You’ve heard of Slacker Moms, right? Well, this is going to be the title of my book – which will include all sorts of lies it is perfectly justifiable to tell your tots; from the tiny little white lies: “The truck that makes music sells broccoli.” to the whoppers: “Let’s put that on the list to tell Santa.”
Other lies that earn the “ok” stamp include those which manage to avoid sticky situations, such as: “Yes, you’re right, boys do pee through their belly buttons.” and “Don’t touch the little mouse, he’s sleeping.”
So, what other, “truth adjustments” do you deem acceptable in the call of sane parenting?
