Parental fibs.?

Question

When I was a child, my mother used to tell me that if I did'nt eat the crusts on my toast, I would never have curly hair. She also used to say that watching too much TV would give me square eyes. what fibs were you told or have told your children.

Answer 1

My parents told me that watching to much tv would turn me into a vegetable.

Answer 2

I fib to my kids about nice things like Father Christmas and fairies (as they are 25 and 16, they think I'm a nutter - although they never turn down the sack full of pressies that Santa leaves and would be gutted if he didn't visit every Christmas). When I was a kid my Mum often went into a corner shop next to a builder's yard with a high fence. She always made a point of saying "That's the Naughty School and it's where you 2 will end up if you're not good". My sister and I truly believed her. One night when we were messing about and getting in and out of bed, she totally lost her rag and made us pack a case each. She then put our coats on us over our pyjamas and phoned a taxi to take us to the Naughty School. We were crying hysterically and apologising - absolutely beside ourselves. Luckily my dad came in at that point and put a stop to it. I've never forgotten that fib. Whenever she tried to talk to my own kids about the Naughty School, I always made a point of butting in and saying "Nanny's telling fibs - nobody is allowed to take children away from their mothers.". I suppose that last bit was a bit of a fib as Social Services are allowed to but I wanted my kids to have the security of knowing that I would always be there.

As a mother of 2 girls the lies u have told to them over the last 8 years have been great , everything from Santa to the tooth fairy and when they tell a fib(which is easy to tell when they have cause they blush) i look them in the eye and tell them that its wrong to lie, what kind of mother am i that has fed them a diet of lies daily for the last 8 years, i do wonder what the world would be like if we told the truth to our children??

Answer 4

When it was thunder and lightning my parents always told me that it was people up in heaven having a birthday party and that the thunder was everyone clapping and the lightning was the birthday candles,that way I was not afraid of it.
Whenever I was naughty my mum picked up the phone and pretended to talk to someone from the local mental home and tell them to pick me up in five minutes because I was misbehaving.I would then start doing as I was told and she would "phone" back the local nut house and tell them not to worry as I was being good.It worked all the time until one day I thought I wonder what its like in a mental home so I continued to misbehave and guess what...nobody turned up.

Carrots help you notice on the hours of darkness, if the wind adjustments my face will stay like that ( whilst pulling faces) Wiggling a loose the tooth will make next the tooth improve wonky - mine are all completely on the instant and that i wiggled all of mine.

Answer 6

Um, those weren't fibs since you have a fro and have you looked at your eyes lately? That isn't almond shape or even round you see looking back in the mirror.

Answer 7

told my kids that when the ice dream van comes round playing music that the music is to let everyone know that its run out of icecream....

toothfairy.....of course

goblins in garden.....even put some ketchup down to simulate goblin blood when he escaped from a trap the kids had made....

i teach them that there is a spiritual world living along side ours and that sometimes there are cross overs, living in a pagan country we have lots of ancient customs that coroborate what i say....

like rubbing an apple on your leg to make it shine before you bite into it....this allows the tree spirits time to get out before you hurt them (allegedly).

Answer 8

I've never lied to my children. They don't believe in Father Christmas, or anything like that.
I hated those scare stories people told their kids - "the boogie man is coming to get you!" or "if you don't get out the bath the bath mosnter will get you" etc.
It was my mission in life - and I told them was nothing scarier than me! True. To discipline them I used to smack them and apparently I am the evil one.

Answer 9

Just like to say to 'im an idiot' that Santa, or Father Christmas, IS real, for those who believe!

My mother once told me to stop fiddling with her pins - she was sitting at her sewing machine with her back to me at the time. I said how do you know i was, and she said she had eyes at the back of her head..... and i believed her!
