[quote=Anonymous]My theory is that a child has a right to express their feelings to the adult in charge (I'm a nanny, btw) within reason. To the rest of the world, the tween or teen will bite her tongue and be polite (I've always taught "kill them with kindness" and it works wonders with snotty girls in school). To me, they are welcome to say things that they know will hurt me with the understanding that they will say it, go cool down, then we will discuss. I would much rather one of my charges say that she hates me that doubt whether I am doing my job adequately or not know if she's going to follow the rules (they never say "I hate you" if they are just going to blow it off).[/quote]
