[QUOTE="PlainJane, post: 592213, member: 11700"] Yes, we have this same issue. Mine is only 5 (almost 6) but it is a regular part of talking with him. Swearing he said things he didn't or swearing he didn't say things he did. Hubby and I think of it as some odd form of lying, although he has nothing to gain from it. The doctor has suggested we try saying, like in your difficult child's case "do you *wish* you had said that one already?"...sometimes that does work for our difficult child, like he needs reality to be how he wants it, he needs to control everything and everything mush go how he wishes, and if it doesn't he just lies to himself and others (even if we just heard what he really said) as if he can get everyone to believe him and therefore change what really happened to make it what he wanted to happen. Occassionally it doesn't work, and it seems he just wants to fight? so I don't know... Sorry if I sould confusing, its hard to explain. I know how draining it is. [/QUOTE]
