Description:
We’ve all been there. You are in a store with your children, or maybe the person in front of you has their kids with them, when suddenly you hear the inevitable request for that toy or this chocolate bar. More often than not, the adult responds to their demanding little one with some sort of vague promise like, “maybe next time” or “we’ll see what mommy says.” In most cases this placates the demanding child. In more extreme instance you, and everyone around you, then has to endure a classic temper-tantrum involving crying, screaming and indiscernible babble as the child tries to demand the object through a fountain of tears and mucous.
As you stand there watching your (or someone else’s) child do their best Chernobyl melt-down impression in the store, it all makes perfectly clear sense why parents use an array of myths when they deal with their kids on a daily basis. For the most part, children are good but lack experience, knowledge and the ability to understand the bigger picture. This can make trying to explain and reason with your six year old as challenging as holding the attention of a squirrel – with ADHD. Explaining a concept, trying to enforce a rule or change a bad behaviour? It can sometimes be easier to do it with an explanation wrapped in a myth. Adults have often fallen back on the classic myths to keep their kids in line. In fact, some of these 10 favorite myths used by parents are so popular that a lot of grown adults continue to believe them to this day.

BIggest lie my parents told me: "we love you all equally". There's always a favorite no matter what family you come from when you have siblings.

When you're still waiting for your father to come back from the store after 19 years ;-;

my sister was told if she kissed a boy she would become pregnant, my parents never gave her the talk and to this day she has never kissed a boy.... she is 37

When I heard the "you'll go blind" part i thought it would be about masturbation.

My grandma said to my dad that when the Ice cream truck came and they played that song i meant they Were out of Ice cream

Actually, if kids were smart, they would notice that there wasnt a loud creak on the roof. A huge sleigh, 9 100 pound reindeer, and huge sack of toys? Yeah, that would be enough to cave the roof in. Also, they wouldnt hear bells ringing, floors and walls banging, and at the end a loud thump

When i was a kid my parents said if i watch to much T.V. my eyes will turn into a square.

my parents told me they loved me, silly how I believed such a crazy myth for all those years.

Here's a better idea.
Carrots: find a way to cook it or something to cook it with that will make it taste better.
Watermelon seeds: just don't even perpetuate any danger.
Gum: teach kids about choking hazards involved there (obviously worded in a kid friendly way, i.e. "It could get stuck in your throat and make it hard to breathe").
Wet hair: not sure why that even matters...
Waiting an hour: suggest that they clean up after themselves and possibly show them how, then ask something along the lines of "do you want to rest for a bit before you go back in?"
Permanent silly face: that's a simple task, just tell them that it's rude around adults. Kids can usually understand that.
Television: it might be helpful to set up a household routine to devote time to certain activities, so that they get used to only spending a limited amount of time doing things.

Gonna get grounded for making this video tho. What's the biggest lie your parents told you?

[avocados]

You should have put an age restriction. Kids watch this too. you crushed the Christmas spirit for all kids who believe in Santa.

[samrandazzo]

That thing about the face getting stuck is true. Look at Donald trump.

[juliezwyer]

My mom always told me she had eyeballs in the back of her head.

[pollyussher]

So Santa isn't real😢




I knew it!

[emmabryant]

My parents told me if I swallowed gum I would poop bubbles and float away, safe to say I didn't chew gum for a good six years afterwards.

[parisnr]

My mom said if I point at a graveyard that my fingers would rot off, I was never the same after that day😂

[amyscarfe]

My mom told me that when the ice cream truck played their song it meant that there was no ice cream left

[Peppermintee]

Ok so for everyone who's dreams were crushed for Christmas this is for you


"Santa" was based off an actual person who gave gifts to people in need so he technically is real however I think he was shot however he is practically a role model for giving and cherishing moments so 🙂 and enjoy your Christmas!




Ho ho ho! ☃


And since that snowman emoji doesn't fit for me since I live in there is the fitting one for you Australians

[YumiBow]

I was always told that my eyes would go square instead of blind.

[prod.ws]

thats a real good idea
