And I don't mean things like Santa Clause, The Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, etc. I mean things other then that. Like, you say "Yes, I do trust you enough for you to walk to school." But when they ask if they can walk to school that *same* morning you say "No, because I don't trust you." In a way, I feel like you just lied to your child. But why did you do that?
The first paragraph was an example because something similar happened to me...
My granny said that she would start walking me home. Then on the first day of school she lost the keys to her car. Turns out, when I got to school and opened by backpack, her keys where in my backpack.
*And before anyone jumps down *my* throat, I didn't put them there...They got there when she put my belt in my bag after I asked her not to...*
But now back to the question... I asked her if she was still going to walk me home after school and basically I think that she said that she wasn't. She said that all of that changed when she lost her keys. In a way, I feel like she lied to me... For once I thought that what I liked actually mattered for her or for anyone in the house I live in for that matter, turns out it probably didn't. This time I think was just the last straw... for once I actually talked to her about what I did like, apparently she doesn't care after about 3 days. All respect and trust for her is just gone... Shes lied to me, and judged me too many times and has also confused me just too many times and I cannot handle the stress of all of that anymore. If she wants to think that I hate her then she can I don't care anymore...
So parents do you lie to your kids like my granny lies to me? If so, why? And if you don't, why not?
