Oof, this is definitely a:
Sort of thing. It's not going to be fun when your child understands that there is no school on weekends, you'll lose a lot of trust overnight with this.
Every kid survived the Santa lie.
The difference is none of this kid's peers will have a similar experience
"I did not lie to you, we just all as parents agreeded to make the same offering to our children".
(it's not even half lying; setting agreements as adults is what bulding a society is about)
It doesn't matter whether it's a "lie", you're still manipulating a child.
And it’s a fucking lie, too
Its lying. I mean i dont judge. If you want to teach your kid how to lie your way out of developing any spine, i dont wanna stop you. Not telling the whole truth can even be interpreted as lying.
It's not a lie, you can always fill weekends with home school.
A lot of my coworkers actually do take their kids to a separate school on weekends. One of my coworkers said his parents did this to him and he hated it lol but he is really smart now though so 乁( •_• )ㄏ
I did after school tutoring on weekends, it's not the worst thing that ever happened to me.
Good, kids need to stop believing every bullshit they hear. Critical thinking is in short supply these days.
It's a parent's job to be someone their kid can trust.
The kid will survive. Stop being so irrational about a thing the kid won't even remember 2 years later.
Santa isn't real, vast majority of kids have survived this misinformation.
It will be pretty obvious that you did this out of self interest. If you wanna teach your kid to lie themselves out of putting any effort, this is the way to do it. Its the only conclusion for your child that critical thinking will bring. No one will trust your kid to do any work, this means it will have to fend for itself. There will definitely corrective info from classmates, teachers, but by that time the damage is already done, and the only lesson that remains will be that your dad/mom is a terrible human beeing.
We're talking about a 4 years old.
Stop projecting your unmedicated paranoia to 4 years old
What will happen is that they'll figure it out, be mad for about 5 hours, and then have Dino nuggies for dinner and won't remember any of it.
Kids are dumb.
well if you dont even manage to keep this stunt covered for a year then maybe you are just stupid for trying in the first place.
Mate it's a small white lie to a 4 year old kid. It doesn't matter if it's uncovered in a year or less. Stop being so fucking dramatic and take your meds.
no thats the point. I genuinely think you might be unlucky enough that this lie stays with the kid for too long. might even reject other classmates attempts at clearing it out because your kid trusts you. Also critical thinking involves dividing facts from fiction, and you dont teach this by telling fiction. If thats a white lie i dont wanna see your actual lies.
Haha, it's also something you have to learn, to be fair. You can't just throw them to the logic wolves like a logic Spartan.
