[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you piling on your nephew, OP? You are being a bully. You're his aunt. He can tell that you do not like him at all. Kids know. Stop being a jerk.[/quote]

[b]I don’t tolerate pathological lying.[/b] It’s really hurtful and so alarming. This isn’t a 17 year old lying about curfew it’s a little boy with elaborate lies to not go to school or sports to play a video game.[/quote]

Is it pathological?  I don't think it is.  Everyone lies and I'm sure you do too.  You lie to protect yourself ( of course I mailed the check!) or I didn't eat the last piece of candy!  We are talking about kids not killers.  Calm the f down.  Op isn't even the mom/dad![/quote]

I'm the pp and I found this article.  Seems that there is disagreement.

:roll: 
This article is talking about one's own child. Not a kid who is not yours at your house for a few days while his parents are away.

My kids are really well behaved and I believe that to be the luck of the draw. I would love to (and do) host my younger, rowdy nephew, come what may... and I would never diagnose him and raise red flags for this behavior, especially, when his diet, sleep, routine, etc is off. It's just so ungracious and gross.[/quote]

Why the eye roll?  So it is specific to this case but still interesting is it not?[/quote]
