What time is right to tell my 5 yr old my husband is not his dad?

Tell him when your son has learnt all about families so he undrstands the principals I hope this helps.You dont even have to tell him pretend and act and try to be 100% certain that he is his dad you then wont spoil the realtionship between them.

when hes some what 10 it all maters if your husband is still living whith you if hes then tell your son when he is 10 that the best I can say. hope it wokes out :)

dont tell him. your husband is more of a father to him than his real dad. why upset the kid?

I believe that telling him now is a good idea because if y’all thought him any respect he’ll never say that to any one who his loved him and care for him.

Actually, you’re wrong bct91303, BIOLOGICALLY your husband isn’t your sons father, but otherwise he is. Your husband is taking part in raising the boy, so he’s being a Father to the child, like you said. Just let it go.

not now…later on when he has more sense and understands the cycle of life. Because im pretty sure hes going to want to know what happened why it happened and when it happened and hes too young to understand that …when hes around 10 it would be better

He probably will want to know his real father… Any possibility for him to meet his father? Don’t know why, but sth tells me that NO. Don’t tell anything now. He is just so young… He will get upset and confused… Please wait for a little while more… Let him grows up… Because he is in balance because of his age. 5 year… Would NOT be fair. Good luck ;)

my parents told me when I was in 4th grade about my dad not being my real dad.
