Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

If you have ever told your kids “You can tell me the truth” and then proceeded to lose your shit when you heard the truth, your kids are NEVER going to be open and honest with you.

This is one of the things I told myself I would never do, and I've stuck to it. I'm a father of 5, including three daughters. When they started going through puberty, I made it a point to let them know that they can come to me with questions if they wanted to, and that I will never, ever make them feel weird about it. My eldest is 14 now and has held me to that promise.
