No, not the '80s coming of age film.
Contemplating my childhood recently, I remembered how commonplace it was for my parents to tell me porkies.
My mother managed to hide the fact that she smoked from me (well, everyone actually) for in excess of 20 years.
I returned home one day to find our dog, Duke, gone. I was told that he'd gone to a "rest home for dogs" and that I'd be able to go and see him one weekend. I remember pestering for months, but it never happened.
Years later I found out that Duke had died- and I'd been playing on top of his grave ever since. They're just the tip of the iceberg.
What effect do you think it has if parents lie to their kids? Poor Missy has been left using imaginary words! :shock:
Did yours lie to you? Did it affect the level of trust you have in others?
Fortunately for me, it only made me mistrust my mother. She's a prolific lier. However, when she's lying, she starts to yawn- so it's pretty apparant :lol2:
When I started typing- I had a clear idea of where I was going with it. Now, I don't have a clue.
So I'll shut up, and leave you to it! :thumbup:

One day my daughter will be old enough to accept the fact that my ex is an alcoholic should not be taken seriously.
She will also sense every ounce of bitterness when shes old enough, take care it doesent bite you on the bum!

Master of Sex
sometimes with kids it has to be on a need to know basis. parents have to decide. even santa is a comes later,the timing depends on the parents ability to judge the maturity of their kids
White lies like santa tooth fairy easter bunny etc then yes!
My daughter firmly believes that when the pet bunny died he was collected by the black rabbit and has gone to play with all the other bunnies from watership down! - well it was favourite film at the time!
Serious lies that will/could affect them for the rest of their lives? no... although i will hide the whole truth until they ask/are old enough to know.
When my little girl at the ripe old age of 3 wanted to know where babies came from :shock: I went out and bought some books! My favourite being "where willy went - the story of a little sperm". Its a lovely story and very very funny (from an adults point of view), that skims lightly over the sex part but explains everything in as much details as i think she "needs" to know yet! However if she asks me exactly how the baby gets in there then i will tell her! i certainly wont lie!
When me and ex split up, we explained things in a way she could understand (as much as any young child can understand their parents seperating), and yes i have hidden the full truth from her, again until she is of an age she can understand or until she asks, i will never lie to her. I've also taken stepts to try and help avoid the angry teenager blaming mummy thing.
The most important thing to me was that she still felt loved and that she was still part of a family, so i've spent alot of time explaining that families come in all shapes and sizes. That mummy and daddy love her no matter where they are and no matter where she is etc etc etc. I cannot bear to see people who use children as weapons/spies. A very good friend of mind has also recently seperated and her 2 year old daughter comes out with the most horrid obscenities about her dad, this i know will come back to bite her.
God i'm waffling now! time to shut up i think, like missy i knew where i was going when i started to type but ive lost me way a bit!

Bloody hell, how pissed were you Missy?
Parental lies tend to be to spare their children heartache at that time, ie., dogs dying, santa's not real, easter bunny that type of thing. These are white lies and in my view are perfectly acceptable.
Big big lies parents can tell that could muck up a child whole life and leave them with self esteem issues are a no-no, believe me I know
Never mind it all comes out in the wash and a lier is always caught out at some point x

Its not a scotch egg, its a round sausage thats yellow sausage in the middle.
Daughter picked her nose at the age of 3, I told her about the bogie monster that covers ya whole bedroom. Never found bogies on her wardrobe ever again.
On giving me a kiss, she could smell chocolate on me and I said it was chocolate toothpaste.
The list goes on and on.
I must be a bad mother to tell such horror stories
dee
child is now 11 and smarter than me :cry:

During the split from my ex-missus my ex made up all sorts of lies about me to the kids to explain that she was fucking another guy. As a result my eldest took those lies to another level when she had a bust up with her mum and ended up getting kicked out on the street by my ex.
But to cut a long story short now that both the kids are older, without my help incidentally, they've now started to see the truth for themselves and as a result my ex is reaping the benefits in the form of her now having extremely strained relations with the kids and her boyfriend is pretty much persona non grata to them.
On the brighter side though for years I successfully teased the kids with a harmless lie about how the kebab meat on the spit is actually an elephant's leg :twisted:

I was brought up abroad and where we lived there was a dry cleaning van that played the same tune as ice cream vans do here. Whenever we were in the UK and heard an ice cream van my parents would tell me that it was the dry cleaning van How many ice creams must I have missed out on as a child!
I was also told that my pet rabbit had escaped and was happy with the other bunnies........I've since found out that in actual fact the fox got him :(

Our son at the grand old age of 4 decided he wanted to become a vegitarian thanx to my sister.
We told him that he could eat sausages cos they came from the chip shop so were made of potatoe and macdonalds were fine cos they dont ever use real meat in their burgers lol, and he believed us
i know we are rotten parents for not agreeing fullly with his choices but at that age you need a varied diet. well we believe you do.
Anyway now age 11 he still dislikes meat and hates us about the sausage lie, but does agree with the macdonalds one so still has a happy meal as a special treat.
And YES we do cater for his needs now lol.
Told other white fibs but this is the best one pmsl.

I`m always telling my daughter that her mum is a nice person and that all the crappy stuff she says is just cos she`s a bit upset !!
One day my daughter will be old enough to accept the fact that my ex is an alcoholic should not be taken seriously.
I`ll be the lying bastard that left her in that horrible situation !!
Tell that to the judge !!
theres a diffarence between lying to you children and pretecting them and as parents we do protect our kids, my dad was a alcohlic and we was taken into care and re home with my gran parents because of this, we was told the truth about why we was taken from home and as a child its hard to understand why you dad would choose drink over you, so having been thro that situation myself as a child i think some lies are needed.

I had my son convinced that not only did I have eyes n the back of my head, I could also see through walls.
He'd wander nonchalantly into the kitchen and after a few moments would hear me shout "put that biscuit back and close the biscuit tin".
Took him years to realise I could HEAR what he was doing.
:D:D:D:D:D:D
That sort of lie makes home-life work better.
We don't want to lie about important things, but what do you do when Grandma won't have anyhing to do with the child because it is illegitimate/the wrong colour/on benefits whatever offends the old-dear?

I guess I was really lucky with my mum, we were always really close, and she told me a couple of white lies.. re ice cream again!! but she always apart from the ice cream told me the truth.
When my dad went off with another woman, I was old enough to understand what was happening, and saw more than my father realised. My mum never stopped us from seeing him, and let me, my brother and sister make up our own minds about him.. Never slagged him off at all.
She died suddenly of a heart attack ten years ago, and I still miss her now x
I would give anything to have her back - but I am glad I told her that I loved her the night before she passed.. even if we fell out -usually over something daft.. I always phoned or saw her and told her I loved her..
Hugs to all those that are going through rough times
((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))
