Honesty is the best policy....most of the time.
Parenting has a way of teaching you that sometimes, a little white lie is totally necessary: Whether it's to protect your kids, to keep them in line, to make your life easier or to preserve their belief in the Tooth Fairy, every parent has had to bend the truth from time to time. And a real-life dad is here to expose the fibs we tell in the name of parenthood.
Apparently 9 out of 10 parents say 'white lies' are the secret to a happy life. What are the fibs you've told your children? #PetHeaven

Daddy cannot hear when it is dark. Call mummy if you wake up at night.

a helicopter used to pass over our house at 6pm daily . I said they were checking to make sure kids were eating ALL their dinner nicely.
