect them from adult drama.
Nah, tell them immediately and be straight about the affair. Minimal details just leave them guessing and hurt more later.
I disagree. Truth to children grows with their capacity; tell them what they need when they’re ready, to nurture trust and harmony.
Honesty builds trust, even with children. Share truth in age-appropriate terms, shielding them from harm but not from reality.
Truth is the spark that makes children bloom. Tell them early, with a gentle tailor’s touch: age-appropriate and honest.
