[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No child should be asked to keep a secret from a parent. [/quote] +1 We've made it clear to our kid that NO ONE should ever ask her to keep a secret from us, and even if they do, she can -- and should -- always tell us. We draw a distinction between secrets and surprises -- surprises are okay, because you are going to tell the parent, you are just waiting to make it fun, like a surprise gift or a surprise party. It's not that I don't trust my parents or in-laws. It's because I don't trust other people who might ask the kid to keep secrets. So I'd rather she never get in the habit of it or have it normalized.
