Stuff like McDonald's is closed today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lie-to-your-kids-to-get-them-to-behave#post-70626 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:28:50 +0000 mrs. wagon 70626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lie, bribe, blackmail...

Usually they know I'm joking, unless I tell the 4 year old "are you hitting/being naughty do I need to call the cops on you and pick up my phone?" and she thinks I'm serious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lie-to-your-kids-to-get-them-to-behave#post-70501 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:28:32 +0000 Modern Daisy 70501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have nothing against telling some white lies to get kids to behave! As long as it doesn't take away from their learning and development, I think Santa might threaten not to come all year if they don't do the things I'm telling them to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lie-to-your-kids-to-get-them-to-behave#post-70454 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:15:00 +0000 looch 70454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Knowing me, yes, I probably will. I used to tell my brother that he was dropped off by gypsies, that if he didn't behave the paddywagon would come to our house to get him and one that I used for a really long time after he dropped an F-bomb that he didn't know the meaning of, that I was going to tell on him for swearing if he didn't do XY or Z. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lie-to-your-kids-to-get-them-to-behave#post-70452 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:12:25 +0000 Mrsbells 70452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wont tell lies about bad things that might happen if they dont behave. There will be real consequences for misbehaving such as taking out treats etc so hopefully that will be enough </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lie-to-your-kids-to-get-them-to-behave#post-70438 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:53:14 +0000 BabyLove 70438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not something that I plan to do. But I can see myself, in a fit of frustration, saying something ridiculous in the hope that it might make her behave. My mother never really came up with creative lies like a witch living next door. But looking back, I realized she definitely fudged the truth to scare me into submission! Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lie-to-your-kids-to-get-them-to-behave#post-70435 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:49:51 +0000 heffalump 70435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't plan on it.... but I now know that you do what you have to do, and usually plans change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lie-to-your-kids-to-get-them-to-behave#post-70415 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:27:26 +0000 prettylizy 70415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no problem with a few little white lies, like "Oh, Elmo is going to sleep now" or "The park is closed today so we can't go"... but maybe I'm just going to be a mean mom! lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-lie-to-your-kids-to-get-them-to-behave#post-70414 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:24:15 +0000 Andrea 70414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wrote on another thread "What lies do you remember your parents telling you?" that my mom got me behave by saying a witch lived next door and would get me if I did anything bad. </p> <p>I don't think I would make anything that big up but I guess I wouldn't rule it out. :-D </p> <p>Do you plan on doing this? </p>
