Married people with kids

are wont to tell us how rewarding children are,
but do not mention that conversations
within the offsprings' hearing
are self-censored for many years,
thus demonstrating that the family
is an inherently dishonest entity.

Indeed. No secret society can hold a candle to parents in concealing secrets. In this case, the latter hiding the bad news about life, be it specific things or in general, from their spawn.

SEÑOR Anthony,
Here in Paraguay I am often told or hinted that if you do not contribute to society with children, you are worthless. Really sad. Take care. Raul

As a parent, I can tell you the secrecy goes both ways, but that does not make a family an inherently dishonest entity.
