[QUOTE="Suz, post: 349079, member: 29"] Rob was a pathological liar and still lies often enough that I had to stop asking. Maybe I don't understand the whole situation but the scenario you describe sounds like a lose-lose proposition. Since daughter is living with Dad, I think I'd let her lies about job prospects be Dad's concern and not yours. If being employed is part of the deal with living with Dad then he can be the bad guy this time and make her toe the line...or not. If she takes advantage of him, that's his problem. :D I've found that in the long run our kids learn that lying is a problem when they try it on the BIG WORLD and not with us. They have no problem lying to us but an employer will fire them if they lie and/or so will a landlord and friends will drop them. They know lying is wrong because we've taught it to them but it's the life lessons from outside influences that will finally help them see the light. Suz [/QUOTE]
