Telling your adult kids

June 04 2023

Does anyone have any advice or experience telling their adult children that they have an open relationship?? Thoughts as we want to be honest as we want to travel separately to different destinations

    Make sure to let us know how this turns out. My advice: NFW

    Just have the conversation. We've been open with our kids since they were in late primary school... Now all teenagers. Its not as tricky of a convo as you may think.... There's so many different kinds of marriages and families these days. And yours are adults so they should get the concept pretty well.

    DUUUUDE, They are "adult" children. They probably already have some idea. They aren't stupid! Be open and honest. If you can have that conversation with your partner (that's if you have; because your profile staus is incomplete), you can have that conversation with them. Ms Foxy

    /\ what they said. Our son doesn't want to know about it and our daughter thinks it's cool. Let us know how you go.

    Theres something's your kids dont need to know , this is one of them.. Theres no need to spoil their image of how they see their Mum and Dad.. Besides ' Mum and Dad deserve to have a life of their own without involveing their kids in everything they do ...

    Sloppy closing of ipad apps (not by me) meant one of our then teenage kids learned. Told the other (older) and one them then told my family. The kids were a headache, my family were AWESOME, "whatever makes you happy". Now years on the younger one is very accepting, makes sure she let's us know she's ok with different relationship models but is happy with monogamy. I made MrElectric tell his dad, who was absolutely fine too. We're out to our closest friends, old and new, and it's been really positive. We feel it's important to role model ENM so people know it works for some people as otherwise the first time anyone hears it from a friend is when the couple breaks up.

    Our kids are now 20 and 17 and we hope they never find out. They have been brought up as nudists and actively participate around the house and at the beach. They see us naked with the friends in our group but have no idea we swing with them (as the other kids in the group who range from 16 to 25 have no idea). They obviously see my piercings and have stumbled upon our sextoys (as I received a shock finding my daughters rabbit in her sock draw), but they just think mum and dad are horny for each other.
