[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your wife is right.  It isn't good to teach kids to have secrets from a parent.  It means that person can then get the kid to keep other secrets that really should be told to the parent.  It teaches the kid that they can have secrets from their parents which can be dangerous especially if a predator then also comes up with a fun secret.

Even though your mom didn't do it with any malice why does she need it to be a secret.  Keeping secrets from parents is just slightly creepy to me and what other things are being said to keep the secret "Oh we have to keep this a secret otherwise mommy will get angry".  Does she put your wife down this way.

In a way it is a way to create a division between child and parent.  It's really not good, it's not sweet and it's not nice.[/quote]

Ugh! I so don’t want to agree with this but I must. It’s like one upping. Grandparents are infamous for this game. Surprises are okay. Secrets no. [/quote]
