Lies your parents told you

They told me the "official" 9-11 report was true and the buildings fell from melted beams due to jet fuel.

But I'm sure at the time they actually believed it.

 

Mine Told Me They Went To No End Of Expense To Get Me Born Safely.

Mom Had A Series Of Miscarriges, And When She Fell Pregers With Me She

Went Into Hospital At 6 Months.

Then When I Asked Where I Came From, They Said The "Stork" Brought Me....

I Don't Like Lies, And As It Turned Out, I Found Out That I Was Really Found

Under A Cabbage.

Why Didn't They Tell Me The Truth In The Beginning....



Cheers Glen.

 

When I was a kid my mom always told me if I stayed in the bathtub too long, like when youre fingers start getting wrinkly, that'd I would turn into a prune! Haha it makes me laugh now! :sunny:

 

I remember my mom taking me to all of these weird peoples houses that she called "friends" of hers. Now I know that she was a meth head and used me as a decoy to get out of the house and get fucked up. That one still hurts me today. Then she lied to me my whole life and told me my dad never tried to call me or wanted to see me. I later found out (a year ago) that my dad has been trying to get in contact with me for years. He even sent me every single Christmas and birthday card I never received.

 

For some reason I always pictured you as a Cabbage Patch Kid Glen:2thumbsup:

 

Honestly my folks never lied to me, guess they figured out I would over time find the truth.

 

There's such thing as Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Jesus and the Easter Bunny =P
The republican viewpoint is the correct one.
Marijuana's bad (Mm'Kay).
War is good and necessary.
"Fart" is a cuss word =P
Babies come from the hospital =P
And the one about turning into a prune if you sit in the bathtub too long, lol.

 

oh, crap, i'm 50 and they have not stopped

most of them are far more serious than nonsense about santa claus or jesus or whatever

 

My parents told the "usual" lies about Santa and The Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy.

But I'm the one who filled my kids' heads with fibs. Probably my best was convincing my sons that the whole world was in black and white until colour was invented in 1964. My "proof," of course, was old tv shows and movies. It was pretty darn obvious to them that the world back then was in black and white.

 

I can't honestly really recall when /if my parents actually 'lied' to me.
It is a practice that I have passed onto my children (and to others)
Honesty is always a major factor in earning respect I feel
Whether people like you or not is one thing, having reliability of truth is another - and indeed shows (my favourite phrase) = Conviction of Conscience
eace:

 

My parents lives were whole lies- trouble was they believed them and now are so shocked to find they were totally wrong! :2thumbsup: means I am no longer weird - well maybe but I like to think they have a better understanding of my weirdness ....

 

If you sit too close to the tv, you'll go blind

Don't make that face or it'll stay like that!

My parents were pretty rad with their lies :tongue:

 

they told me that good things eventually happen to good people

 

They've showed me to be honest , polite & respectfull , just like any good christian ...
My problem is that with time , they turn out to be the worst kind of lyers , two faced hypocrit , and manipulators I've ever seen !!!

 

"We will love you for yourself, no matter what, with no favorites. Be yourself."

My little sister, the youngest of 6 daughters, got a phone call a few months ago from our mother. Mom told her not to tell her sisters, but she was the best one of all of us and I was the worst. She was so mortified that I had chosen to stay in school after my wedding. No babies? I was in direct rebellion from God's plan for my life! She taught us better than that!

Now, though, Dad's trying to figure out why the little sister won't talk to either of them. I don't have the heart to tell him what Mom said.

 

I gather it was the favoured sister who told you this "news?" Could she have exaggerated, for effect, or for a joke? Could she have misinterpreted your mother's words? Did you ask your mother if what you were told was true? Or if she has an explanation?

If you haven't, I'd check things out with mom before putting both in the deep freeze.

 

Actually, her story was true to a side of Mom that until then I (and maybe Dad, but he won't discuss such things) was the only one to see. Mom has been very vicious to me and Dad behind our backs, and to my face at least, for well over 10 years. She convinced the rest of the family (including Dad's) that he is a moron with rage issues and that I am delusional and paranoid. I don't know why she targeted the two of us, but she did and still does. We are her cross to bear, to test her faith or something.

This kind of prank was never Kid Sister's style. She very abruptly stopped calling our parents, though she has started rethinking her opinion of Dad. He does have rage issues, that Kid Sister and I witnessed firsthand, but he never so much as threatened to actually hit any of us (Not counting spanking, of course.). But if I were married to Mom for 20+ years, I'd have rage issues too.

 

My dad claimed it would sprout inside you and a vine would grow out your ass like a tail. He told my brother that when the vine grew out he would have to get specially tailored pants with a tail for the vine. My brother didn't take this too well lol.

 

I don't think your parents really lied to you about that....

And I don't think my parents ever lied about anything that mattered, or for any reason other than to keep me happy and healthy. I never got untrue drug/sex info (though the truth IS scary on it's own) or any of that shit. The only lie I can even really think of was when my mom threw out a set of darts I'd pulled out of someones trash, because she'd found them stuck all over my wall, and she lied about not knowing where they where for a few weeks to pacify me. I was one irate little kid when I found out
