” If Anyone Asks You’re 7″
Find me the parent that never lied about their kids’ age! I would be surprised if you could even find one person. It’s a universal parental experience to” omit” your kid’s age to get free or cheaper stuff. Kids are expensive, and anything that will financially relieve parents is some kind of help. In the U.S. alone, the average cost of raising a child is approximately $267,000 over 18 years, though it can vary depending on the family’s lifestyle.
With that amount of money going into childcare, it only makes sense parents would tell some white lies about their kid’s age to get a few good deals here and there. Even though this isn’t so much of a questionable hack, parents mustn’t abuse this practice; after all, we shouldn’t forget we’re setting an example for our kids.
