Is it all kids or just mine...

So more and more I'm noticing my daughter lie to me... like today I told her to shower and she pretended to take one...I asked her to unlock the door so I can pee and she was like I need to use the bathroom I told her to open it now and she did... so apparently she ran the water never took off her undies and straight up lied when I asked her abkut showering... she is only 9 years old and I'm getting fed up with the lying every day. Any advice? Tell me I'm not the only one.

I did this when I was 9. I’d like to say im a pretty good person now 🤣. I hated showering for some reason I said “it took too long”. Try to encourage her to tell you why she doesn’t like showering or why she lies so she learns to think critically about how she feels about things.

@Jackie I'm sure I did the same thing but man does she stink at the end of the day lol I told her she doesn't need to wash her hair everyday but she should rinse off cause she plays hard at school to where her pits stink lol and I can't let her go out like that 🤣

My 10 year old lies all the time. Some of it is like why lie about that? It drives me insane. I tell him it makes me feel like he's calling me stupid and it hurts my feelings. I've explained that I get more hurt about the lie he's told me vs whatever he has done. I know he loves and care for me. I just don't get it either.

The lying is not cool! I wonder why she does it.

@Danie the lying about nothing is what drives me insane.. and I let her know if you can lie about the little things how am I supposed to believe you with the big things. I give her everything and it's starting to feel like I'm getting taken advantage of and I'm being walked all over. Idk but somethings got to give... I take away her things and she still does it like the consequences mean nothing to her

@Jackie definitely not especially when I give her the option to not wash her hair everyday 🙄... she be lying about the littlest things too like it's cool or something

Lol oh geez I thought it was just my nephew 😅 both my niece and nephew stayed over their break at our place and right away I asked if they shower/bath by themselves or if they need help with hair stuff. Especially for my neice, her hair is looooong but both said they can do it themselves now is was cool I thought, I alway took care of em since babies so I used to bathe them all the time. Anyways since I have my own baby now knowing they can do it themselves was a huge help I thought. My neice no problem, she showered and afterwards I'd brush her hair so it wouldn't tangle. My nephew tho, I didn't put much attention to him after his bath lol the second week they were there I noticed his hair dry and his towel I gave him to "dry off" was also dry lol I asked him like what happened and he said I dried my hair super good 💁 lol boy the towel is bone dry 😅 I asked my brother if he does that and yeah he said I still needed to help him with his head/hair because he always hated having water on his face, hes 9 also

Long comment 😅 sorry lol

The little things for real! It's not impressive and it's annoying. I hate it but he tells me things and I just hold back the eye roll because I don't believe him. He gets all kinds of offended when I don't believe him, like I'm at fault. But I just explain over and over it's hard to believe anything you say. And how am I to help you? I want to help and protect you but I can't if your lying to me all the time. I have thought that it's because he is 50/50 and his dad and I can not co parent at all. So their is no communication. But I don't know how to make it better.

I went through a phase of unnecessarily lying as a kid. She should grow out of it. Tell her if she lies she can’t expect honesty out of others. And it would hurt her feelings to be lied to. But it’s just a little rebellious phase. Swear she willll grow out of it.

@Danie we have the same kid I swear mine is just a female version.. I hold back the eye roll or that tone I use when I know you are lying lol... mine get offended and says you never believe me! Lol my response is and whose fault is that... we in the same boat... it's hard to tell my kid I don't believe her because she lies all the time because like you said you do want to and support them but it's like how? I was wondering if therapy would but she is so against it and I'm afraid she just gonna lie and manipulate the therapist

@Yaya I pray she does cause it's gonna be real hard to keep up with all them lies. Especially as she gets older

@Luz at least your nephew has an excuse ... mine is just lazy and rather watch TV even though she stinks 🙄

Oh damn I can't believe I haven't thought of that. My son is in therapy. 😔 What's he saying about me. I have brought up the lies to her, not much has changed. He also gaslights me too. Which really messes me up. I brought that up with her too. Now I'm in a thought of what if they therapist believes him and thinks I'm crazy and lying. Maybe we can get our kids together and they could lie to each other until they don't like the feeling anymore and stop. 😁

@Danie it's so scary how these kids are that manipulative already at such a young age... and it's super hard cause my kid also gets in trouble at school too ugh... but for real maybe they should get together and just lie lol or maybe it would be worse cause they condone in each other's behavior lol then we really are in trouble

Yeah that's a good point. Them tag teaming the world, like the joker and Harley Quinn. 😊

If she really really hates showering you could try offering her a reward for doing it? Lol

I completely understand. I regret giving my mom so much trouble as a kid. She was a single mom and just trying her best. Yall are gonna be best friends you watch. Then it’s gonna be hard for her to lie to you. That’s how I am with my mom. I just can’t lie to that sweet little face anymore. I’m an open book. But that’s simply because my mom can see RIGHT through me I couldn’t lie nowadays if i wanted to. 😔

@Danie lol 😆 I hope not but who knows maybe they will get into politics

@Yaya I hope we become best friends ... I would want nothing more
