[quote=Anonymous]Guys, just to clarify here.

OP raised an issue and asked a question about her MIL lying to her, specifically about her kid.  She asked whether that would bug anyone else.

On that alone, I think that almost all of us would say yes, she should be bugged/mad/mildly concerned.  Somewhere on that spectrum.

Yes, the context was about nap schedules.  But the issue is the lie.  OP is not complaining about the lack of adherence to the nap schedule, or food/sweets, or presents, or screentime, or anything else.

If it had been MIL on here saying that she is watching a grandkid and she didn't want to follow the nap schedule, I don't think any of us would be saying that she should proactively and unprompted lie that the kid was napping in real time when they weren't.  We may say that she shouldn't worry about the schedule.  We may say that she should "be vague" when asked about when the kid slept.  But we would NOT say that she should send an unprompted text message saying the kid was asleep when they weren't.
