What are some of the things as a parent you told yourself and learned later, that was a lie?
- Me: I’ll never lie to my child…Also me: “Yes, that’s how the cookie came out of the package, yes it looks like someone took a bite, so weird”
- “The great lies parents tell themselves is that a kid will sleep in after a night of disruptive sleep”
- Which is the bigger lie parents tell themselves?
- “Only one big gift for Christmas this year”
- “End of summer I’m gonna make them go to bed earlier to prepare for school”
- “I will never make different meals for my kids or pander them and their whimsical ways”
- “I thought bedtime was supposed to get easier not worse as your kids get older”
- “Once the kids are out of diapers I will have time and money”
- “Family putt-putt will be a fun, bonding experience”
- “Kids don’t need a lot of stuff, you’ll still be able to pack lightly”
- “We’ll get two so that they won’t fight”
- Making plans with friends “When things slow down” and knowing you both mean in 3-5 years, not tomorrow
