> Most kids are self-centered, duplicitous sacks of bullshit. Most children aren't. You're definitely telling on yourself more than commenting on how children behave. Trust is a shared activity. If you treat children like you'd treat the GRU that's exactly how they'll behave. > and I have a good relationship with these two. If you have a good relationship, why are they lying to you? Is it because they don't trust you? Is that because you don't trust them? I wonder who started it. I'm pretty sure you'll blame them again, so I'll pre-answer for that. "they proved it already by making [some mistake]" ...yeah, kids will make mistakes, but when you forgive them, and believe in them, and prove that they can trust you, they will. By treating them like the GRU all you do is prove they can't trust you. You're supposed to be the adult, right? You have to go first, children are only able to copy what they see.
