Ahh.. tattling.. the memories.. haha
We had a 5 year old, a 2 year old and a 1 year old as foster placements. Our 5 year old would tell her case manager, teacher and anyone else who would listen, that we didn't feed her. She would even yell at me and say, "You never let me eat
anything!"
She ate breakfast every day at home, then at school, then ate lunch at school, an after school snack at school, an after school snack at home and dinner at home. It was sad really, since she had been neglected in her previous home, and was obviously trying to get extra food to make sure she wouldn't go hungry.
But long story short, I think most adults can distinguish between tattling and truth when it comes to kids. It's just something they do. You're not an evil parent, really.
