[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here.  OP, I don't love this.  I can see it happening very occasionally, but I don't want you teaching my kids to help you cover your errors.  I don't expect you to be perfect, I don't care if you burn dinner and serve mac-n-cheese again (though I care about nutrition in general but that's a separate issue).

But semi-routinely asking my children to lie for you to cover your back?  And seeming to treat their willingness to do it as a measure of their love for you?!  Yikes.

Not cool.  It isn't my kid(s)' job to cover for you.  It's fun for them to be your allies in harmless allegiances - sure.  But lying for you?  Nope.

You and I have to be the most important allies and I need to know that you're honest and direct with me. If I'm not confident in that then you're not the right person for the job.

And I agree w/ the pp - it really makes you sound incredibly immature.  I don't want anyone w/ a teenager's mentality of pulling one over on the parents in the nanny role for my kids.  I want a grown up.  Maybe you can't cook, but you see yourself siding with the grownups, not the children.[/quote]

Absolutely this.

I would never ask my charges to keep a secret. It's just a bad idea.[/quote]
