[quote=Anonymous]I saw this posted in the tribe too on Facebook, it's not a troll.

I think the OP's intention was to make lighthearted in her own mistakes. If you can laugh at yourself, you'll behead of the curve. However, I think it was the use of the word "secret," that set everyone off.

However, my older sister was molested by one of our childhood caregivers. I swear, it was by her protection and the grace of God nothing happened to me. She was told a story to trust and believe our caregiver, that she was helping him release some demons and that in order for the demons to leave it had to be a secret. We grew up religious, so at age 8, she believed it to be true. She didn't tell anyone until she was 32. This was after the therapy she received for her crack addiction she had to deal with her sexual abuse.

So yeah, I don't like secrets.

I don't keep secrets with kids. If you really want to protect them, you can never promise to keep a secret, especially if they want to tell you something such as they are being molested. As nannies, we are mandated reports to any abuse to children. If they learn it's okay to have secrets with the nanny, they may think that all secrets, good or bad, are okay.

Also, I do appreciate the mother who commented saying she felt it was the nanny having the kids lie for all she did wrong. I can understand that mother's thought process. [/quote]
