[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just got bitched out by my MB for telling her 6 year old I was disappointed in his behavior. He blatantly lied to me about eating his various when he just threw them away in the trash. I said verbatim in a calm voice, "[b]why did you lie to me?[/b] You know lying is not okay and I'm really disappointed that you lied to me. I think you owe me an apology." MB was in her office and overheard and came right out. She asked what happened, I told her and she proceeded to tell me I was completely out of line. What do you all think?[/quote]

I don't think your wording was too harsh, but you asked a dumb question. You're never supposed to ask a question you already know the answer to. You know damn well he lied to you because he was trying to get away with not having to eat something. You addressed the wrong issue. You were asking for an apology for lying, but the real issue was wasting food.

Ask your MB how she'd like you to handle it in the future if her son lies to you again, or tries to get away with a rule she's laid out and you're trying to enforce in your role as nanny. [/quote]
