When ur child gets older, will u share ur 'family secrets' with them?

Question

now that i am older, 32, my mom is telling me a lot of 'family secrets' about my dad, my gran, etc. its all really juicy, butI'mm not sure that i would want to share that with my son when hes older.

will u share with ur child/ren ur family's shady past? or will u make them believe that they are a normal, average family?

i think that i wont offer any info, unless he/they ask.

Answer 1

my family doesn't have a whole lot of shady secrets (or maybe no one has told me yet??? LOL). But there are some things that I will share with my kids when they get older like about how my dad has been married 4 times, I was raised by 4 different women, I want them to know this b/c it's part of my life story, it affected who I am today.  I'll also probably share more about why their dad and I got divorced, b/c I think it's lessons they can learn from.
