[QUOTE="Mom2oddson, post: 349932, member: 65"] Both my difficult children are chronic liars. Don't know if they are capable to actually telling the truth. Now that they are older, if I ask something and I know the answer is a lie. I don't argue. I act like I accept what they said. I know it's a lie and so do they. The consequences of thoses lies are going to be theirs, not mine. Unless they lie about something that will effect me, that's a different issue. But, if not, they have to deal. difficult child-A says that if he doesn't do his community service in the 60 days. He can, after the 60 days, decide to make $50 payments until whenever the fine is paid off. That's not what I heard the judge say, but if that's what he wants me to believe, he'll be the one in jail, not me. Step2....difficult child-S used the "just kidding" line when she was being mean. My answer was kidding is a joke like "knock, knock, who's there" anything else can hurt people. Not that it did any good, but I tried. [/QUOTE]
