[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. It would be like me lying that I took my charge to an educational museum when I would be taking her to the zoo because I feel guilty she won't be having fun or other guilt reasons. I would get fired. It makes me rethink the family I work for and if I can trust her anymore. [/quote]

No, it is not one bit like that.  It is more like you saying that you can't pick up extra hours on a Saturday morning because you have another babysitting job when really you just want to get drunk Friday night and sleep in with your S/O.  It's an unnecessary white lie and does implicate your personal integrity and credibility, but what you do with your personal time is not your MB's business unless it interferes with your ability to properly do your primary job.  You have no duty of candor to the MB in that situation, just as the MB owes you no duty of candor with respect to her use of the time she spends away from her child (as long as you know how to reach her should the need arise).

On the other hand, you do owe your boss a duty of candor about how you spend your work hours.  Lying to your boss about where you have taken her child is a gross breach of trust and absolutely grounds for termination.  She is entitled to full disclosure about how you are spending the time for which she is paying you to work.[/quote]
