[quote=Anonymous]I agree with PPs said, tell her you knew it and leave it at that. Sometimes white lies are a way to avoid confrontation. Ever since I was a kid I don't like to put on skin products. My mother would put lotion on me and I would squirm and cringe. Let's assume your daughter is like that, would she start a fight about not putting on Vaseline? Or she just lie and get this issue over with? My mother watched me like a hawk when I was young and nothing escapes her. As a result I got a habit of lying starting around 7-8. I am not blaming your daughter's behavior on you, but reflect to see if her lying has some cause to it. and next time just say "your lip is dry, maybe you should put on vaseline" and leave it at that, don't make her to put on vaseline if she doesn't want to. It's her body after all. [/quote]
