Casey had an issue the other night, she forgot to put her bike away back into the shed. It may not sound like a huge deal and it isn’t really but we do try to teach the children to respect their possessions and to look after them, there is no need to be leaving bikes in the back garden when we have a good sized shed for that reason.
Cameron and her had been for a bike ride and she dumped it in the back yard and ran in for a drink, then her friend had called so she darted back off out the other door to play, totally forgetting about her bike.
Matt had told her the night before after leaving it out again that if it happened again she would be banned from using it for 1 night.
I had gone to bring the washing in from the line when I spotted her bike thrown on the ground, so I picked it up and put it in the shed for her.
Later that night she remembered about her bike and said “ Oh no I forgot to put it away”.
I told her I had already done it.
“Don’t tell Matt “ she asked. “I have promised to go on a bike ride tomorrow night with my friends”.
I promised not to tell. I didn’t see it really as a secret as such but should I be keeping secrets?
By keeping little secrets like this am I keeping things from my husband? To be honest I don’t see it as an issue at all and Matt will now know about the bike as he reads the blog – sorry Casey x
What do you think? Should you keep your kids secrets from your partner? Leave me a comment to let me know your views.
