Miranda Rights for Parents
Jul

2012
Just a warning to those of you whose kids are too young to talk: when they do talk, they will remind you of things you said. So please remember your rights.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be held against you in a subsequent disagreement.
You do not need an attorney – you are the parent.
In other words, don’t promise your children things in order to placate them temporarily. They will remember what you told them and will ask about it later (“But you said we could get the squirt guns after dinner…”). You as a parent should mean what you say.
To me they listened and waited, And kept silent for my counsel.
