That’s all fine and dandy until they misbehave and you can’t follow through by sending them to school on the weekend.
This is what the passive income 1% crowd tell the rest of us.
How to be a shitty parent 101 and Wonder why your kid completely cuts you out of there life ASAP.

But you don’t do it.
What, are you saying that gaslighting your young child to do stuff they hate is harmful?
I can’t speak for other kids, but being honest with mine seems to work pretty well. “Why do I have to put away the dishes?” “Because if you don’t, we won’t be able to wash the dirty ones and then we’ll get roaches. Do you want roaches? No. So put away the dishes.”
Yeah, that’s the tack I’m taking with mine. No sense in lying because it’s not good for your relationship, and I can’t be bothered to keep track of a bunch of lies.
