Should I ever let my kids know that I have a criminal record?

It'll catch up with you at some point, you might as well tell them

What's the record for, and how old are your kids? I guess you could mention it if it comes up in the natural flow of conversation, or if you have to discipline them you could bring it up then if it's relevant.

The only good reason I can think of to bring it up with them is if it's something that's easy to find - like if you're on a sex offenders list, or googling your name brings up a newspaper article about how you knocked off a jewellers. If your kid's friends find out about it before they do it'd be an absolute disaster.

I was arrested for disorderly conduct way back. my kids are between the ages of 10-13.

Just tell them in high school before a football game or whenever they have an opportunity to get into trouble

>you know actually when I was xx age I did stupid thing xx and got disorderly conduct on my permanent record, it was really dumb, don't let it happen to you.

Just tell them when they're like 14-15. They'll probably think it's cool.

Make them listen to "The trooper" by Iron Maiden every day for a whole year.
Then tell them about your criminal record.

Learn to play with perspective homie ;)
