I am rather perplexed at why adultery is not given more consideration as an example of poor parenting. Yes, one may argue that the too have nothing to do with each other but I would think that how you live your life reflects on the values you instill in your children.
So if you behave in a manor that says lying, cheating, disrespect, and disloyalty is ok. than how can you instill the values of honesty, trust, respect, honour and loyalty?
Do we parent by "do what I say not what I do" or do we "teach by example?"
Do you betray just your spouse or do you betray the whole family unit when one cheats?
JMO if you want to stray, be honest and be brave and leave, then start a new relationship... therefore teaching your kids to face what isn't working head on.
Opinions?
