Sure, I fantasize about doing this sort of shit with my kid sometimes too.

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.”

But you would still be able to wash the dirty ones. This is just a lighter lie (which imo is totally fine).

Where would I put the dirty dishes so I could wash them if the sink is already full?

How about somewhere else for the moment?? LOL

Wow u really are an idiot
