10 Lies We Tell Our Kids Because It’s Not Our Fault They Are Dummies
I’ve admitted before that I lie to my kids. Constantly. This has been met with comments from people like “ZOMG you are a HORRIBLE mom and your are SCARRING your kids for LYFE (Because the people who usually say this kinda stuff also aren’t so great at spelling) and they will grow up and hate you FOREVER.”
Yeah, yeah, whatever, I still lie to my kids, and if they grow up and one day discover that I haven’t been telling them the truth about every single thing on this list and they hate me forever for it… OH WELL.
Listen, I can’t help it that kids are dumb. They just are. They are born that way! One of the awesome things about being a kid is that you are dumb, and that the adult humans in your life on occasion lie to you, and that one day you will grow up and have your own kids you can lie to. Circle of life, people!

They Aren’t Open Today
So many parents have also admitted to this one. From places like Chuck E. Cheese to toy stores to parks that are just too far away. our kids favorite places keep very specific opening hours and sometimes just magically go out of business for no reason.

I do like when my kids bring home crafts they have made at school, but I don’t like them quite as much as I lead them to believe. I just can’t get super jacked over the 13th macaroni soup can pencil holder I own.
Of Course I Missed You!
Of course I miss my kids when they are at school or at a sleepover or playdate, but come on! I am too busy enjoying taking a bath without interruptions or enjoying the peace and quiet to really miss them. It’s not like that three hours they were gone is the same as them running off to join the Peace Corps for a few years.
