my grandmother is nagger. we can't do things freely because she right away become suspicious. just recently my mom arrived from abroad but we did not tell her that she arrived because me and my mom went for vacation. we did that because for sure my granny will not permit us to go. i hate this kind of alibi but we can't help it.

hi,cutepink! don't worry too much about it,that is not a big deal,I think. some elders are control freaks:),so we can deal with them in the normal way.except lying,is there anything else we can do?of course I am not encouraging lying,just sometimes we have to learn to accept it when we have to lie. have a nice day!

cutep;ink--13 why do you have to lie,won't that just make your grandmother more upset and aggressive. to me lying even to 'make another happy usually has repercussions that will just' make things worse. if she finds out you lied to her she will undoubtedly be angry. How could your granny not permit you to go? is she superwoman? no you have a right to go someplace with your mom and your grannie should not interfere. take grannie someplace with the two of you so she will not feel unwanted and maybe she will let up on the nagging. cou ld be she is lonely.

It's can be understanding for you to lie to your grandmother, and your lie was kind, for her considering, you don't let her worry about something. so don't worry on it.
