Earnest Parenting: 2 Ways to Tease Your Children

  • Derek · 1 year ago
    Lol, games with the kids are always fun. Our oldest has a habit of asking ridiculous questions that we could never know the answer to. We'll usually flip the table on him and start asking him goofy questions until everyone is laughing.

    Hi Derek, great strategy! How old is your oldest again?

    I've long wanted to master the art of double-speak just to bug the children. Sadly, I have no clue. Hubby is pretty good at confusing them when he wants to. Usually he does it to distract if a boy asks for something and Hubby doesn't feel like saying no. He'll just talk in circles until the child has forgotten what he asked for, at which point Hubby nods cheerfully, says "Love you, Buddy" and sails off into the sunset.

    Our oldest is 9 right now, turns 10 in October. The funny thing is that even his younger brother, who will be 7 in a few weeks, gets in on the fun.

    Is it sad that I use the neverending dinner conversation on my girlfriend? I mean she figures it out much quicker, but it is always good for a nice chuckle.

    By the way, this is my first time here and I love the superhero caricatures. Very creative.

    :) Glad you liked it, Watch Anime Online.

    Webkinz, as long as your girlfriend doesn't mind it I guess you're okay. Thanks for the compliment on the caricatures! I love them too.

    My fiances 9 year old son has recently come to live with us and I seem to get the same question at dinner time. Lol.

    Another one I like is when we get in the car and he asks where we are going. I usually tell him "There and back to see how far it is!"

    Kel, I like your style! LOL. I have used the "just to make you ask us about it" answer to Why questions before.

    It's hard to resist sometimes, I remember after buying our dog some special dog chocolates i told our kids the dog gets chocolate, and you dont because it knows how to behave. I learnt my lesson when to my horror later that day i caught them all eating the dogs chocolates.

    Pinoy that's hilarious! I didn't see that one coming, lol.
