    My daughter locked me out of the house once while I was putting the washing up. Went to the window "open the door darling...". Up until I saw her face I thought it was an accident but she seemed way too pleased with herself. I had to break into my own house!

    My sister and I got along (by that I mean actually talking to each other, not yelling, not getting into a physical fight) for a total of about 6 months in the almost 50 years we've been alive. Luckily it's the complete opposite with my brother.

    And then expecting your child to be honest with and not lie to you. Instead of saying "no" we prefer to lie to our children. What does that teach them? 1. Lying is fine (yes, they can tell when you lie to them most of the time, which can lead to trust issues) 2. There is never a "no" for me in this world = entitlement. Now I am not judging parents who do this, I totally understand that desperate situations sometimes lead to unwise decisions and how hard it may be to say "no" to those cute people. But it is necessary for them. And for you.
