newtboyMommy, I’m not mad at you, it’s ok, I was planning on killing you while you sleep next week anyway.
moonsammyI really, truly despise this whole concept, and have since I first saw a video of it. I know it's probably fairly low-harm, but I don't think it's great to get kids used to the idea that Mom or Dad will lie to them about something so pointless. Really I don't like lying to kids in general, and have tried my best to avoid it with my own.

BSRI totally agree. I can't understand how he still continues this segment. I would like to think there was a backlash big enough to discontinue it.
This one is a gem but I don't think it's worth the hurt or real distress imposed on the kids by the people they love.
This kids act of forgiveness impressed me the most.

newtboyI could never understand parents that happily destroy their children’s trust in them and teach them that their trust isn’t as important as likes from strangers.
Any parent that does this deserves the state run nursing home they end up in. They broke the “protect and care for” contract first. Crushing a child’s trust in their parents is abuseive.

noseeemoddly was talking about this, today. w/the crowd here. lying to your child about eating all their candy = won't do. nor have.
gaining trust and keeping it is hard. kids have to know and you have to demonstrate that truth is a better policy than lies.
a big reason, the last four years, have wondered if doing them any favors by trying to teach honesty, how to deal w/anger, and having the self-worth (or humility) to admit when wrong, done wrong, or made a mistake...is any longer applicable? giving them values useful for their adult lives?
know it is most likely over-worrying but seeing the daily news can make a person truly think 'wtf'?!
if the orange wave is the future, then i've done wrong to them and hope they can forgive me.

lucky760Totally agree with all the wtf sentiments.
I'd never prank my kids like this, and I think it's bad for them in general.
However...
1. I do enjoy the clips where kids are really sweet and generous with responses like "It's totally okay. I don't mind." and "I hope you didn't get a tummy ache." These are the types of kids where they seem to be getting good parenting otherwise (and seem to lack lowlife genes).
2. For the other dipshit kids with atrocious responses, I feel like they respond with selfish toxicity and disgust because they're already probably being raised that way, so this prank is just par for the course.

Weird flex I know, but fwiw my kids don't eat their Halloween candy, and they donate their haul at the dentist to send the junk to our troops.
(My kids don't eat candy in general, but if we, their parents, did tell them we'd eaten something they wanted, they'd respond with hearts full of happiness hoping we enjoyed it. My boys are wonderful. ❤️)
