Parenting is not easy, especially during times when your little one refuses to listen or eat their veggies.

At Bright Side, we compiled 15 sweetly hilarious stories from parents who successfully used reverse psychology on their kids.

I remember my mom used to say that if you didn't sleep a lion with 2 feet would come and take me
I used to get so scared that I used to sleep immediately after that
