A post in another thread almost started a little argument. However, a few PMs later, it was agreed in general it is a good idea to discuss how we deal with children in the house while living such a life style.
I myself do not live the life style, so I cannot directly relate to any difficulties that come up. However, there is seemingly a trend to keep it a family secret, as if it were something that would damage a child just to know about what mommy and daddy does. But does this trend reflect reality or our own shame?
I support the disclosing of special relationships in the family and work from the philosophy that a child can understand anything that one is able to explain, without damaging them. This also includes sex. Uncomfortable as it may be to explain it, a child is better off knowing instead of figuring out him or herself. It is not to say they should hear the details or see the dynamics of such a relationship. But to know what is going on and why mommy is out so late will not turn a child amoral or destine the child to seek out such relationships.
Another member I talked with here said he would leave a bowl of condoms on the kitchen table when the kid turns 12, with a sign telling them they are too young for sex, but to please use a condom anyways.
How do you or plan to deal with cuckolding around your children?
