But sometimes the seemingly “wrong” thing to do becomes something to be applauded. Members of the ‘Ask Women’ community recently discussed such instances when the user ‘VisibleCoat995’ asked them about the technically “wrong” things their children have done that actually made their parent proud. Scroll down to find the redditors’ answers on the list below and see for yourself how eventful life with children typically is and how surprisingly wholesome some “wrongdoings” can be.
Bored Panda has reached out to u/VisibleCoat995 and they were kind enough to answer a few of our questions. You will find their thoughts in the text below.

“It made me think how kids will do things parents have to tell them not to do because they are dangerous, or break the rules, but they are still the ‘right’ thing to do. It’s a funny dichotomy.”
Some instances like this do tend to be funny, which makes it difficult for parents to keep a straight face, but it’s crucial that they do if they want to teach their little one to distinguish right from wrong. Children reportedly build the foundation for ethical behavior over the first five years of their lives and parents play a crucial role in the process.

“It was interesting to see how many were about kids having to defend themselves against bullies,” they added. “I was in high school when ‘zero tolerance’ was started in my school, where just being a part of a fight, even defending yourself, would get you a suspension—a rule that is just asinine and lazy. Generally it seems to punish the victims more than the bullies.”

They continued to point out that not blindly listening to authority figures would be there on the list, too. “Adults do not always have a child’s best interests at heart and kids need to know when it is appropriate to stand up for themselves when they know what an adult is doing is wrong,” the redditor explained. “Some adults may still see standing up for yourself as disrespect but I think that is slowly changing in society.”
