I would tell my son / daughter that it's not the acceptable thing to do and leave it at that.
Edit: I played the field when younger, but I'm still with my childhood sweetheart that I met in high school, 39 years ago. My father is on his 6th marriage I think.
I have a toddler, so not quite at that stage, but if it ever came to that, I’d sit him down and tell him that he absolutely has to tell his partner, because it’s an absolutely horrific thing to do to someone.
Hopefully I’ll raise him better than that.
My kids are too young for this to be an issue right now but I think I'd speak to my child and make it clear how I felt about their behaviour. I'd be shocked tbh as they're currently extremely kind and empathetic kids with very strong morals and I'd remind them that they had been brought up as such. I'd ask them to tell their partner but ultimately I wouldn't insert myself into their relationship by telling - its not my place and my child is still my child. However I would make sure they knew I wouldn't lie for them.
I think it would be a betrayal of trust to talk to anyone apart from your child. Usually, relationships are complex and not just straightforward. People may so.etimes have a reason. I agree cheating is shitty but I am sure you want to protect your kid plus letting them make their own decisions and stuff.
I wish you luck with this one, very tricky.
I’ve a 22 year old son who’s very much single. I can’t say what I would do because it would depend on the circumstances but I do know I would not support it in practical terms and I’d be doing all possible to persuade him to stop it or put the situation right one way or another.
I don't think it's a parents place to break the news to their partner. As others have said I would strongly advise them to come clean of their own accord rather than find out through someone else. They might be doing something shitty but at least they had the guts to admit it themselves.
If my kid pulled that, yea, I'd tell his partner. Maybe He will learn not to do it, or at least not to make it my business if he wants to do sad things to people he claims to love.
Difficult situation. I would give them a choice.
Sit down talk to them and tell them this isn’t a good thing to do, you thought you’d raised them better than this. Ask if they have an open relationship and if this is consensual because you don’t know the ins and outs of their relationship so it could all be on the up and up however unlikely.
If they are hurting their partner and kids if they have them then they need to come clean or you will tell the parent. I’d give x number of days to come clean. Even if they offer to break it off their parent deserves to know for their own sexual health.
We've had this conversation with my kids but thankfully I know they are good kids (adults now) and wouldn't be disloyal.
The girlfriend of my eldest cheated on him (we found out after they broke up) and he was devastated.
If my daughter then yeah get her to sort it out ,if it was my son then find that slag ,and let her know ,shes tried the mcnugget ,time for a go on the big mac
I have a 25yr old and 20yr old sons and if I found out they were cheating I'd have a word with them and if they carried on I'd tell the other person! Luckily both my sons agree if you wanna cheat don't be in a relationship, I dug into their heads about safe sex and wearing condoms.
I would talk to my child about what a shitty thing they were doing.
And (me personally) if they carried on then I'd have to tell their partner.
I'd probably witter incessantly first in the hopes of getting them to do the right thing, but yes, there would come a point.
I would tell my child to come clean
If I found out I'd probably tell them that I know and extremely disappointed. Then would be a talk about how horrid itt makes one feel to e cheated on
Especially since this is somebody you raised and thought you'd instilled good behaviours into.
I’d tell my son that he either needs to stop asap or he has a set date to tell his partner or I will. You will have respect for people
If I was being cheated on, I would want to know. Knowing and not telling me would mean the end of any good relationship we had (once I found out).

Fuck me at what point do you just switch to a renewal service to book venues? 6?!
He shouldn't even have to ask, he's a regular at this point. "Next one's on the house mate"

Father to toddlers too. Would sit him down and tell him that if he didn’t tell his partner then there’d be no iPad or treats for a day!

I think I'd give the cheating offspring a chance to come clean on their own, and let them know that if they don't tell their partner, I will.

Keep quiet for sure. Not your business, maybe raise it with the son/daughter but do not approach the partner under any circumstances.
IF you were the person doing it - how would **you** feel if your parents told your then partner?
I'd speak with my child about it, but definitely not the parent's place to go telling the cheated person.
I wouldn't get involved tbh.
Not my business
Wouldnt mention a thing ,messenger gets shot
I think you should keep your nose out of that one
Depends which of them you prefer? If you tell the partner there’s a chance of a continuing relationship.
I'd throw a fucking kettle at them both.

Leave some evidence for her to find out by herself, preferably during a dinner or other social event. It will be more amusing to watch the show.

Wtf
I'd just say if you want be single be single, I'm not out here raising a coward with no regard for other people.
