I'm not a believer in hiding things from my kids because ultimately they are going to have questions - they feel things.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I was a child, I did always feel that people were hiding things, and that they weren't expressing their true feelings. When adults are too complicated, and cover their emotions with layers of well-intentioned subterfuge, the child isn't seeing reality clearly enough and gets upset.
I don't like people who hide things.
I always tell my kids that as soon as you have a secret, something about you that you are ashamed to have others find out, you have given other people the power to hurt you by exposing you.
If you are going to try and hide something, sooner or later people are going to find out.
Where it gets clear for me about the privacy issue is with my kids because they didn't choose this kind of life. I'm an incredibly open person, though - I'll tell anyone anything.
If I had kids, I'd probably be way over-protective, researching everything they begged to see to make sure the content was appropriate.
I don't want to hide anything - there is nothing to hide.
I don't mind talking about my two daughters, but I don't feel comfortable denying them their privacy.
I'm not a kid. You don't get in this business for anonymity. It's not like I have posters of myself on the wall, but at the same time, I'm kind of ready for a little bit of it, but I worry for my little one, and my family - their privacy. That's what I'm more protective of.
I don't want to shield kids from reality.
