#mommy domme relationships
Though lying isn’t good…many times caregivers end up lying just a little, in order to make things in their little’s life a bit easier. And even if they might not be 100% truthful statements, they’re only said because a good caregiver knows that sometimes their little one might need to be reassured, even if it’s hard to do. Here are a few good examples;
- “Don’t worry, I didn’t really want (other, non-preferred food) for dinner anyway!”
- “Of course I have time to cuddle before work! I’ll just be a bit quicker, don’t worry about me being late…”
- “No, I’m not smiling at you, I’m mad!” (Said almost always when a little is naughty and the caregiver gets entertained and finds it cute, but doesn’t want to lose their authority by seeming OK with rule-breaking!)
- “You didn’t wake me up, really. I was just resting my eye! Now tell me…what was that about a bad dream?”
- “I don’t want to punish you either. This hurts me more than it hurts you.” (This is only a lie SOMETIMES, to be fair!)
- “I am not going to tell you again!”
- “Of course I remember! But…in case your stuffie forgot, why don’t you tell the story over again. From the beginning.”
- “No, no, little one. I’m completely sure, I wanna (drive/carry something/buy something).” (The lie used to reassure your little when you don’t want to admit that you’re actually doing it for them…because you never ever want them to feel guilty. You really DO want to do it…but that doesn’t mean you’d be against someone else helping…)
- “IGUESS we can watch the disney movie…if you want to!” (Said only because sometimes caregivers don’t wanna admit they like it too!)
- “If you don’t listen right this minute, no more cuddles!” (A COMPLETE lie, since not cuddling a little is pretty close to impossible!)
