Yes and no. Yes you should tell them, but not now. Wait until they're a little older to understand.

Answer

Yes you should tell them, not now since they are a bit young. Maybe a year or teo.

Answer

I would tell them when they are old enough to understand. Don’t wait too long but they should know

Answer

My grandfather isn’t my mom’s biological dad. She was told when she was old enough to realize that she had a different last name from him (my mom’s maiden was my grandmother’s maiden name.)
I’d maybe wait until they’re old enough to understand.

Answer

Absolutely, I mean not right now but when they get older. Everyone should be able to at least know where they come from, even if the other parent is just a dead beat

Answer

I would say yes tell them, I say this as I didn't find out my dad wasn't my biological father until i was 11 and I found out by accident, my mother never had any plans to tell me and so I found out on my own, and now part of me resents my mother for keeping this from me, we still have a great relationship but there's just some anger rooted deep down in my mind, I'm 20 now and still have this feeling, I think it wouldn't have been so much better to have known from the beginning

Answer

I was 8 when I was told I had a different dad to my brother and now I look back I still think that was a bit young I tried not to let on to my mum how much effect me coz all she knew was what she thought was the best for me

Answer

Just wait til they are older
