Dad Tip of the Day: You Will Get Busted
Dad Tip of the Day: Your kids will tell on you and get you in trouble with your spouse.
My wife is smart. She doesn’t miss much. She got straight A’s in school and has a master’s degree… even her blood type is A positive.
I used to be able to get away with a few things when she wasn’t looking – drinking directly out of the 2-liter soda bottle, tossing a piece of trash across the room into an open trash can, eating a cookie without a napkin, etc. Things that are generally no-no’s in her book.
Well, having kids has seriously restricted my ability to get away with things – my kids rat me out! I apparently haven’t taught them the life fact that “snitches get stiches”.
Like the time I taught my son how to jump off the couch when my wife wasn’t home – he went and told her all about it!
Or the time all of his spoons were dirty, so I gave him a plastic kiwi cutter to eat his ice cream with (it has a spoon on the end!) – ratted out again!
How about the time I told him to wipe his booger on his pants when I couldn’t reach him in the car… or the time we were watching golf on TV while mom as at the grocery store and turned it off when we saw her pulling up - he said “we were watching golf on TV mom” when she asked how things were going… come’on son!
This last weekend we were getting ready for Jacob’s birthday party and there were a few extra balloons, so while mom was inside with Kendra I filled up a regular balloon with water to the size of a basketball to make a ginormous water balloon, but it accidentally popped as we were carrying it to throw it safely into the street and got one of the bouncy toys all wet right before the party… he told on me of course!
There you have it. Dads should be prepared to get in more trouble than ever before on account of their kids! I recommend building up those brownie points with your spouse whenever you can, so maybe you get in less trouble later!
Good luck,
Brian
Oh Dude, As much as you might want to trust your kids with any secret you can be sure as the wind blows that they will out you without a second thought or even knowing they did it. Also, Never and I mean never pull the "this is our little secret" card or "don't tell mommy" card. Not only will they rat you out for whatever you are trying to keep a secret but they will then unknowingly make you the head of a full on marital conspiracy. Kids innocence is a wonderful thing. Don't ever forget it. lol
Owen does the same to me. I was going to surprise my wife with her gift and Owen totally ran to her and told her , "We're getting you your present mommy". Lol
Ha, that is funny!
Kids always telling the truth ! And Sometimes it “hurts”.
And be prepared if they start copy you.... that will be fun 😉
This is how our children get us into trouble but I think they do it without realizing it, beautiful Jacob
Hahah, funny stories you got there. Kids are just great!
Their purity, honesty and kindness makes my heart warm 😊
Friend Brian, I laughed a lot with your story, hahaha. In relation to what you say, I am divorced and I only have one teenage daughter who fortunately lives with me because it is all for me, so I do not have anyone to betray me with! Oh, and also my blood is A positive! I wish you all the best for you and your family. Best regards.
Hahaha for your words as you see that your child Jacob has done many mischief, but that's how you are right. All the words said by you in your publication are wise of a father already with knowledge about the children. Greetings to you and your beautiful family @brian.rrr
Jajajajaja Jacob is beautiful but this is how the children keep nothing, they say everything @brian.rrr
Even if I sm not in the best mood today you made me laugh so hard... Kids are the most honest and they just can't keep secrets. So you really have to think twice what to do in their presence.😇
When they are old enough, you snitch on them once, and they will quickly learn the ways of life 😅
