40 Parents Share How They Tried Teaching Their Kids Life Lessons, But It Didn't Go As Planned When I was about 2 years old my family was at a game in Angel's stadium. My mother went to the restroom and left me and my siblings with my dad. While he was busy watching I wandered off. When they eventually found me I was halfway around the stadium. A crowd had gathered to watch as a police officer held me out at arm's length while I screamed "call the police, this man is not my daddy" over and over again. My parents had taught me stranger danger but forgot to teach me what police look like.

A woman tried on pants and said something rude to my mom who was asking my opinion and my daughter caught on that my mother was agitated. She squeezed out behind me and told the woman,

"Your teeth are such a pretty yellow!"

My mom was never a fan of that lesson, but my dad was stubborn so she just let it go. Well, one day my sibling had 2-3 bites of food left on their plate, and was very clear that they were absolutely full and couldn't eat another bite. Dad wasn't having it and insisted they could not leave the table until all the food on their plate was gone. My sibling realized they weren't going to convince our dad that they were too full and finished the last few bites and then proceeded to vomit on the table and our dad. He stopped enforcing the rule after that.

40 Parents Share How They Tried Teaching Their Kids Life Lessons, But It Didn't Go As Planned My youngest boy would never listen, and he was always totally fearless. He was also always really lucky. Damn near every time either of us told him "don't do that, you're going to get hurt", he would do it and then not get hurt. So we ended up teaching him that when we said not to do something, that probably meant it was a fun thing to do. I remember really hoping that he would fall and break an arm or something non-life-threatening or disabling like that so he would stop constantly giving us heart attacks, which is weird to say as a parent but it never happened so it doesn't matter anyway. He never got anything worse than a small scrape or cut that could be cleaned and covered in five minutes before he was back at it again. Looking back I'm just glad this was before there was anything like Jacka** around to further encourage that s**t.

Now he's a stunt man for movies. Can't say I'm surprised.

When my daughter was 10, she wanted to try out for a community theater version of Beauty and the Beast. She got nervous though, and almost backed out, because she was so sure she wasn't going to make it.

My husband, who did some acting in high school, stepped in and said that he would also audition, even though he knew he was never going to make it. He wanted to demonstrate to her that it's okay to audition for something that you don't think you're going to make.

She ended up not only just making it, but she got the part of Chip. My husband got the part of Maurice, Belle's father. He didn't even want to be in a goddamn play

This happened to me growing up. I was always getting in trouble for all sorts of things like smoking (I was around 9 when I was first accused of smoking) after years of accusations and groundings for something I had never done and with new found confidence (hormones) in adolescence I figured if I was going to be punished for something I probably should do it. The irony is because the accusations had been happening for so long people stopped caring so I got away with pretty much everything.

40 Parents Share How They Tried Teaching Their Kids Life Lessons, But It Didn't Go As Planned Not a parent, but I work in a school.

At my school we have a lot of kids with learning disabilities (more than in your average school, as we have a special program for it and get special funding), so one of the first lessons of the school year is "everybody needs different things to learn, and if somebody is getting something different from you it's because that's what they need to learn at school." You know, a kid-friendly way of explaining accommodations.

Now, the usual accommodations we offer are special chairs/wiggle seats, extra breaks during the day, and extended testing time and tests were taken in a quiet room. One kid, however, has decided to take the 'everyone learns differently' lesson to heart and now talks in a fake-British accent (I live in America btw) all day. Because 'it helps him learn.

Then all of the other kids started talking in fake accents.

This is actually sort of a dangerous thing to teach children, that an authority figure is always right and knows what's best and that they should trust them unfailingly. They are likely to apply that to all authority figures and some authority figures do not have their best interest in mind. It's okay for kids to know their parents are flawed. It might mean explaining your reasoning to them more often, but that might also lead to children who are more likely to speak up if an adult is doing something to or around them they shouldn't be. Also, if they think your perfect because you told them so, then they realize your not and that you are capable of mistakes and poor decisions like the rest of the world, they will feel lied to or think you're a narcissist, either way it's broken trust.

Taught them to read early. My son could read by age 4, and my daughter by age 3. This leads to some unwanted conversations as they will read things over your shoulder when you aren't expecting it. Or even just signs on the road. "You're going too fast, Daddy. It says 55 mph and you're going 70."

40 Parents Share How They Tried Teaching Their Kids Life Lessons, But It Didn't Go As Planned I wanted to teach my son the value of money and work ethic because he kept wanting Robux... I decided it would be a great teaching moment, and a win-win opportunity as he was just getting to the age in which I think he should start doing chores around the house. He really wanted to buy some skin or something, so I created a chore chart and gave each chore a value. We established a schedule and everything. It was working out majestically, every day without asking he was doing dishes, cleaning his room, picking up the dog poop, it was epic. Then one day, I came home and nothing had been done. I asked him "hey man, what's up with the dishes? Oh and go pick up the dog poop too." He simply replied, "Nah". Fighting back rage, I simply said, "excuse me?" He said, he made enough money over the last x days that he bought his skin and he was good now. It was hard to argue.

This is why chores shouldn't be tied to money. Chores need doing, everyday life makes a mess. Only big chores, like clearing out the garage, should be paid.

She got a book for her kids about people from different races and cultures, designed to show the world is full of more than just white people.

Which was fine, until one day in a supermarket, when her daughter, pointing at someone down the aisle, said "look mummy, a black man".

As the object of little kids doing this frequently when living in a white area in my 20s, I honestly never minded. I thought it was hilarious how uncomfortable parents would get, and I'd smile and talk to the kids. "Yeah, I'm black! Are your white? Cool!" Then they'd sometimes ask questions and I'd wind up having a whole conversation with them. I also got, and still get, "are you a boy or a girl?" "Why does that boy look like a girl/girl look like a boy?" And I'm always super honest, I've had parents get embarrassed and try to shut kids up, but I always answer honestly. Kids are curious about the world and the people in it's that's a great thing. Once a conversation starts parents are nearly always really cool about it too. I tell them I've got kids so I get it, and I think that helps.

Not a parent, but, when I was like 16, my dad told me that I need to stop treating him and my mom like my friends because they're my parents. The very next day, before I got home from school, I had friend requests from both of my parents on Facebook. I denied them both. When my dad got home from work we had a conversation that went like this: Dad: Did you see that your mom made a Facebook account? Me: Yes, I did. Dad: Well, did you accept her friend request? Me: No, I didn't. Dad: Why not? Me: Because, just yesterday you told me you're my parents, not my friends. By the way, I also denied your friend request.

I figured I was about to get my a** reamed for that. But my dad just looked at me, looked at my mom who was almost in shock over my response and said, "He's not wrong. I said that." My dad and I still laugh at this, of course, it's been 8 years since that happened.

I got frustrated with my 9 year old son. He was being very ungrateful for everything. I was wishing for a dungeon under the house to put him in until he learned to be grateful for the things he had and what was provided. So in one of my more brilliant idea phrases, I decided that I would have him pack everything in his room and put it in the garage. Then he could show gratefulness and get one box back per week. I also took all the furniture out. He had his clothes on the floor and just his mattress on the floor. The room was bare other than that. This was a brilliant plan. This will show him! And teach a true life lesson. After 3 weeks there was no change in him and he had not asked for anything back. I finally asked him what's up. He said that he really liked the room being open and did not miss anything he had. He's 19 now and has a bed, a shelf, and a chair. Nothing else. He truly likes the minimalist lifestyle. No life lesson learned

Not a very big backfire, but here's a true story:

My grandmother passed away a few years ago. My brother decided to use this as a teaching moment for his two daughters, and he did his best to explain what was going on. He told them that he was flying out to Florida to attend the wake.

"What's a wake?" His daughter asked.

"It's a thing that happens before the funeral, where we go to see Nana's body."

His daughter's eyes widened with fear. He had a moment of panic, like maybe he'd made a mistake. Then she asked, "... What do they do with her head?"

At one time, 3 of my sons were sharing a large bedroom. I believe the ages at the time were 8, 5, and 3. Bedtime was tough because of all of the horseplay occurring, and the boys were constantly coming out of their room for some reason or another. We always tried to make sure they were settled before we went upstairs to our bedroom. On one particularly rambunctious evening, I came down stairs and sternly told them they had better stay in their room, it actually seemed to work. Fast forward a few weeks and my wife and I were helping them clean their room, when we discovered a plastic tote in the closet full of piss. We're like WTF and my oldest son said "you remember when you told us not to leave the room?" Apparently it became a very convenient toilet, even though the bathroom is right next to the bedroom.

My son figured out the whole Santa thing really early, and, as he likes to have more information about the world he figured the other kids in his preschool class would like to know too. After the first day of this the teachers asked us to have a talk with him about not spoiling for the other kids. Trying to find the right approach I decided to tackle the "Santa's not real" with the idea that he sort of was, that saint Nicholas was a very kind man a long time ago who wanted to make sure the children in his village has Christmas presents but over the years the legend got bigger and bigger and now it's nice to pretend about so please stop telling the other kids Santa's not real. He seemed to take it in well and I thought we were golden. Next day we hear from the teachers again... He matter-of-factly told an entire class of 3-6 year olds that "Santa used to be real but he's dead now." He also decided that meant he should write a letter to Santa by leaving it on his grave

Nice post, but the whole parent-shaming going on in the comments are just annoying. Here's a thing, parenting is hard and that is what this post is trying to show. What works for a family might not necessarily work for another. Heck, you might even need to use different methods with kids of the same family. Instead of judging other people's methods as "bad" or "dangerous" or "malicious", I think we need to be a bit more understanding.
