But one time my dad got sick of my brother and I leaving our bikes in the front yard overnight, so he hid them and let us think they had been stolen for a bit. After revealing the truth he asked if we had learned our lesson. Um, if the lesson is not to trust you, then yeah, totally! lol jedeve on "Did your parents ever try to replace something without telling you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-replace-something#post-1449984 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 00:39:18 +0000 jedeve 1449984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No but my mom would tell me about things really poorly/dramatically. She told me once when I got home from school that we lost a member of the family. I thought she meant my grandmother. Nope, my cat. Another time she called and asked what the worst news she could tell me was that would make me angry. I said that she and dad weren't coming to my wedding. She said, "really?? Not like, 'you're getting a divorce?'" I said "what??" She said, "no, I just wanted to let you know we got rid of your childhood piano and I was worried you'd be angry."

My parents searched high and low for a replacement/duplicate. They found one and my mom told me she washed it. I never doubted her, but she told me years and years later. owlteach on "Did your parents ever try to replace something without telling you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-replace-something#post-1449867 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 22:36:37 +0000 owlteach 1449867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not that I know of...that must have meant they were pretty sneaky ;) However, my grandma lived with us, she's now 93. She once told me that the "Indians" came in the night and stole my bike, when in reality she ran it over. Of course, I believed her. (Please don't flame the lady for her horrible terminology, she was born in 1920, and is usually pretty good about choosing the right words, especially for her generation). autumnlove on "Did your parents ever try to replace something without telling you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-replace-something#post-1449855 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 22:24:02 +0000 autumnlove 1449855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Champagne: haha, that is funny! mlm2934 on "Did your parents ever try to replace something without telling you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-replace-something#post-1449828 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 22:07:47 +0000 mlm2934 1449828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I remember an outdoor cat "disappeared", and years later my mom confessed my dad ran it over, but normal no they didn't cover things up. we had a lot of dogs die over the years (outdoor pets in country) and they never lied about those, so I'm not sure why they did with the cat! lol ETA: lol I totally didn't answer your question right since you asked about REPLACING! oops Mrs. Champagne on "Did your parents ever try to replace something without telling you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-replace-something#post-1449736 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 21:11:50 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1449736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Omg not that I know of! Haha My grandma replaced my cousins very ailing fishing with a very living bright coloured one. She told my cousin she dumped in some of my grandpas medicine and it fixed the fish. She believed her too!

They bought two and switched them out all the time, then threw one out entirely after a puke-fest one day. I never noticed.

Not in secret anyway. They never even fudged anything when I had a pet die. My mom was always pretty straight with us. autumnlove on "Did your parents ever try to replace something without telling you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-replace-something#post-1449709 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 20:55:32 +0000 autumnlove 1449709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Your toy, pet, etc. Did you figure it out? :-)
