Actually this is the best way to do it in order to be a good dad. My relatives, including my parents were never like this. If they wanted me to stop doing something they would make up a scary story in order for me to stop. If the question was difficult, "god did it" was the answer. This is a killer for the mind. As I was growing up, I had to fight through a lot of bullshit to understand how things worked.
I see my cousins and siblings following the same mentality today. I try to go the other way but they retaliate since it makes the child asking more and more questions. They were taught in the same fashion and thus they cannot break free from the cycle.
The more questions and mistakes a child makes, the better is prepared for the world. The more we numb their minds they harder life will treat them. If parents understood this simple fact many would be following your way. OCD or not. It works.
Thanks man.
"The more questions and mistakes a child makes, the better is prepared for the world."
Exactly!
If I didn't want to answer questions all day long there is a simple solution... don't have kids.
Although you clearly learned to question and think on your own. Good for you for trying to break that cycle.
I won't actually. I have my own reasons. Might make a post about it.
