moral thoughts

lying to your parents is worse than lying to a stranger

When you lie to your parents it may seem worse then when you lie to a stranger. However, lying is lying. No matter who you are lying to it is still morally wrong.  Whether you lie about something little or something big you are still doing something that is not right.  You may feel that if you lie to a stranger no one will ever find out but the truth does eventually come out one way or another.  It is always the best thing to tell the truth.  When you tell the truth you do not have to keep track of everything you say. 


when baby-sitting, I wouldn't hesitate to have friends over for a party

When you are baby-sitting it is your job to care for the child or children you are watching.  You are being paid to protect and watch a child and make sure they are safe while the parents are gone.  If you invite friends over for a party you are putting the child in harm by not being able to watch it at all times.  Plus, you usually are not even in your own household so it is also wrong to throw a party in someone else's home.  Babysitting sometimes can get boring but it is always important to put the child first and not think of yourself over the job you have.

  1. Kathryn I agree completely with this, especially the lying portion. :)You're so right on both of these counts, you're always responsible to tell the truth. It's never okay to endanger the child you're responsible for.
