Quote of the week -- from 11 year old daughter . . . . "Mmmmm, yeah, Mom, that probably never really happened, did it?" |
Hmmmm, Here is a good one. My XAH and I just short sold the home we built together. I discussed with the boys that the house was selling and that their Dad would be moving. They said they knew because he told them he got a million dollars when the house sold. Really! I guess if you are going to tell a fish stoy make it a whopper. He lies all the time. I am starting to think he cannot tell the difference. My biggest concern is that my youngest has started getting "creative" with his telling of events..... Sigh. |
The lies, half truths and empty promises are very difficult for us as adults but for those precious little ones ~ they can make scars forever ~ The thing I try to reassure my granddaughter of so often is that all of this really has nothing to do with her ~ that it's not just her that he's lying too and it's nothing she has done that deserves his behaviors ~ And most all that it's not ok to tell another lie to cover up for him ~ we don't have to say anything mean or negative about him, but we don't have to make something up either. Hopefully we can stop the codie behaviors before they start ~ Taking it one day at time here too! pink hugs! |
