It’s one thing to have to confront adultery in your own family, but how do parents tackle the issue if kids hear stories in the playground or see other people’s parents kissing strangers while leaving school? It’s a matter typically dealt with behind closed doors, but in recent weeks, tales of confirmed and alleged infidelity involving high-profile couples have loomed large in the headlines. New York-based relationship expert Bonnie Eaker Weil said by hiding problems or lying to kids, parents can make matters worse. Weil said it’s crucial for parents not to be in the game of “blaming and shaming” one another in front of their children. ”You don’t want to destroy the relationship with their child but even more than that, because the child comes from that person.” // Related: Sex and Infidelity Track - Smart Marriages 2009
