[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 652512, member: 1550"] Lil...I don't know how she can MAKE him do it, but if she can, that is first choice but in front of her. If not, she has no way of knowing if he has told her. His record in the truth telling dept., like most of our little darlings, is not good, especially when things get tough. Our little darlings are not exactly mature or men of steel. They get away with all they can, even if they have to lie to us to do it. So she had better be there or all she has is his Difficult Child word, which we all know isn't worth much...and whose fault is that? Who are those little darlings who lie to us while staring us straight in the eyes? A consequence for lying is you need to prove what you say you did and the only way for this is to say it in front of Dad or Mom. If he's willing to tell the truth. I'm guessing he will, under duress, but that he won't if not forced to by an audience of sorts... I believe in minding your own business UNLESS somebody is at risk if you do so. I would not call 911 if I heard yelling from next door. To me this falls into the category of causing harm to somebody else, even if it is not a fatal disease.
