[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't put her in a position to lie to you.  Don't ask questions you know the answer to. (Did you put the Vaseline on? Did you brush your teeth? Did you do your homework/turn it in? Etc.)

Make statements, don't ask questions that give her an opportunity to lie.  That will encourage her to lie more.[/quote]

This doesn't work for me. I don't ask, I say "brush your teeth" and "do your homework" and the response are lies. "I did!"[/quote]

You might get a different response to “I see from xyz evidence that you have not done your homework.” [/quote]

I'm not looking for a specific response. I just want the homework done. All she really hears is "blah blah blah" anyway. But she will act like it's new information that I'm actually going to pull out her work and look at it. She thinks she's going to get away with it, every time and can't help herself.[/quote]

Ugh, sorry. That would drive me nuts. I’d be pretty pissed at the kid actually.[/quote]
