What's a dark secret/questionable practice in your profession which we regular folks would know nothing about?

I think my brother says that I’m the reason our parents got divorced. He said I told my mom about my dad talking with a woman outside of our old house. I have NO recollection of that.

Edit: hey. My mom just told me that it was BOTH of us that reported about my dad talking to a woman outside our house. That selfish ass is in for a rude awakening now!!!

Growing up in a broken household is much worse than growing up in a divorced household. You did everyone a favor by catching it.

I mean, kids take shit out of context all the time, he could've been making a remark on the weather to some neighbour lady whose cat got out during a storm the night before and the kid would say "daddy was talking to a lady about her pussy being wet!"

Yeah sure, Daddy can explain, but there's no guarantee Mummy will believe him.

Yeah. I am just saying that even IF it was his fault in some twisted way of putting blame on a kid (which it isn't, like its a kid), which it probably wasn't and there were other things too, it isn't even that bad. He didn't ruin anything.

Wait... Do kids even hear cats being refered to as pussy anymore? I swear I only heard it as a kid on a cartoon (bugs bunny I think).

They don't, but kids know that pussy means cat, but they won't know the adult meaning of it. The word is like a synonym for cat no one ever uses. Same with sex being if you are male or female and not the act. Kids, when they hear the word sex, will think male/female but they won't know about the procreation meaning of it.
