How honest should parents be?

It's not something I can do by myself, though. So if something upsets you, like what I just revealed to you, please tell me so I can take it into consideration the next time I talk to you.

Sweetie, nothing you say about my age is going to offend me. I've got decades of being a better bitch than you, so give it your best shot.
Experience hasn't got anything to do with difference in brain power. You might've had 10.000 years at it, for all I care. It's obvious I would wipe the floor with you if I really wanted to be mean to you. But I don't. I'm not after that. I'm only mean to people when I want them to realise something they wouldn't otherwise. Kind of like parenting, you know? Guess I know a little something about it after all, kids.


I'm sorry, sweetie, I thought you just wanted me to take a crack at it. Are you upset? No, my sperm didn't make you.

Did I get my point across just fine?

Seriously though, if this is hurting your feelings at all, please tell me.

So, you think the fine folks of this forum owe you something? No one here owes you any niceties. Especially after the way you have conducted yourself. I can't help but wonder if DFM was a sock puppet of yours.
While you clearly, to your credit, aren't making death threats to people, your attempt at apologetics are similar to his. I didn't fall for his nonsense. I won't deal with insincerity in anyone else.

You know, for what it's worth, I have tried giving you a second chance before. See how well that worked? You're nice as long as you're getting your way or people are agreeing with you. But the moment there is a differing of opinion or you acquire foot in mouth disease, everything gets tossed out the window. You have burned many bridges here.

I suppose you could be a decent person in these forums. I just don't see it happening because you derail every thread you touch. A decent person doesn't do that. 20+ pages of the focus being on you, in this thread. There are dozens of other threads where you have successfully managed to get all the attention put on yourself too. Old habits die hard and I don't see any future signs of improvement for you in this area.

You're narcissistic. I don't trust people like you. I have a few of those kinds of nuts in my family that I have to deal with. And my ex. I certainly don't have to deal with one on a forum. And neither should anyone else. We don't come here to get strawmanned by some punk kid who thinks he knows it all. There is a code of conduct that not only applies to real life, but to any situation where you are interacting with others. Have some decency and respect for not only yourself, but for those you wish to talk to. If you want to be treated like an adult, You'd be wise to learn it.

That's what you come back with? Surely you could have done better. Please do try harder. Perhaps in your pathetic poll, is where we should resume your piss poor third grade attempts at hurting my feelings.

This shit was laughable.

My parents were brutally honest with me. Not a day goes by that I don't thank them for making it clear to me that I was stupid and butt ugly.

RE: How honest should parents be?
Everyone here has basically hit it on the head. Parents should always be honest with their children. Children come to you with sincere, honest questions and they deserve sincere, honest answers. Responses should be short and age appropriate. Let them continue asking questions until they have no more, but stop what you are doing, sit down, look them in the eyes and let them know you are listening, understand them and will do your best to answer.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
