Lie or true and how to answer questions from mother-in-law

I respect for your high degree of honesty in giving the answer that such way and I put my hat down for you and your answer. But too details sometime might hurts. The "details" for that true answer that might hurts somebody. You should tell your mother this way, "he is not feeling well, mom!!!he need rest and now sleeping!!!I'm sorry, mom.". OK I hope you don't mind if I put your situation this way. As an example; why do you close the toilet door when you are in there? In fact only your husband is the other person in your house?. Mean that not all story to tell. But just only fruitful part to make acknowledgment.

I wouldn't have lied for him. I would have told her the truth too. Actually, I probably would have handed him the phone and let him handle that situation.

Irresponsible drinking is not a social drinking. One should know one's responsibility, particularly when one is married, it is sharing of all responsibilities. YOu did right thing by telling the truth. Let your motherinlaw deal with her son stright away on these issues. Truth always stands. In case if you had told her lie, next time your husband tells her mother the truth, then your motherinlaw looses trust in you. Uphold truth always.

I might have told her he was a bit tipsy. You don't have to lie, but your words can kind of play it down. I wouldn't lie because things have a way of coming to light, and it easier to remember the truth, than a lie, LOL. : ) You have quite a job to take care of your honey.

I am so terrible. If my husband had done this to me, I would have gotten him awake and handed him the phone and said, "You explain to your mother as I am very uncomfortable with this question!" Well I am very lucky because first, my husband did all of his youthful drinking at home, and second, his mother never learned English, so she was unable to ask me embarrassing questions.

Always tell the truth is what i believe in as if you lie, someday that lie will always be caught, making you land in a worse situation. And if you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear too. And i think your husband has had too much to drink, so i think he must have done this earlier too,and should take charge of his life now aftr marriage, things are seperate before marriage. And i think his mother also knew, so she asked if he was drunk, parents should have a control before mariage and wives after marriage,so that they dont cross their limit of drinking too. I think you have done the right thing and now whenever your mother in law will confront her son, it would be a dealing between them and incase you are in a tight spot with your husband, you can also show your dislike about his drinking habit, and once hes told from all the sides, am sure hed realise one day and lessen his drinking too.

well I take it she knows he drinks to have asked that question so it may have been for the best that you told the truth. but when a man gets married it is no longer his mothers business what he dose, but i guess you would have had to explain why you were not there on time .

I don't like lying so that I prefer saying the truth any were
