Do you think your children should know if you were married before?

I don't know I don't think it was bad...even when I found out it did not make any diffrence it did not change who you are...in my eye's it was ok cause there was no reason for us to know...it did not effect us any...

well, normally I would agree with you, but i've had a situation like that...my grandfather had obviously been married more than once..of course, back then children weren't privileged to hear anything like that..anyway, my aunt and i found out long after her parents passing that he had 3 children by a former wife..we tried long and hard to find out who they were...she actually had half sisters and brothers that didn't even know she existed. She would have loved to have found them, and if her parents had told her at least a last name or an area, maybe she would have been able to find her brothers and sisters. That's a really hard one to call...I guess I would have liked to have known all of my parents history just to keep the family informed and to be able to pass down the family history..even if it was with someone else.

Yes of course

I think that they need to know it.

i dont think that matters...but at some point you can say them a word or 2 about your pass ...just to clear your soul :D

yes, i think they should know because later on down the road they'll know where you came from and will understand you better for why you feel certain ways about things.

yes. i think it is necessary, i see no harm. the sooner they know, the better.

Yes you should tell them because eventually they will find out from someone. It may be at school or at a friends house. It may not pertain to them but if they find out from somebody else they will think you lied to them. It should not be a big deal anyway, many children live in families with former marriages. When they are old enough to understand you should have a talk with them and explain.

i guess its a matter of what u wanna keep personal, but i think they should know about you and your past. theres nothing wrong with that. if they are kinda dark secrets wait until age appropriate...
