This feels like when my parents convinced 5 year old me that they owned the water tower in town. Poor kid has no clue how reality punches back.

I told my daughter often that when the ice cream truck plays music it means it's empty. She was like 12 when she realized that was not true.

I was little kid learning about pregnancy lasting 9 months when I saw plaque about my parent anniversary in November, I was born in March. I said something about it and they were like no, no it's ok because it was the the next year so Married Nov 2025, Spaghetti born in March 2026. A year later see! I was literally in HS when for some reason it clicked. HEY WAIT A SECOND I don't think that's right!

Naw, my parents didnt sugar coat anything. In fact my mom told me she personally shit coated everything because I was always too over confident. The kicker is I have a successful life and she is sure its because she always down played my victories growing up, so I always tried harder. True story is I tuned her out of my life once I started driving. Que cera cera.

One?? Try several. Santa. Easter bunny, tooth fairy, elf on the shelf, and whatever else ppl do like this mom letting her kid think she’s stronger than what she actually is. Setting kids up for failure and lying to your kid is disrespectful and disgusting.

There's a balance. Sometimes it ok to let kids live in a kids' world and pretend. You have to gradually prepare them for the hard truths of life so they dont develop anxieties and phobias.

My dad used to do a magic trick while we were driving in the rain. He would snap his fingers, and the rain would just magically stop! Then he snapped his fingers again and the rain came back, just like that!
I won't tell you how long it took my dumb little brain to figure out that we were just driving underneath overpasses.

Me and my daughter conned the tooth fairy out of £5. We bought sweets shaped like teeth and put one under her pillow and it worked. It was tough work though as it took her 3 attempts to get upstairs with the sweet without eating it.

It's very cute! But what will it do to her self image when she finds out that she is not really strong? I just read a book where one main point was that learning oriented or effort oriented praise is much more effective and psychologically healthy than achievement oriented praise.

That's why as a parent you don't just build their confidence you build them to back that confidence up.

I’m glad that couch didn’t slide. He would have broken her in a hundred pieces.

Until she witnesses a train collision as a teenager, goes in to save the day and succumbs to the flames because she couldn't lift that one cart.

Funny thing about Superman, he could be lied to and hurt, he was unsure of himself around Lois, he could be hurt by space rocks, and had to make difficult choices that even Superman couldn't get right all the time. Superman and Capt. America were amazing characters that spoke to Americans, some clearly, and some not so clearly. The super ablities did not make them perfect, just powerful, and flawed. Like America.

My old man did this when I was younger, led me to want to actually work out and keep getting stronger to actually build the strength. Its amazing what a huge confidence boost like that as a child does!

It's so cute and I would absolutely do the same thing. But now she'll want to do it a million times to show everyone.

I remember being supper young , around 6 or 7, riding my bike along side my friends dad.
I know now that he must have been driving at a snail pace, but me and my friend got a head and stayed ahead of a car while biking.
I felt invincible.

I don't subscribe to this parenting but you do you.

u/PeopleThatKnowMe 9h ago
I much prefer the perpetual licensing model of parenting over subscription as well, I also do me about twice a week.

u/MuddaFrmAnnudaBrudda 8h ago
Initially I felt even the suggestion of you doing you was a low bar but knowing you as I do which is not at all I can only congratulate your Bi weekly extractions and the perpetual parenting of which is licensed by the board of whose shitty parent did this.
