Tiger Will Tell His Kids the Truth About Affairs

Tiger Woods to Tell His Kids the Truth; Do You Agree?

July 1, 2010

Tiger Woods put himself in an uncomfortable situation, but try explaining that to his children. The famed athlete said he will be "upfront and honest" with Sam and Charlie when they are older. When a family is broken up by infidelity, who do you think should explain what really happened to the children (then or later on in life): the parent who cheated, the spouse, or both adults?

Anonymous #2, I applaud you for yous decision. I don't think that children need to know what their father or mother did. That is between the father and mother. In Tiger's case, however, they both should sit them down and tell them.

He has no choice. He isn't the average family - his indiscretions have been splashed all over the media. They will learn at some point even if he doesn't tell them. In this circumstance, I think they should both sit down and talk to them about it, but not together.

My husband are divorcing over this and his use of drink/drugs; the divorce is almost entirely down to his very inappropriate behaviours. I've often wondered what in the world am I going to tell our (now 21 month old) daughter when she's old enough to ask, and realized that her daddy needs to tell her. All I can say to her is that her daddy and I couldn't live together, it had nothin to do with her and we both love her very much. He is the one who needs to tell her because these are his demons, not mine. If he does do as Frankle says ("if your mother had given me more time", etc.), all I can do is hope that she will talk to me about it. Of course, saying that, what I'd really like to say when she asks is that I left her father b/c he's a no-good POS, but that's probably not in her best interests!!!!

This is a difficult situation to be in. If Tiger tells them, he might go over-board about how sorry it is, and somehow blame the mum "But if your mother had given more time/attention" ect. If mummy tells them, she might go on the attack. "He cheated, thats a low and evil thing to do, he should burn in the fires of Hell" ect. But if both parents tell the children together, there might well be 2 very different versions and arguments.
