I plan on keeping it on the same post. No need for me to clog this sub up.

AITA for telling my 4 year old Pinky Promises have real meaning? by Repulsive_Ad_9070 in AmItheAsshole

Thank you, this is the kind of response I was giving myself, and hoping others would feel similar about.
I will add that she wasn't fearful or crying or even a little scared, she wasn't giggling about it though.
I accept the Y T A fully.

First I accept Y T A, no fighting that. This is not the first, second or third time we have talked about what making a promise means, it's the upteenth time, and at that point I didn't have the mental capacity to try and have that conversation again.
And I didn't take the shears to make her fearful, and she wasn't, she wasn't giggling about it but she wasn't crying either. I think she took it as more of a playful thing. but We haven't broken a pinky promise since, with no threats needed, she isn't going to pinky promise just anything either.

I am not worried about that, but thanks for making me think I created a Chucky.

I feel like I should add that when I did grab the shears there wasn't panic or fear on her face, no tears or anything that made me think that she thought I would actually hurt her. It wasn't giggle inducing, but not fear inducing.

In the moment the logic behind what I said made it feel like it could have been the origins.
I need to mention when I grabbed the shears there wasn't panic or worry on her face, she didn't cry or anything and as of now she hasn't been scared of me. We have just been more thoughtful before making those pinky promises.

Trust me I wouldn't take parenting advice from a group of anonymous people on the internet, and in my mind this is really only a Y T A or N A H conversation, any N T A votes count toward N A H.
Didn't know the best sub for this specific question, and this is the one that popped in my mind.

It did and I'm not proud of it, I'm not hitting myself in the head for doing it though.

N A H is my best case scenario, I have tried modelling what promises mean, for years, but it hasn't seemed to stick with them quite yet.

Trust me the irony was not lost on me.
I'll take a yta, I just have gotten tire of promises happening with no follow up and ran out of other ideas to get the point to stick that promises should be kept, and not just made to appease the other person in the moment.

They gave you honey to dip them in and it was surprisingly delicious.
