My 16-Year-Old Did Something Big Behind Our Backs. I Don't Want to Tell My Husband for Two Years.
Briefly

The article features a letter from a concerned parent about her daughter Veronica, who got a tattoo from her cousin. The mother is conflicted about whether to keep this a secret from her husband, anticipating his negative reaction. Although the tattoo is not extreme and Veronica is academically successful, the mother worries about the potential fallout if the husband discovers the truth. The response emphasizes considering the father's possible reactions and the implications of secrecy within family dynamics.
"Shitty" may be a bit too vague; is he going to slut-shame your daughter? Call her out her name? Punch a hole in the wall? If you think his response will be in any way harmful or hurtful to your daughter (and/or you), then you shouldn't tell him.
But know that he maybe much more upset if he finds out on his own, and especially with you if he finds out that you knew.
