That's all fine and dandy until they misbehave and you can't follow through by sending them to school on the weekend.

[–] stoicwisesigma@thelemmy.club 68 points 4 months ago (5 children)

This is just one of the many examples of why parents today have grown so soft and refuse to give any true punishment to their children. Back in ye good old days when I was a wee lad I went to school 12 hours straight no breaks or anything and if I didn't my dad broke a metal chair over my rear end. Then all the sudden the democrats took over and things suddenly got worse. Overall I think people should definitely toughen up and parent their kids more effectively if they want to defeat crooked B*den and make America great again.

Haha, very funny. I almost believed you were serious!

Hey guys! New copypasta just dropped!!

Next you will tell us that the hill was up-school both ways.

[–] lemmyman@lemmy.world 41 points 4 months ago

This kid will start pushing this boundary in like 3 weeks (like every kid pushes every damn boundary all the time) and then OP will have a problem on their hands, when the kid decides that OP is toothless.

[–] freebee@sh.itjust.works 30 points 4 months ago

Sure, it's called Boarding School.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

You could try to make up some other shit to cover for it, how school told them that the kid needs to do chores at home for those two days or something. With their system it'd make sense to have a plan for this situation.

Or you just enjoy it while it lasts and drop it when it fails

[–] lugal@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (4 children)

At some point the kid will talk to other kids and find out they don't attend school on weekends either. Unless they hate school that much that they don't socialize with other kids which would be worrying as well

I totally could send them to school on the weekend.

Saturday is when the schools around here typically have detention. I'll just email the school and have the kid go to detention. Then on Sunday: Sunday school at a church.

Ten years later:

[–] kemsat@lemmy.world 50 points 4 months ago (2 children)

This works until a Friday when the teacher says “see you on Monday” to the kids

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 34 points 4 months ago

"even the teacher knows I was a good boy"

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago

Or on a Monday where the kid asks another student what the teacher said yesterday.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 47 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Yeah let's start teaching them lies straight away

[–] Flughoernchen@feddit.de 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Not like they wouldn't learn anyways. Learning to lie is an important part in development.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 27 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Teaching them that lying is totally cool, even about seemingly important things (to the child, anyways) will only teach them wrong lessons about lying.

No Santa for your kids, I suppose

I'm not planning to teach my kid to believe in fairy tales.

Oof, this is definitely a:

Every lie incurs a debt to the truth

Sort of thing. It's not going to be fun when your child understands that there is no school on weekends, you'll lose a lot of trust overnight with this.

That's going to backfire one day.

RIP child's trust.

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Not to mention, I mean…other kids talk about how they don’t go to school on those days? Now, yes, I am a super sleuth and a genius, but I’m starting to get the inkling that there’s some fishy, dubious lies going on here.

[–] thefrankring@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

When younger, my parents made me believe in Santa Claus. Most other kids were believing in it too, and I was getting more Christmas present. So it was cool and fair, even if not true.

But here, the person is lying to his kid to get away with something. Not cool.

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

But no one else is lying to their kids about this. So the game would be up pretty quick when any other kid in school talks about the weekend. Which…they all will.

[–] Sadbutdru@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 months ago

What age are kids in 'pre-k'? I'm imagining like 3-4 years old? I wouldn't be surprised at that working with some kids that age. Not saying I think the story is true necessarily, but just that young kids are very trusting, don't always put together information they get in different settings, and don't really discuss weekend plans with each other much.

doing this is going to make your children hate you when they grow up, have fun with that. you deserve it for being a shit parent

[–] theareciboincident@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I genuinely think shit like this is what promotes antisocial behavior in children. As in clinically antisocial, not just a synonym for introverted.

Children learn hundreds of new words and new things every week. That’s their entire purpose in life at that age.

Deliberately lying to them about how basic reality works for extended periods of time is likely what causes the neural short circuits of religion and conservatism.

Yeah. I honestly think it's also a fuckup to treat children totally differently from adults. Probably around age 7 they start noticing it and a lot of people resent that treatment.

I think this is another case of a joke that people have taken seriously. There's no chance this would work in reality. It just makes for a funny hypothetical.

I guess for some people the dumber you are the more impressed you are with your own ability to fool a child. Probably because that's the last stage of their child's life where they can still pretend to be smarter....

[–] EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 3 months ago (4 children)

wow, even a 4 year old knows that schools are bullshit.

Maybe this is fun now. It won't be later tho

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 months ago

I can't imagine there's never a scenario where the teacher says "See you Monday," on a Friday. I think this is fiction.
