The speaker explores the case of William H. Macy and Felicity Huffman, highlighting the harm caused to their daughter when they hypocritically helped her cheat on her SATs despite advocating for honesty. Listeners are urged to examine their own conduct as parents to avoid being perceived as hypocrites and to prioritize the well-being of their children.
"A few years ago, the Emmy-winning actor William H. Macy was asked for the best piece of advice he was ever given. 'Never lie,' he answered. 'It’s the cheapest way to go. Lies cost you a lot and they’re never worth what they cost.'
But as the authors of Unacceptable: Privilege, Deceit & the Making of the College Admissions Scandal noted, precisely as Macy was giving this interview, he and his wife Felicity Huffman were helping their daughter unknowingly cheat on her SATs."
Ryan explains why hypocrisy is so bad for a parent to indulge in, on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
