Everyone has secrets they keep from their family, whether it's because the truth would hurt their feelings, they simply don't want to hear it, or it would screw us over if we told them. They say ignorance is bliss, and that's certainly true for these Redditors, who responded to a thread asking for the things they would never confess to their family.

    Text - GreenQueenDream 12.8k points 16 hours ago S I'm really happy to only see them once or twice a year due to living 3,000 miles away. I just can't stand them. They all gossip and talk shit and spin their wheels so much you can't even have a normal conversation with any of them. It's all drama and always has been.

    Text - Assrocket33r 20.8k points · 12 hours ago My sisters and I have formed a pact. If any of us start exhibiting signs of becoming like our parents it is the solemn duty of the rest of the sisters to bring that bitch back to reality, or in the event that this fails, execute her. We have all accepted that this is for the greater good.

    Text - MedievalHag 9.1k points · 17 hours ago · edited 17 hours ago That I accidentally got her (my mom) a non vegetarian hot dog one time. I just didn't think when I was ordering. She thought it was the best veggie dog ever and had a great nights sleep that night. I will take that to the grave with me.

    Text - pittiedaddy 19.3k points · 17 hours ago · edited 4 hours ago , I joined the Navy to get away from them, not because I felt some sort of patriotic duty like they tell people. I liked it, I found a purpose, I got great training that got me the job I have today. But I did it because I hated it at home.

    Text - nybebop 846 points · 15 hours ago - edited 8 hours ago That I eat meat. In my religion/caste it is forbidden to eat meat. If my family knew they would disown and cut all ties with me.

    Text - noodles_the_food 558 points · 20 hours ago When I was around 6 I heard that cats always land on their feet so I thought I would test this out on our family cat. I picked up the cat and dropped her over the banister above the stairs in our house. She landed on her side then ran away and hid for a while. When I got older I remembered a separate incident of her getting pregnant and all but two of the kittens being stillborn. I have no idea if she was pregnant when I dropped her over the bani
