Is it ok to tell my son his mother was a hooker when I met her?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Could turn that around and say 'Is it OK to tell my daughter her father was a monger when I met him?' :whip:
Please take into consideration that not all men here are mongers,some of us meet women in normal places like clubs,restaurants ,malls etc,ever hear the term it was love at first sight?
So he met the hooker at the mall and only found out she was a hooker after marriage and a kid?

Is it ok to tell your daughters the reason I left is because your mom was a cheat and show them the evidence?

I guess it depends on how you feel about mom. My daughters are only 8 and 10 so it's not age appropriate to tell them but when they are say 16 and 18, it would be age appropriate. However by then, my anger might have subsided on the one hand and I will always have that soft spot for the woman who gave me two beautiful daughters on the other hand ...

If you want to humiliate the mom, then tell the kid.
I would be fine to tell my kids their mom was a cheat because they would understand better why I left her,
but to tell them she was a prostitute, even as an adult could leave the kids feeling inferior or seeing their mother in a different way, that's just something people should not
know about their own mothers, and former prostitutes should get a chance to escape from their past.

Have you just outed yourself as one of the used condom police?

To answer the question.

Yes it is OK to tell the son the mother was a hooker, if the father is an insensitive asshole. One would expect nothing less.

On a separate note,

How / what did you tell your children when you started dating again? And how long were you together with your new lady before introducing her to your children?

Agree with this, even after everything I’ve been through with my ex I have never and never will bad mouth her to the kiddos. That’s between me and her and there is no reason for the kids to be involved in such discussions.

From "Once upon a time in the west"

Chaeyenne: You know, Jill, you remind me of my mother. She was the biggest whore in Alameda and the finest woman that ever lived. Whoever my father was - for an hour or for a month - he must have been a happy man.

Is it ok to tell my son his mother was a hooker when I met her? Hmm. What did your father tell you about your mother?
