What Should Children Do If They Catch Either Parent Cheating? by Esss(m): 11:53am On Jan 17, 2008
What would you do if you caught either of your parents cheating??

1. Would you report to the other parent??
2. Would you say it's none of your business and walk away??
3. Or would you seize the moment and blackmail the parent involved??

Now, that's a tough one

I'll definitely lose respect 4 d party again. Cos our folks are our very 1st role models.

Will i tell? i really don't know but if i'm pressed, i prolly will spill.

Cleverly take position. If I find any parent of mine cheating, I am cutting him/her out of my life. Forgiving them and keeping quiet is like giving consent.

wat i will do is call either of ma parents aside and talk to him or her and if he doesnt listen i report the issue to ma rev father in church cos cheating is a sin before man and God,

I don't like strangers poking their nose into my private life even if he's heavenly father. If your parent refuses to see reason, report him/her directly to the other one.

After the rev father, who shall you call on?

Would you be able to live with yourself knowing you were directly/indirectly responsible for your parents break-up?

As my contribution to peace on the home front, i will keep sealed lips especially if the one caught is father because i wouldn't want to break my mum's heart.

Why did s/he cheat in the first place? I feel that anyone who cheats is just selfish and a coward. S/he wants to eat her cake and have it. As for me a commitment is a commitment and once you get in do your best to make it work. If you can't anymore, you leave without hurting more than a normal break-up would.

LMAO at the replies
@topic,i wud walk up to him/her while at the act/scene where i caught him/her and greet him/her "hello daddy/mummy" and move on.
wont tell the other partner or my brothers either.
keep watching and observing,to see if it was just a fling,if it has stopped or if its a permanent relationship.
i wud pray real hard for a change.
if it doesnt stop then i wud tell my brothers,perharps writting an sos letter/visit to the intruder might solve it. tongue undecided

Adultrers and adultresses as well as fornicators in the house, be warned. grin grin grin
Re: What Should Children Do If They Catch Either Parent Cheating? by almondjoy(f): 9:43am On Jan 21, 2008
Mind their own damn business and look the other way.  Never get caught in the middle of something that absolutely gives you an adult responsiblity as a kid. 

Let the parents slug it out without involving the kids if possible.  People should teach their kids early what constitutes their business and what does not before they become fantastic gossips with no meaningful way of occupying their time.

Maybe one of the reasons we have so many of them on Nairaland! wink

Pathetic!
Re: What Should Children Do If They Catch Either Parent Cheating? by Sissy3(f): 4:35am On May 28, 2009
i will tell. yea, i have big mouth i dnt care. i hate cheaters so i dont really care who is doing it, but i will tell.

it will eat me up inside knowing one of my parent is cheating and other one doesnt really know about it.
Re: What Should Children Do If They Catch Either Parent Cheating? by tpiah: 5:44am On May 28, 2009
in a country like Nigeria, they dont call it cheating unless it involves the female half.

For the men, they can always say its their culture. Or blame everything on something the wife did or didnt do.
