It's fun to sit from on high and tell people "don't bribe your kids" ....even if I don't really mean it....
Is it bribing or is it incentivizing?
I know someone who said they would never lie to their kids, which is an enormous crock of baloney
Let's be honest, the world would be a terrible place if everyone always told the truth. "Hi Bob, how's it going", "Not so great. I'm depressed, have a headache, my boss is riding my ass...", "Listen Bob, I don't really give a shit". Plus, think of all the lies we are told growing up: Tooth fairy, Santa, Jesus, your face will stick like that, hard work is rewarded, etc.
