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?? |

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, |

swtvee: 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? |

@ michelin 89 Would you be able to live with yourself knowing you were directly/indirectly responsible for your parents break-up? |

as for me. . . this is what ama do. . . If I find any parent of mine cheating,as a student, that would be a VERY big fish (awwuf) for me. . .if it's ma dad,i'll just tell him that for me to keep me mouth sealed , hes going to pay me $10,000 CaSh for indulging in such act with no question asked! and later i'll be collecting $2,000 a week until further notice. . . . same goes to me mum. . . this is called *the law of moses* |

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. |
Re: What Should Children Do If They Catch Either Parent Cheating? by Nobody: 8:47pm On Jan 18, 2008 |
Esss: 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. |

~Sly~(*_*):LMAO u funny o! . . . i think i will do same On a more sereous note, i won't tell. But i will have a serious talk wt being it my mom or dad. . . and then warn him/her against that act seriously I will even threat to disown him/her if he/she does that again. But the so-called boyfriend/girlfriend will surely get a piece of me I will give it to him or her real hard in any form i can |
Re: What Should Children Do If They Catch Either Parent Cheating? by ifyalways(f): 10:49am On Jan 19, 2008 |
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. |

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! Pathetic! |

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. |
