I have a problem with it, the biggest thing for me is teaching a child that it's okay to lie. A child's not able to discern the right/wrong times for lying (if there are any wrong times). I would have preferred to pay the full price then argue the price in writing later - so that the child was completely out of "my" dispute with the company.]]> Mon, 28 Jan 2008 21:55:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13967&PID=288668&title=is-it-wrong#288668 <![CDATA[Is it wrong? : I don&#039;t feel bad I did think...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13967&PID=288531&title=is-it-wrong#288531 Author: caliandjack

I don't feel bad I did think $10 for her was a bit much as she is small and can't go on half the rides and activities.
Whatever happened to children being half adults prices?!

I'm pretty certain I'll be claiming Paige as 11 for as long as I can, a 12 year old is not an adult. ]]> Mon, 28 Jan 2008 19:48:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13967&PID=288531&title=is-it-wrong#288531 <![CDATA[Is it wrong? : lol i remember tellin the cashier...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13967&PID=288524&title=is-it-wrong#288524 Author: Candkids

Yeah seeeee parents do it all the time! LMAO and really theres nothing we can do about it, Cant argue with the parent its just easiest to say ok whatever.

I dont think its classed as theft at all, you are still paying, just a bit cheaper, so IMO, who cares

And OMG ive seen some kidas do that before Maya! The mother will say "One 3 years old please" and the kids is like 'Noo MUM im 4!" and the parent would go red, and say No your 3 lol, kids dont lie

I once told my nephew they didn't let five year olds into the pools so if anyone asked he had to say he was four or they would tell him to leave. When he told SIL she laid a huge guilt trip on me, then I found out she'd been out with him one day and shoplifted for the thrill of it and to see if she'd get caught. Luckily she is now ex-SIL.

I've lied about kids ages one year either side but two is pushing it. I lie about my age all the time though. ]]> Sun, 27 Jan 2008 22:29:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13967&PID=287973&title=is-it-wrong#287973 <![CDATA[Is it wrong? : My mum used to do it to me all...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13967&PID=287927&title=is-it-wrong#287927 Author: kiwigal

And I dont always believe in telling the truth ,it depends on the situation , If Caitlyn asks me when shes older if her dad was happy when i said I was pregnant, I WILL lie and say yes, im not going to tell her he told me I had to have an abortion , over and over again - what good would the truth do then ? ruin the good relationship they have now? damage her self esteem?

And sometimes it is, deciding which is the situation for the truth is often the difficult part ]]> Sun, 27 Jan 2008 19:00:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13967&PID=287722&title=is-it-wrong#287722 <![CDATA[Is it wrong? : I have told them at the Zoo that...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13967&PID=287720&title=is-it-wrong#287720 Author: caitlynsmygirl

I have told them at the Zoo that Caitlyn is 3 when she was just four .(as in 4 days before)
There are worse things that i could be doing, so im sorry if people dont agree but Im not losing any sleep over it, Ive paid the full price each time since then, so ive more than made up for it .

And prices for things these days , especially the movies, is ridiculous, no wonder there is so much downloading going on , which is theft too i guess ]]> Sun, 27 Jan 2008 18:57:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13967&PID=287720&title=is-it-wrong#287720 <![CDATA[Is it wrong? : The fact that you&#039;re asking...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13967&PID=287700&title=is-it-wrong#287700 Author: ItchyFeet
