    Because they were lied to unnecessarily.

    The parent is trading long term trust and respect in their relationship for short term compliance. That should only be done in emergencies.

      Its no different from telling a kid about santa to get them to behave.

        Exactly, that’s why my parents didn’t do santa with me and I’m not doing it with my kids.
