Who determines what a "must lie situation" is? Isn't that kind of relevant to the parents?
As for "lying" to kids, surely I don't see any harm in telling my kids about Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny. In retrospect, I would have been severely disappointed if my parents told me the truth about this and I couldn't get to experience it.
I have no issue lying to protect my kids from CERTAIN things.
I have a friend who is always saying he won't lie to his kids about Santa or the Easter Bunny because it's just wrong to lie to your kids and he doesn't want his kids to distrust him. Plus Christmas is just a holiday that has been taken over by evil businesses wanting your money. I always end up feeling sorry for his future kids after hearing this it sounds like he wants them to be grown up before they even experience being a kid. I try to explain to him that all you're doing it robbing your kids of an experience because of your personal opinion. Kids don't give a flying crap about your protest they just want to have a good Christmas.
