If You Cheat On Your Spouse...Are You A Bad Parent?

[black_vixen]

yeah, you are a bad parent if u allow things in trouble. ikaw mismo ang bad example sa imong kids..
esp, imo pa jed ipakita nga nag.cheat ka, when your kids see how irresponsble you are infront of them.

yes ui.. being a good father starts with being a good husband

My answer: NO.

It seems like most of you argue that if it sets a bad example for the kids. What if the wife and kids don't know that the husband's cheating.

Does that make him a good husband? NO.

Does that make him a good parent? That depends on how he treats his kid(s).

The point.. they're not inter-related at all.

The fact that one of the parent is cheating..... It is bad regardless if the spouse or the kids knows it....

I was listening to the radio this morning and they were discussing this topic as a result of a recent episode of The View. Apparently Joy was arguing this topic with Elizabeth and I'm inclined to agree with Joy.

Her argument was that if you cheat on your spouse, of course you are a jerk, loser, cheat, liar, etc...but that it does NOT make you a bad parent and that those two things are separate.

Elizabeth's "argument" was - how can you be a good parent if you don't have good morals.

Joy went on to argue that if a parent cheats on their taxes, does that make them a bad parent? If they steal/embezzle/etc. does that qualify?

In my opinion, these are matters that are no doubt reprehensible, but I see them as being:

1. None of the child's business. If a marriage breaks up and your 12 year old child asks why, you don't need to explain to them that mommy cheated on daddy or vice versa. This knowledge, at this time, has no business in their world.

2. A definite indicator of the person's morals that *could* (note "could...not WILL) lead to continued bad parenting down the road.

Anyway, they were getting quite heated on the View, so I thought this might be an interesting topic to discuss.

if not, did you just copy this topic there and make it your own? did you really listen to this sa radio?
