Parent says five-year-old insists cheating feels better than winning fairly
Original: Me to my blossoming card shark: you know, winning doesn’t feel as good when you cheat 5yo: it feels BETTER # parenting
A parent shared an exchange with their five-year-old child, who has taken to card games with a win-at-all-costs attitude. When told that winning doesn't feel as good when you cheat, the child replied that cheating actually feels better. The anecdote has struck a chord as a humorous, honest look at how young children reason about competition and honesty before fully absorbing social rules.
Why now: The child's candid admission is funny and relatable to parents dealing with competitive kids.
