[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 687659, member: 18958"] Darkwing. Why do you lie? Do you know? My son lies a lot, but less lately. When I asked him last time, he said he just didn't want to be such a ":censored2:-up." He gets tired of seeing himself and having us see him as blowing it. He seems to be lying at least some of the time to preserve his self-esteem. Which, actually, makes sense to me. I see Lil's son as lying to preserve his autonomy. Also a good thing, I think. But of course we would want our sons to feel autonomy and self-esteem without the need to lie. But it is not about us, is it? [/QUOTE]
