[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 512947, member: 6546"] Thanks for the persective. I already know that focusing on "lying" is not the best strategy. The phrase I keep using is "I looked for you and you weren't there". So I'm not even making it about where she was (because I know I will never hear the truth anyway). I am trying to emphasize that I want her to get into the habit of telling us where she is going - and for that to be the truth. If you tell me you are going to your girlfriend's house - then I better DARN WELL find you at your girlfriend's house. THAT seems to be the part that she is balking at. She wants to be able to come and go as she pleases without a word to anyone. If I ask her (which she doesn't want me to) then it will be MY fault that I am "making" her lie. [/QUOTE]
