Actually I don't know how people can lie to others, most importantly to our own parents. I see my friends lying to them about working but actually having fun at the mall, staying at friend's house but went clubbing. If it's me, I will feel guilty. Maybe it's because I'm a person who do not lie about big huge stuffs. I'll somehow feel guilty and will eventually blurt it out. Sometimes, we have to lie, small lies. Some lies are good lies as well such as lying about forgetting their birthday but turn out to be a surprise! All of us are not always honest.
Have you ever lie big to your parents? Is it okay?

you really should not lie to your parents this really does hurt how ever i do think that some children are so young they really do not understand the whole lieing issue.

Ive lied to my parent about having a job. I had another one at the time but they were always saying your such a good girl for keeping your job there. And the place i worked at before wasnt paying me and stuff so i quit but my parents would probably be dissapointed in me if i told them that i left another job.

it's okay. that's a 'good' lie. we just don't want to make them worry and being disappointed. but what if they found out about it?

Lying to parents has many psychological explanations but to a simple person like me, I lied to my parents because they never accepted me for what I was, they always tried to mould me as per their preconceived notions and they always insisted that I take permission from them for everything or else I was not being a good girl. In hindsight at age 35, I would not say that I was correct each and every time, but they are wrong too. And also, most people go thru a phase called ‘rebel without a cause’ …those teens and early youth days when the world seems to be at your feet and you are nothing less than Alexander the Great! Parents should be particularly understanding during these years and gently guide the children, not impose rules and regulations on them.

Yeah, parents should learn to understand their children well. But sometimes it's hard being a parent. Most of the time, their children are being influenced by their friends. Once you mix with the wrong people, that's where the trouble starts!

I have lied to my parents and I have also avoided telling them things too, I think that the majority of people lie to their parents. I know my kids lie to me, it annoys me but it is part of the process! I never felt guilty about any lies that I told to my parents, it was the only way that I could get to do what I wanted to do.

Well, i hate liars, but i am not perfect, i still do lie but pity things only. But still afterwards i tell the truth to them for i cannot hold on to it. I want to be honest all time. I do believe honesty is still the best policy. Happy mylotting.

I do hate liars as well. As a friend, I've told them that but it seems as though they don't care even a little. Thanks for responding.

I've lied to them, and sometimes I still do, but only about small stuff. I can't bear the idea that I've lied to them bigtime, which causes me to spill out the truth usually after I've said the lie. I'm not good at lying anyway, especially when I'll feel guilty about it so much.

Thanks for dropping by. Me too, I'm not a good liar. I'll somehow feel guilty about it.
