Hypothetical question???????????

[countrygirl12]

If you knew that your son or daughter was being cheated on would you tell your son or daughter? or is it none of your business? 

I think you should tell them. I know of a situation where a wife is being cheated on and her best friends know it but aren't telling her.  That is wrong.  If I were dating a guy and he was cheating on me and I found out my family and friends knew he was cheating and didn't say anything I would be really upset.

You can say it like this ' I need to tell you something.  I know you may not believe me or want to believe me but here it is.  (Present the information and if you know it for sure then you should have some proof to show them) And let them do with it what they want to.  Just tell them you feel they have a right to know.  And what they do with the information either way you will stand behind them.  Even if they make the wrong decision and you are secretly doing this...

I don't have any sons, but have 2 daughters.  If I knew for sure their husbands were cheating on them, you better believe I would tell them.  I would never want everyone else in the community to know but them.  I know they would be hurt in the beginning, but better late than never.  I love my girls and would not want them hurt anymore than they would have to be.  Also, I would want them to tell me if my husband was cheating!

Oh I believe it is definitely my business. I gave birth to my girls and I would not want to see them hurt over some stupid guy who cheated on them. My husband and I will be married 22 years Saturday and they have grown up seeing us together. Never has there been anyone else. But I would also hope since they have seen us that they would know the signs.

   Always tell them the truth...even if it hurts.

[hawkeye3210]

Of course you tell them. It shouldn't even be a question.

Unless you have a lot  you know for sure and can prove it. i wouldn't say anything. I knew my ex was cheating on me a long time before we split the sheets, but i had 2 young sons that i had to think of and he would have fought me tooth and nail to keep me from getting them. So i stayed until the kids were hold enough (13 and 15) to decide who they wanted to be with, The older stayed with him so he could be with the kids his age. The youngest wanted to be with me so that is what we did. But they were never far apart. although i moved about 2 hours away. So a person never knows for sure what is going on and how much the other half is going to put up with.

I agree unless you have proof I would not say anything until I have it because when people are in love they will not believe a word you say without facts.  I know this because me and my cousin are more like sister but a guy she was dating was simply no good and I told her without proof and we did not talk for almost five months when she finally caught him.

Something like that is your business. Just present your suspicions (evidence) to your son/daughter and let them draw their own conclusions.

I'm glad it worked out Moonangel. There's a reason for the old saying about don't kill the messenger.  Your son could have been angry with you for years whether it was fair or not.

I don't have any kids, but I know if I were in that situation, I would want my parent to tell me.

Depending on the age of the son or daughter, they may not believe you at first, but I think the notion would lead that to investigate and find out the details. They know deep down that you wouldn't say that just to hurt them (unless there's a very rocky parent/child relationship there.)

[amaravee]

of course i would tell them.... its not the same if it was someone you didnt know or care about

[Shandara09]

I would tell them, and I would do the same for anyone that I love, and I would hope they would do the same for me.

[sdecaro558]

Yes, I would tell them.  It won't make them happy at the moment, but it will be better for them to know in the long run.

[penguinito]

If thats your kid then you should be responsible for it.

[lmavans]

I would tell them there is nothing more important than trust with your kids and I believe you should be honest with them no matter what!!!
