I just think some of us are confused when you say your son forbids it in the house and you honor that but as long as he doesn’t know, you can hide in the pork closet and indulge. I recall you used to scour labels for any trace of pork and wouldn’t buy it. I guess he has lifted the ban on pork products?

Exactly. At some point the kid is going to figure out that you have been lying to him all this time. IMO, it would be best to say upfront that he doesn't have to eat pork but that you are the adult and can eat what you want. I don't get all the deception but as Fink said, it is up to you.
Have you always celebrated Shabbat?
