Have you ever lied to your parents?

yes, i do lied to my parents..the biggest lie that i did is when i have a bf, then i the time that we go out late at night, i always say to my parents that i will go out because there's a celebration of birthday and i'm with my friends, but honestly, theres no birthday at all and it's my boyfriend whose with me..but when the time that we broke up and he leaves me and got pregnant, i promise to my self that i never do it again to my parents, that i want to share to them all of my secrets so that they will trust me back..

For me truth is the first and foremost thing in my life, whether it's about conversation, relation or dealing with others. It has been like this since i got consciouness. So i never did nor was I able to lie to my parents specially when i was living with them. I do not lie to them even when I had started living away from them, some five years ago. But i must admit that i have to be diplomatic with them some times, specially with my mother when they are concerned about my health. The problem is that my mother has a strange sense (may be all mothers have that) which tells her that something is wrong when i get ill or injured, though rarely. She calls me to ask if i am ok! neither i reject her concern nor do i accept it. I just try to diplomatically sway her concerns. The Problem gets harder when she tells me that she has seen something happening to me, specially in case of accident and she is usually able to tell the exact details, and i find it very difficult to satisfy her with my diplomatic answer that if i were injured, would i be talking to you mom?:-). I just have to be like this because of fear that they will themselves get ill or harm their health by worries, because of their strong attachement with me.

I skipped school for two months and told my school that I was in the hospital. My mom never found out but I blamed my grades on my teachers hating me. She somehow believed me. By the way, my mom went to visit her mom in Greece because she was sick. Of course I failed all my classes, but i got high everyday with a few of my friends and had parties everyday.

I think all kids have lied to their parents at one time or another. I know that I am 42 years old and have lied to both my parents from time to time. My daughter is sixteen and has been caught in lies. The lies are not necessarily big ones but mostly for self preservation. I have later come clean with my parents and my daughter has with me. I am sure that there will be other lies for other reasons. The problem is that you must be able to own up to the lies if and when caught. My parents are having problems so my mom says one thing to me and my dad says something else and they ask what the other said and tell them I don't remember or lie. Part of life.

Heck yeah I think that is all a part of growing up. I lied about dumb little and big stuff. But now I am brutually honest with them, soemtimes too much for them.

Yes, I lie. I lie so they won't have to worry about me. I don't live in the same country as my parents. No matter how old one is, he/she is forever someone's son or daughter. Occasionalyy, I would lie to them about my health, job, and having kids, etc... I guess it's ok, as long as I don't hurt them or hurt oru relationship.

I never lied to my parents when I was growing up. Only lately when I had my own job and wanted to buy somethings and even things for my children that I start to lie to them. They live in a different decade and have different way of thinking compared to me. The lies that I often tell them are those that I consider harmless and would prevent another litany of scolding for me. Examples of the lies that I often tell are like being given shoes by my company instead of admitting to them that I bought. But if I told them that I bought them, they would start scolding me of buying things which I don't need or something on the line why should I buy another pair of shoes when I still have more than enough shoes already. I also caught my sister of doing the same as the the price of the blouses that she wears to work. She told our mother how much it costs and its very cheap but it turned out that she bought designer blouses and are priced higher. She also doesn't want to hear another lesson of buying cheaper things instead of the ones that are more expensive. I would feel bad if I would be lied to for things that really matter but if the lies are due to my close mind or stringyness, then I wouldn't mind. I just don't think the same thingking with my parents.

I admit it, yes i did. Many times already and i feel sorry about this. I know it's wrong to lie.

Yeah I always lie to my parents when it is needed.
