Dd has come to me twice now to say she has seen a ghost (2 years old)

Tonight she said she saw a boy...i was calmly explaining to her that ghosts cannot hurt you and maybe he wa ted to be your friend.

Dad walks in and says ghosts are not real.

He doesnt believe in this kind of thing whereas i do (i have never spoken to Dd about ghosts)

AIBU to think it is better to teach her they wont harm her rather than dismissing her belief

Just because you do not believe doesn't make it nonsense!

It is nonsense. It makes no difference whether I believe it or not. Shame on you for telling a two year old such rubbish.

Shame on you for not being a bit more open minded.

Nah, she's right. It's nonsense.

I am open-minded. What I am not is endlessly credulous and devoid of all critical thinking. I like science.

hotbutteredcrumpetsandtea · 11/11/2017 17:42

More open minded my arse. Said be people so open minded all their braincells fell out. Hmm

When you open your mind too much your brain falls out.
Yabu for encouraging such nonsense.
