Do you think some parents sugarcoat too much shit to their kids?

I know I’m not a parent but just curious. It’s like some people say their parents are being “mean” to their kids for speaking the truth. Um…HELLO?! That’s what parents are SUPPOSED to do? If they lie and sugarcoat shit to kids then it will effect their futures and they won’t trust their parents. My parents didn’t sugarcoat anything. They call it as it is and they WILL speak the truth either you like it or not. Lol. But that’s what I love about them. I guess I got my brutal honesty from them. Both my brother and I tell it like it is and outspoken.
Honestly, kids need parents that will tell it like it is. Stop sugarcoat shit to make the kids happy. They’re not responsible for their feelings. Are they? Just a thought. It’s like cartoons nowadays sugarcoat things. I mean yes it DEPENDS on a child’s age but if they’re like older kids like junior high and high school, they’re old enough to hear the ugly truth, even it it hurts. Tell them!
