[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 349056, member: 1514"] Lying is a problem. Duh you say...lol. Mine lied too...all the time. It got so bad I barely believed a word that came out of his mouth that I couldnt verify first. Mine lied to get or keep out of trouble or to do what he wanted to do. When there were all 3 kids here I simply stopped asking the "who did it" type questions. I knew I wasnt going to get the truth. I just said stuff like...well...xxx is not done, we arent going to the store until it is. Then I left them alone to sort it out. Or someone broke this. Or whatever. Now once they started moving out, then it became more clear who the perpetrator was. Or I knew dear Cory had stolen whatever. I didnt ask if, I would sometimes ask why. I never got a good answer though. I would tell him I knew he did it...or didnt do it, if it was something he was supposed to do. Now he doesnt lie to me so much...or if he does, I dont know. Now my oldest, he makes up stories for attention I think. He will take a kernel of truth about something and spin them into the most idiotic tales. I have to double check anything he tells me if it sounds the least bit fishy. He tends to tell what would be called "tall tales." [/QUOTE]
