This is what the passive income 1% crowd tell the rest of us.
-
Sure, I fantasize about doing this sort of shit with my kid sometimes too.
But you don't do it.
-
What, are you saying that gaslighting your young child to do stuff they hate is harmful?
-
I can't speak for other kids, but being honest with mine seems to work pretty well. "Why do I have to put away the dishes?" "Because if you don't, we won't be able to wash the dirty ones and then we'll get roaches. Do you want roaches? No. So put away the dishes."
-
I'm not sure if the term "gaslighting" fits here. This just seems like run of the mill lying and manipulating.
Victims of gaslighting are deliberately and systematically fed false information that leads them to question what they know to be true, often about themselves. They may end up doubting their memory, their perception, and even their sanity.
Gaslighting would seem like it'd be more that if they knew weekends were a thing befohand then you'd lie that they imagined it all (and that they might even be crazy for having thought that).

Lmao I like to use buzzwords too even when they don't fit the situation.

How to be a shitty parent 101 and Wonder why your kid completely cuts you out of there life ASAP.
-
This works until a Friday when the teacher says “see you on Monday” to the kids
-
Or on a Monday where the kid asks another student what the teacher said yesterday.
-
-
They'll regret that.
-
doing this is going to make your children hate you when they grow up, have fun with that. you deserve it for being a shit parent
-
I genuinely think shit like this is what promotes antisocial behavior in children. As in clinically antisocial, not just a synonym for introverted.
Children learn hundreds of new words and new things every week. That’s their entire purpose in life at that age.
Deliberately lying to them about how basic reality works for extended periods of time is likely what causes the neural short circuits of religion and conservatism.

Yeah. I honestly think it's also a fuckup to treat children totally differently from adults. Probably around age 7 they start noticing it and a lot of people resent that treatment.
-
-
That's going to backfire one day.
RIP child's trust.
-
Not to mention, I mean…other kids talk about how they don’t go to school on those days? Now, yes, I am a super sleuth and a genius, but I’m starting to get the inkling that there’s some fishy, dubious lies going on here.
-
When younger, my parents made me believe in Santa Claus. Most other kids were believing in it too, and I was getting more Christmas present. So it was cool and fair, even if not true.
But here, the person is lying to his kid to get away with something. Not cool.
-
What age are kids in 'pre-k'? I'm imagining like 3-4 years old? I wouldn't be surprised at that working with some kids that age. Not saying I think the story is true necessarily, but just that young kids are very trusting, don't always put together information they get in different settings, and don't really discuss weekend plans with each other much.
-
Why should someone on the Internet lie? nobody does this. /s

Idk how to tell you but there are people in here that think this is a good idea. If it is all sarcasm then thank god, but i doubt it is, since they are arguing it.
-

I guess for some people the dumber you are the more impressed you are with your own ability to fool a child. Probably because that's the last stage of their child's life where they can still pretend to be smarter....
-
Maybe this is fun now. It won't be later tho
-
There is always sunday school.
-
No one: Me telling my kid there is sunday school:
-
-
If there was a university course in short term deception you should teach it. I don't care if it's hypothetical, the idea is still brilliant.
-
Im pretty sure someone tried. And if they are unlucky enough your kid might even ignore input from other classmates telling him that this is bullshit for longer than a few years. Because your parents wouldnt be wrong, right?

I can't imagine there's never a scenario where the teacher says "See you Monday," on a Friday. I think this is fiction.

That's good parenting!

That's all fine and dandy until they misbehave and you can't follow through by sending them to school on the weekend.
This is just one of the many examples of why parents today have grown so soft and refuse to give any true punishment to their children. Back in ye good old days when I was a wee lad I went to school 12 hours straight no breaks or anything and if I didn't my dad broke a metal chair over my rear end. Then all the sudden the democrats took over and things suddenly got worse. Overall I think people should definitely toughen up and parent their kids more effectively if they want to defeat crooked B*den and make America great again.
Haha, very funny. I almost believed you were serious!
You can't convince me this isn't an actual tweet
Hey guys! New copypasta just dropped!!
This almost feels like a shittymorph
Next you will tell us that the hill was up-school both ways.
This kid will start pushing this boundary in like 3 weeks (like every kid pushes every damn boundary all the time) and then OP will have a problem on their hands, when the kid decides that OP is toothless.
Sure, it's called Boarding School.
You could try to make up some other shit to cover for it, how school told them that the kid needs to do chores at home for those two days or something. With their system it'd make sense to have a plan for this situation.
Or you just enjoy it while it lasts and drop it when it fails
At some point the kid will talk to other kids and find out they don't attend school on weekends either. Unless they hate school that much that they don't socialize with other kids which would be worrying as well
I totally could send them to school on the weekend.
Saturday is when the schools around here typically have detention. I'll just email the school and have the kid go to detention. Then on Sunday: Sunday school at a church.
follow through lies are always the solution 👍
