Those are the words my former husband spouted off to me when I confronted him about lying to the children when they confront him about the things he does. I told him that anytime the children have ever come to me with questions about my past that I did not deliberately lie or talk about someone else's past faults to make myself look better. I told him that I acknowledge what they have to say and answer the best way I can even if it means I'm in the hot seat. Why does he spout that I think I'm better than everyone else? I've never thought that in my life. I do try to live my life right and learn from my mistakes. I'm not perfect but what I am is forgiven.

Short and sweet is the answer.
Guilty Conscience on his part.

Some parents want their children to think they never did anything stupid or made mistakes when they were younger. But I feel that children need to learn that their parents are human, and mistakes were made. Making mistakes is a part of the growing up process.

You're in the right, he's just upset.
He's just angry and probably guilty of his past. The only reason I can think of as to why he would say such a thing to you, is because he might feel lowered. He might feel as though you're better than him because you can tell your children about your past, and he has problems talking about it. You should talk to him. Good luck :)

His ego is playing a great part in his decision making and answering ability, If that grows it is going to cause a lot more problems in the lives of all.

you are doing the right thing by being honest with your children regardless of the outcome to yourself or others.your kids will know they can trust you to be honest even if it hurts and appearently your husband will never have that relationship with them and that will be his loss,keep up the good work and dont let him drag you or your ethics down.
