Do you think it's weird if a parent and child have a secret apart from the rest of the family?

[ManOnFire]

Like if a father told his son a secret that no one else in the family knows not even his wife. And vice versa with a mom and daughter. Is that weird?

[Calyptomaniac]

For now, there's something only me and my mother-in-law know that no one else in either of our families know. Ironically, we have kept it for over 10 years to stop my sons from knowing it because if anyone else does, they'll find out and I'm still waiting to decide when they're old enough for me to tell them. At some point then, my older son and I will have it from my younger son, until I decide he's old enough too. It's just the three of us so it's not the immediate family we're keeping it from which is more what you're asking, it's my parents and all the in-laws we keep it from for now.

Okay that makes sense.

My mother was seeing a man behind my father's back and my 3 sisters kept it quiet and treated it like it was no big deal.

When it came to light I refused to live with my mother despite the court order, nor would I accept her new man, eventually they let me live with my father and that was only because the new man didn't want me around. I was done with my mother and sisters and haven't talked to them in over 20 years.

Hell, that's not even me but it makes me angry.

My father was a good man, he's dead now but bad enough my mother did that but the complete betrayal of his daughters whom he was very good too.
They've reached out a few times to me, usually when they need help but they did what they did and still ain't even sorry or think they did wrong.

[ManOnFire]

Wowwww really sorry, man.

[Abbycado]

Yeah, I’d find that awkward in my own family.

[ManOnFire]

Right. Something about that is really bothering me.

[Abbycado]

I’d be super bothered too, if I had found out.

[ManOnFire]

Had to zoom in on your photo. Very hot especially with those thick eyebrows, my God. Good black and white too👍🏾

I don't think it's weird but it could be a big responsibility being the only family member that know.

[NathanDavis]

I don't think it is "weird"

that can happen for many reasons... and it seems to be common enough too

My father was cheating on my mother and I found out about it. It was a secret that I kept.

[ManOnFire]

And why?

[Cidknee]

Hell no! Maybe that relationship needs it or perhaps it just fits with how the relationship is. Im all for favoritism. There is nothing wrong with it.

[AgentG111]

Who knows it's there secret.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Nope.
