Weird parenting

By wow - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United Kingdom

Today, I learned that I'm not really allergic to chocolate. My parents made it up when I was a child because they didn't want me to get fat. FML

Wtf,thats so mean lol. And its not like there arent other ways to get fat. Must have been sucky growing up with all the other kids eating chocolate,while OP was "allergic".

ouch, that hurts. well, at least now you can try it and see what all the buzz is about(:

But this way no one else could buy her chocolate... There are so many occasions where parents can't control what kids eat.. birthday parties etc, this way she would never eat it. Terrible way to teach their kid though.

Typical of lazy parents. Lying and manipulating is easier than actually teaching. Why do the hard work when you can just lie and be done with it? Kids are stupid, right? You can tell them anything and they'll swallow it. Problem is, eventually the lies are uncovered and the kids realize they cannot trust their own parents. Then, on the occasion when the parents actually DO have the children's best interest at heart and are not just trying to lie and manipulate their way out of it, the kids disregard them and the parents wonder why the kids are taking everyone's advice except theirs. Parents like this think they are clever and "outsmarting" other parents who do the actual work but of course it all comes out in the wash. A parenting version of the little boy who cried wolf.
