“Do you like to make a promise?”

There are times that we make promises. It is a simple word that can result to either, make or break the heart of others. “Would you agree?” For some parents, they tend to make promises to their children even it is impossible. “Can we blame them?” I think it shouldn’t be. They did it for the sake of love to their children. But then, we have to weigh if it is the right thing to do. “Why?” Some children are not like others who can comprehend it in just a snap of fingers.
In reality, the common quote: "Promises meant to be broken” was proven in some circumstances.
“What do you think?”

I don't make promises. Life is too unpredictable. I don't promise my children anything either, there is enough disappointment in this world and I don't want to be the one that causes more of it for them. I always tell them-Maybe about everything.

I never did like that quote.
Promises are meant to be kept.
I don't make a promise unnecessarily.

@ridingbet I think I remember you were so happy with somebody before. I am not sure if it is a TextMate. Correct me if I am wrong.

I only like to make promises that I can keep. I like to be a man of my word. So, before I promise anything I think carefully as to whether I can keep that promise.

@Shavkat There are two kinds of people, those that can and those that don't want to.

I do not like making promises unless I am sure that I can keep them. When I make a promise to my kids in the school, I do my best to keep it or else they will not believe in me anymore.

@Shavkat Yes, and once it is broken, it is difficult to bring it back.

I don't make promises because I fear that I'd break them. I'll say that I'll try or I'll do my best, but I never say I promise.

I don't make one, actually! So there's no point of breaking it.. If I think I can do it and i'll do it (like showing up and get together). If I don't, then I won't. That's me...

I used to grow up making promises, but then I learned that some promises cannot be attained, so I no longer make promises, only results

It shouldn't be broken intentionally. Otherwise why even bother making a promise if we don't intend to keep it in the first place?

My word is my bond, I was taught as a young child, not to break promises. My children all know that I would move heaven and earth just to keep my promises to them. I do the same to everyone. If I can't, then I will tell the person so after many tryings. (I am very forgetful these days however, so the kids have to constantly remind me.

I think you are a good mother like the others. They can give promises and so gentle to explain things if it is impossible. The bond between a mother and a child are so special. Communication will be understood despite promises weren't fulfilled.
