How honest should parents be?

[Excited Penguin]

If one in 6 billion people died of a certain cause every 2 centuries, would you then take statistics into consideration or would you devote all resources towards preventing that one death because of how discrete the nature of life is? Your reasoning is faulty and my argument stands as it is. You fail to comprehend the whole point of consulting statistics in order to inform your actions in life. One doesn't necessarily have to and it varies from case to case how much importance you should give to them, but you shouldn't dismiss them altogether either.

Would you terrify millions of kids without even knowing if it works just because of bad parenting? You should keep an eye on your kid all on your own, not make him do it for you if he's not old enough to and is residing in a dangerous environment, like a crowded place in public.


I don't like to get into arguments of this sort because you're clearly smart enough to have got my point and yet decidedly chose to attack me because of peer pressure, thus your inevitably faulty reasoning and borderline strawmanning. You'll surely continue to do it, no matter how much sense I make, because you're not sincere about your motives here.

When it's your own fucking child you take every possible risk into consideration because you don't want to imagine trying to live with yourself when your child becomes one of the few who are abducted because you didn't take the time to teach them that going out alone is dangerous.

Now we get to the root of the problem. If you devoted half the time you do on processing feelings to thinking you would be in a far better position to handle the risks involved in raising a child.
