What’s the most unethical parenting hack you know?

If they lie to me, their tongue will turn purple.
The hesitation when you ask them to show you their tongue tells you if they’ve lied.
Hack ruined when my 3-year-old had them all sit in front of the mirror, tell lies, and check each other’s tongues.

My nephew refused to vacuum so I told him how vacuums can suck up ghosts. I said that vacuuming kept houses from getting haunted, that’s why haunted houses are so dusty. He then offered to vacuum very often.

If your toddler accidentally touches something hot you have to opportunity to tell him many things in the house are also hot and should be avoided.

When the batteries ran out or were "lost" on a particularly annoying toy, my mom would tell us, "Oh hun I'm so sorry! But they don't make those kinds of batteries anymore." We would be disappointed and move on making our own noises for the thing. Which was way more fun than the preset ones. Wasn't till I was much older (I won't say how old) that I realized batteries didn't change kinds like fashion brands.

My parents took advantage of my short-term memory. They’d give me a toy, wait until the new shine wore off and I favored others. They’d hide it and regift it and I’d be excited about it again.

If you want your toddler to do something they don't really want to do, then ask them a question where all possible answers involve them doing the thing. For example, when my kid was in the bathtub, they never wanted to get out when bath time was over. So I just ask, do you want to climb out yourself or do you want me to lift you out?

Actually, giving them a choice like the last one is a really smart move. I was always taught to do that, because it makes them feel like they have a choice and it was their decision not yours.

Last one would not have worked on me. I would have said i wanted to stay in the bathtub.
