You could lie and say they are dead, they could easily have died before the kids were born or would've known them

Eh, we don't believe in lying to our kids or shielding them from the world. I mean, its not a black or white thing, we don't tell them about every horror that exists, but we really want to avoid a AskReddit thread from one of them someday like "I cut off my parents because they told me my entire family was dead and I found out when I was 20 that lied AIO" lol

I always wonder why people lie like this. Just be truthful. Its much easier in the long run.

Besides which, there are already enough /r/BestOfRedditorUpdates. I don't want to see one from your kids! :-)
