Similar thoughts from you guys so far - nobody wants to disappoint and I include myelf here. I try not to promise anything I cannot keep either and this was always really important when I raised my children. But it is still important to me as it is about trust.
Mind you, I promised myself something a week ago and I broke my own promise   |

"I guess when it becomes the kinder gesture….
For instance a mother promising her child the doctors needle won’t hurt…
 "
A nurse did that to one of mine when he was 4 - I have a healthy respect for the profession but she lied to him and he had a needle phobia for many many years. |

I also try not to make promises.... just in case. There can always be a good reason fr breaking one though. I told my niece I would take her out for the day.... we made a date, my Dad was taken into hospital to be cut almost in half to have a cancerous tumour and kidney taken out on that day as they had a cancellation...... even at 8, my niece knew I wasnt just fobbing her off with an excuse as to why I couldnt take her out  |

I promise you a coffee and chat or rose and chat in the summer xx "
It is a deal - signed and sealed xx |

"When is it ok - if ever - to break a promise? Intention is ever so light-hearted but you can reply in a serious manner without being shot"
As the saying goes; 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions.'
I try never to make promises unless I am certain I can keep them. I'm almost manic about it. Most of the time I say, 'I can't promise, but I will do my best'. |
