Show your dad. This is important.

Or you could keep it to yourself. Your choice.

I'd tell him though.

Bring it up with your mom.. It's better to tell her what you know than to let things build up

if i was you i would talk to your mom.

but like with my parents they were married for 10 yrs, and my mom cheated on my dad, but she told him about it. and she brought them over, and my dad even talked to them. and my dad went clubbing, my mom didnt mind. it was their relationship, but i didnt know about it (i were 9 when they divorced). maybe same with you. so just talk to your mom about it

Sorry to hear that.

nah, i dont mind. more good than bad came out of it. :)
but i always think its kinda funny, because my dad didnt want his Pontiac anymore, he wanted to buy his Cadillac, so he first wanted to sell his Pontiac so he wont have 2 cars, and he sold it super cheap to one of his friends, and then a few yrs later my mom left him for that friend. and every time my dad picked me up after the divorce, he would always tell me- i gave him my car, he took my wife. lol, i always thought it was super funny, just the way he says it.

You should tell no one except your mother. It's her life and her marriage.

It also does effect the child you know.

And the husband also. She is playing with fire, and when you do, you almost always end up getting burned- whether it's now or later- whether they find out or not. Yeah it might be exciting, but can you realistically live with it for a long time without any sense of guilt...?

ok! when things get a little crazy in my life, I take things one day at a time or one hour at a time or even moment by moment. try not to over re-act and get a good nights rest. I always pray before I go to sleep, and tonight I will pray for you and your family...:-)

Ok, you should really talk too your mom about it first, cause you never know it could have been a friend playing around and wanting to hang out. It should be a girl though if not then it is a problem. If your dad and you are around that Friday then he should be there and ask her. Other than that hope you get this straight:)

Keep it to yourself and if it bother's talk to your mother alone,and if it were your father I would say the same.You also may not know what's going on in there love life.She is your mom and that may have a huge impact on all your lives.It's always best to approach a problem head on,but with the source.(your mom)Before you start a war that could cause a terrible outcome for you all.Im just saying you very well may regret it

call an emergency family meeting..this also involves you..she may say its none of your business but it is your business..bring the phone to the meeting and hand it to your mom and say you need to tell dad what is going on. and just sit there. she owes you and him an explanation..

Yeah, I'd talk to your mum first before anything. Word it in a way though that she can't weasel her way out. Just be direct, and concise- but not rude. Something like- when I was using your phone a message popped up from your boyfriend, when are you planning on telling dad? Either way, whether you tell your dad or not, this isn't YOUR fault, if the marriage breaks up. It is your MUM who is possibly in the wrong, not YOU, and it will most likely come out in the end anyways. It says a lot about her personality if she is cheating- regardless of how much your dad may, or may not, be neglecting her. She will be angry that you have spoilt her fun, but she should know better that it's not right to cheat in any game, especially the game of marriage. (Not that its a typical 'game' but you get what I mean- if you don't play it smart, you lose. Simple.)

Btw, also, just try to determine whether its actually a man she was talking to. I don't call any guys "babe", but I call my girlfriends that. Like "What you up to babes?" or "your a babe" when they do something stupid. Just look over the context, and try not to jump to any conclusions.

Confront your mom and tell your dad. I've been through this kind of thing, and the best thing to do is tell your parents

Tell your mom and if she admits to cheating tell your dad, if she doesn't tell your dad anyway.
