[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am #blessed because I was such a great liar as a child that I should have won awards, but my daughter is a terrible liar. I refuse to tell her how I know she's lying - she always wants to know so she can argue with me.

I would tell your daughter to come home immediately and never tell her you saw her Snapchat but also never let her "go for a run with a friend" again unless you're there, driving them to a track and watching them from your car. And I'd say, "Next time you want to meet up with boys, just tell me and invite them over. Don't lie about it like you did last time." [/quote]

Same here! My parents were strict, and I didn't get into a lot of trouble, but I was good at lying. My kids have a tough time lying -- they both had experiences where I caught them early on and impressed how it is much worse than whatever they've done. I try to be cool/understanding about as much as I can, but I have no tolerance for lying.

I trust my kids with their guy friends, but that is partly because neither is interested in boys. I have a lot of trust in my kids in general. They are both pretty earnest for teens and enjoy our close relationship, so they are careful not to screw it up.[/quote]
