As you get older, it becomes more and more clear that your parents didn't really know what they were doing. Some lies were rooted in real concerns our parents had for us. Some were just hearsay. And in some cases, they were just trying to make fun of us. Thank God we have Google to undo what our parents did to us. Anyway if these made you have flashbacks, here's some more lies parents told their kids.

This rageful parent's emotional post about their daughter getting measles is as relevant a reminder to anti-vaxxers today, as it was, when it was posted back in 2015. The news is riddled with accounts of a measles outbreak, and the anti-vaxxers are being called out with renewed passion for their part in the upsurge of cases. Maybe this post will make a splash in the social media space, and inspire further discussion about the impacts of vaccination, or NOT vaccinating your children.

In the 1967 film "Creative Person, Fred Rogers:", Fred Rogers talks about how he believes adults can impact a child's sense of worth, and ability to be themselves, amidst having it defined, before they can as individuals. This one might strike some chords!
If you grew up believing that sniffling would kill your brain cells, or crossing your eyes ran the risk of them remaining like that; then, you might benefit from this list. Parents are capable of filling our childish, unknowing minds with all manners of misguided, outright dishonest tidbits of "knowledge." If we're lucky, we grow up, and discover the truth for ourselves through that good 'ol life experience.
No parent wants to see the day when their kid does something stupid, gets hurt, and then does that exact same thing again. It happens more than you'd think. From running around with buckets on their heads to getting stuck in trees, here are some all-stars.
The real challenge is not letting the kid know they're being funny. Kids can't know that yelling obscenities in a crowded bookstore is hilarious. It'd totally throw off their priorities.
