Also, I don’t really care if we go outside today or not, but the neighbors are going to think we’re keeping you locked up. So we’re going to go out for 15 minutes and make a lot of noise so they all know we were there.

This is exactly how I parent 😂 The best part about it? My FIVE YEAR OLD will go “Mama, you’re not a bad mom, you’re the best.” 🥹

I’m at the point where I’m telling my teenager “I don’t really care, but I would like a nice daughter-in-law someday, so can you just do this so she knows I at least taught you something?”

Do you not do this? it's called honesty. you'll get way better response if you actually talk this way to your child. Father of 14 and 16 y.o.

This is how I parent. I save the "parenting" for the big stuff and let the little stuff go 90% of the time. They pay better attention to you if you're selective about what is important, otherwise it all becomes white noise.

Other parents: oh no sweetie. That show isn't on right now.
Me: I know you like that show but we have watched it too much and I can't stand watching another episode so pick something else.
It's simple. I have never understood the "white lies" parents tell their kids.

Most of my parenting decisions were based around what would other “good” parents do and what would the headlines be.

I don't really care if you eat junk all day during summer break except that then there's nothing left for me at my 9pm snack time.

This is obviously in reference to a younger child (teens don’t do “play dates” yall. I think some of these situations honesty is your best policy but things like the not wanting to take your kid to the play date cause your social batteries out is not something a 5 to 10 year-old is gonna understand.
