[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 687726, member: 18238"] I find it hard to see it this way. Right now our son has a NASTY cough caused in part by allergies. Night before last we had him take an allergy pill and use some nasal spray. It was a bit better yesterday. This morning he's hacking and coughing big time again. I comment that if he had taken the allergy pill last night like we'd told him it wouldn't be as bad. His response was that he did take the pill. My response, "You mean the on still in the bottle in the bathroom?". His response, "Oh, I must have forgotten to take that but I used the nasal spray when I got up". I had tossed the bottle to him in the bedroom the night before. HE took it into the bathroom. I have my doubts that he actually used the nasal spray either but the pill was the more important of the two anyway. He lied to me about something that had no potential gain for him. He could have simply said that he fell asleep and when he woke figured it was too late for it to be helpful. Lies like this do NOTHING to protect the idea of how we see him OR his sense of self. Why bother? [/QUOTE]
