A TikTok mom isn’t guilty about lying to her kids and wears it like a badge of honor. The lies she tells her children seem harmless, encouraging other parents to reveal how they fool their own.
Bringing kids up can be tricky, especially if you can’t get into their minds. That’s why you should follow a psychologist’s ’15-second tip’ to stop children being rude and making them more considerate. However, some circumstances force parents to tell their kids white lies, that deserve to be laughed off.
TikTok mom isn’t guilty of lying to her children
Rachel has dedicated her social media accounts to discussing all things parenting and she isn’t afraid to admit to doing things that don’t sit well with traditional parents.
She often questions traditional parenting, while bringing more attention to the plight of a young mom in the modern day. In one of her videos, she opens up about lying to her children now and then.
Whether replacing the original Chick-fil-A sauce with the one bought from the store for her kids or feeding them Costco nuggets after enjoying a McDonald’s meal with her husband – Rachel isn’t guilty about her doings.
“There are days when my kids have been driving me nuts and they’re so little, so they can’t tell time yet,” she says, before confessing that she puts them to bed up to 45 minutes early when it’s too much to handle. “I’m not sorry about it,” she says.
In her final confession, Rachel says she has her husband’s location and sometimes, tells her kids he’s only a minute from home when he’s at least 15 minutes away.
The kids run to the window in anticipation of their father. When they realize he isn’t home and tell Rachel that there’s no sign of him, she encourages them to “keep looking.” “They just stay there and they wait. I get a break,” she says at the end of her video.
