[QUOTE="wintak, post: 429127, member: 11938"] no help really from me, but I have a liar. And like yours, lies about everything and makes up elaborate stories. As an adult I feel the need to prove to him that I know he's lying, even though from a different standpoint you could look at it as I'm arguing with an 8 year old. A recent favorite was he was with his gma (true) and they went for a walk around the lake (true) and all of a sudden they saw a big huge fish (had to laugh...fish story and how big it was) on the beach of the lake and it was flopping around (completely untrue) and they had to try and get him back in the water (again, since there was no fish, there was no getting him back in the water) and then it swam away. My mother was with him for this walk and she's looking at him in utter disbelief and shaking her head behind him back and forth...No. Seriously...why lie about that? It was just he and his gma and me. And of course they get bigger and better if he's done something wrong. I feel your pain...don't know what you can really do though. Some good ideas below though (or above, depending on how you read these posts) [/QUOTE]
