Why Do Parents Hide Their Age From Their Children? by piero2u(m): 1:39pm On Apr 20, 2013
It's quite strange that most children do not know their parents age.
When we were younger, it was understood that some parents didn't know their correct age due to lack of proper records from where and where they were born( or at least that's what we were told). But these days,I think parents refuse to tell their children their age because they don't want people to know that they falsify(use football age)their age in their place of work so that they can meet the age criteria for employment.
Or what do you guys think?
