    surprised that people would make it or in disbelief that someone would think any gilf porn is bad?

    I watch as much gilf porn as the next guy, but the incest implications of the title “Nonna’s No-No” may have me skipping that one.

    I assume your family doesn't know much of any details but I'll ask, does anyone know how your biological grandfather moved/got moved out of the picture? How long where her and Glen together before they married? I want to know the backstory now

    Different times, man. I'm sure they, or definitely at least she, weighed out the potential consequences of her kid being known in public as an out of wedlock kid by a different father in the 1940s-50s and decided it was best to bury it. It probably wasn't as easy of a thing as you think.

    I wasn't talking about them particularly, just the general idea that it's nobody's business. I think it is the kids business. Mayne you wait until the kid is 20 but at some point you have to tell them. You can't just take that to thw grave with you. It's tough but you have to be honest with your kids.

    What if he finds out he's married to a biological cousin? This is intriguing!

    This was part of our discussion when deciding about telling him or not. There's no opportunity for answers or closure. My grandmother does have one sister still alive and someone is going to reach out to her. But she was much younger than my grandma and may have been too young to know the whole situation.

    Thankfully in 2024 you can identify as whatever you want even if you’re not Italian

    Late to the Italian dad convo and skipped several pages but IMO the best way to approach these situations is to ask three questions

    Is it true?
    It it necessary?
    Is it kind?

    If it's two of the three, you tell the person. If not, probably better not to. This situation hinges on the "Is it necessary?" question which I don't think anyone here can really answer
