Add source While it's easy to judge parents for all of the wrongs they do when it comes to making their kids behave, it's once you become a parent yourself that you understand that there's a spectrum of what's actually wrong and what's still kinda sorta OK because otherwise you'd crack under the pressure of parenting. One of the many things that most parents resort to, though still with a certain degree of caution, is white lies, which are, if anything, cute and kind of a long-term investment that will end in laughs in the future. Image credits: Louisa Mac (not the actual photo)
A tweeter by the handle of @Lhlodder shared one such lie that her friend uses to make her kids buckle up for the car ride, saying that the car won't start unless they are all wearing seat belts.

Like, you'd get nightmares or just bad luck the next day. So this seemed perfectly rationally to me well into my adult years (I guess as much as any other superstition would) A couple of years ago I asked her where that superstition came from and she said, "oh, it was just to make you tidy up and put everything away before you went to bed." And it bloody worked.

All of these entries smack of sheer laziness on the part of the parent to do actual parenting. Parenting is two things: helping the animal you gave birth to to become a human being, and teaching that human being how to manage life without you. Lie to them, and they'll learn that lying is a valid tactic.

Once they figure out that you've been telling them "little white lies" just to shut them up (and they WILL figure it out!) then they're going to wonder what else you've lied about. 5 5points reply BAN CAPITAL LETTERS BAN CAPITAL LETTERS Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Most of these lies aren't bad, though. For example, the little kid who is visited by a bird at night if he sleeps in his bed; that just helps keep the child well-rested in bed.

Many of them are still too young listen to reason. Plus, I strongly doubt that he's going to cut off connections with his parents once he finds out that's untrue -- if he does, it means there are other serious relationship problems completely unrelated to the lie. The kid will most likely fondly look back on these memories when he's older.

Honesty is a very good policy, but within reason. 8 8points reply Memere Memere Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Yes, and if you want your kids to trust you & feel safe in confiding in you, they need to know that you are trustworthy. Once they figure out that you've been telling them "little white lies" just to shut them up (and they WILL figure it out!) then they're going to wonder what else you've lied about.

5 5points reply BAN CAPITAL LETTERS BAN CAPITAL LETTERS Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Most of these lies aren't bad, though. For example, the little kid who is visited by a bird at night if he sleeps in his bed; that just helps keep the child well-rested in bed.

How else is a parent supposed to keep a stubborn child in bed? Strapping them down? Many of them are still too young listen to reason.

Plus, I strongly doubt that he's going to cut off connections with his parents once he finds out that's untrue -- if he does, it means there are other serious relationship problems completely unrelated to the lie. The kid will most likely fondly look back on these memories when he's older. 5 5points reply Jessica DiSalvo Jessica DiSalvo Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago These are glimpses of random lives.

There is no such thing as "preparing for big lies." You don't have to lie to children to prepare them for the so-called "big lies," you can educate on the bad people that will lie to them. 1 1point reply Stephanie Keith Stephanie Keith Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Ima cat, I don't know why you're getting down voted for not only telling the truth but for advocating for people to tell the truth. I know we all definitely lied at one time or another in our lives.

It's definitely not good to lie in any case. I do understand why we do it sometimes, as innocent as it may seems. It just makes me wonder why people are okay with dishonesty at any time?

It's never a bad thing to stand up for what's right and to want to guide others in the best possible direction. It just sucks that it's not received well by others. Kind of interesting when you think about it.
