Why do people make out as if their children are soo perfect?

I dunno I don't own any "perfect" kids myself. No person is perfect so how can ones' kid be? They must be seeing life thru rose colored children.

Well, there are lots of parents who are like that. They want to be proud of their children that even if their kids are not really good, they will shout to the world that they have good children. They want to be proud of their kids. That is wrong to me. If your kids are not good which most kids are always acting like kids... they should face it. No covering the bad acts. It should be corrected. The more you cover the bad things children do and tell everybody that they are perfect, it won't help them to improve and change into good. I don;t like to hear parents covering the mistakes of their kids.

Because they seem to wish that their Children are like that they close their eyes to reality and will not accept that their are not perfect A perfect Child is not a normal Child in my eyes My Children (both Adults) are wonderful believe me but I also know they have their faults and are no Angels and not perfect They are normal Humans and where normal Children when little I used to ignore the Mothers that used to go on how perfect their Children, knowing that they are not

A lot of people like to hide behind that curtain and not see their children as tyrants that they really are, especially behind closed doors. Now that's the kind of people I love to hate!! lol I lived next door to one of those types and it was a nightmare! They were constantly accusing us of doing something wrong. It wasn't us but someone else because nobody liked them in our neighborhood because they thought their kids could do no wrong.

There are parents who have trouble with their children at home, but don't want anyone to know about them...they feel that what goes on in their family life, is not for others to hear.They also don't want others to know that they don't have the perfect life. So they apear to have perfect kids, because you never hear about the wrong things they do. My sister was just like that...we always thought her kids were perfect, until years later when her kids told us things they did when they were young. I thought it was funny that they let the cat out of the bag, and my sister wasn't too happy about it. There are also families that brag and brag about their kids, I have an uncle and aunt that do it all the time, to the point where people they know try to avoid them like the plague, because they know that all they are going to talk about is their children. Unfortunately, because their children excelled greatly - one is a school principal, and another is millionaire lawyer - we heard about them all the time. We knew they weren't perfect kids, and they did make their mistakes, so we didn't hold it against them. But when it came to the my aunt and uncle, it certainly caused a gap between us, and I no longer felt close to them after my teen years.

hmm... i don't know cause i don't have one yet. but i think it is part of normal human live where everybody (i think) have the attitude of showing off what they just got extra than others. i think if it is at the right place, it should be okay cause it trigger others to be better so everybody at least at par. however.... if it is toooo excessive, then it would be annoying... ha ha... i don't really know actually, just my thought~~~

Hi, jugs. The reason why people do this is because they want to assure themselves that their child has it going on, when in fact, they don't. And the parent knows this. They want to make themselves feel good by bragging so that they can convince themselves that their child is exceptionally much better than another child. They should not do this. Deception is not the way to go when it comes to a child.

Because they love them and want to see the best in them. And kids don't tell their parents the truth so the parents are going on what they think is true. Parents are looking through rose colored glasses and percieiveing some truth and some non-truth. It all comes down to love of family and a bunch of that sort of hooey. Haha

I guess it's better that they brag about their children then complain. I would much rather hear about the good things than the bad and anyone who has children knows they are both good and bad like the rest of us.

Oh yes, I know what you mean. I have a cousin that has a grandson about 9 months older than my grand daughter. She is always talking about how perfect that boy is and how he sings and reads. He is 4 years old the same as my grand daughter. To hear her tell the story he is a genius. I get so tired of hearing her when I run into her in the grocery store. Happy Mylotting

I know that to every mother their child is the best and to certain extent that is perfectly normal but I know some mothers who appear to be completely blind to their children’s misbehaviour! I am a mum and I hope I don’t do that because I think my little girl is very good, although I know she is not perfect, because no child is and I pray that I am not blinded by the love I have for her! The problem is that some kids are little s**ts and the mothers just refuse to acknowledge the fact!

hi jj, parents are like that. they love to boast about their children achieving good grades, nice stuff, etc. they are just proud parents. of course children are not saints. it is from them that most mischief comes. but still we love them. don't let it bother you. have a nice day. ann

First off, I am not going to say that my children are perfect in any way. I do know that Kathryn is smarter than the majority of the children at her school, but I am not saying this because I am conceited, I am simply saying this because that is what I've been told by both her teachers and also by the principal at her school. She does, though, get on my nerves a lot of the time too and she does do things that she knows that she is not supposed to do.

Well would you actually put your children down in front or to other people who could care less about your children to begin with? I doubt it, or I hope not. Your job is to protect your children and not put them down. So yes a parent knows all flows but as far as other people concerns, for a parent one's children are perfect and the best no matter what.

Oh, I know!!! And they also make out as if their kids can do no wrong. Yesterday i was walking to the bus stop when a kid jumped out infront of me. I instinctively and firmly (but not angrily or violently) said "watch it! I'm blind!" The mother gave me hell because "you don't talk to a 5 year old that way." She also threatened to call the police that I was harassing her kid. I called them FIRST! LOL I dind't want to get the police involved, but I thought I'd better before she did, and the police agreed with me. I started a conversation about it on my own page about "when your children were five years old..." and then asked parents if a 5 year old child knew better than to cause trouble on sidewalks. I knew better when i was five. my mother taught me well.

Peole do that because they want to be perfect themselves. They also don't want to own up that they don't have the perfect life. It's what every person wants. That persect life with the perfect husband and the perfect kids. My kid used to be good. She was an above average student in elementary and an average one in middle school. She knew what she had to do and she did it with little attitude. But once she high school, she pretty much became a terror. She started with the attitude and not helping around the house. It was aweful but through all these years she was no saint. She had her moments. Not a perfect life but then again perfect is too tame.

i think they feel that their kids are a mirror of who they are and how good of parents they are.. so if their kids are dumb or little devils a lot of people just assume their parents are the same way or awful and dont care.. its a pride thing in "look i MADE THAT!"

I've way more time for parents who acknowledge and deal with inappropriate or bad behaviour. It's one thing to love your kids but it is another to blindly believe they are perfect - because the kid starts to think they ARE perfect and owed the world. I do sometimes wonder if people forget what it was like to be a kid and that they were not perfect back then either. Perhaps their parents were blinkered too!

hi,jugsjugs! when my little female cousin was born,she remained a topic among my relatives for a very long time.when getting together,her parents shared all the details of her growing with us,and we all felt very interesting and often laughed a big laugh. so I guess maybe people just want to share their delight and pride with you,probably there is nothing else. have a nice day!

People DO think that their children are "angels" and it's SO annoying! They think it that they are a good parent because they have a good kid! Against common sense!
