I do tell a lie sometime yes my parents.I don't like to tell a lie but somethings some time i don't want to share with my parents as they will get hurt or will feel tense for me. I do live so far from my parents so usually they always think about me and small things make them very tense. That's when sometime they ask me somethings i do tell lie with them. I don't think so that it's a sin as my intention is good. So do you tell a lie with your parents. Good luck!

I do tell lie generally with my parents for a good cause but to any false matter. My parents have great hope and confidence on me, i have to achieve my goal. And i always thinking that how can i bring a good name to them?, this is only my prior task which ought to be done.

telling a lie with the parents frequently involves when a male asks to buy materials for school projects but instead for school projects, that male is planning to buy roses and chocolates in order to please her girlfriend to say "Yes" regarding his courting hahahaha

Occasionally I need to give a white lie. So as not to hurt their feelings. Like for example, my mom gave me a shirt that I don't like, I just accept it and tell her that I like it. It is more of telling lies to protect their feelings.

I don't like to tell lie to anybody. Ten commandments of God is totally against lying. So God will get angry if we tell lie especially to our parents. I might have to escape from my parents scolding, if I told lie with them.

When I was a kid, I can remember trying to lie to my parents thinking that it wouls keep me out of any trouble I might get into. It never seemed to work though because I would always end up telling the truth in the end. As I have grown, I have come to realize that regardless of what I may or may not have done, it is always best to tell the truth and be honest about it. So, now, no, I do not try to lie to my parents, or anyone else for that matter. The joke is that if anyone wants to know the truth about something, all they have to do is ask me a direct question.

I do. Sometimes they do not leave me a choice. I sometimes lie to them because they wont allow me at a paty that they know that I want to attend. Parents are too paranoid sometimes.

Of course. I do. Though sometimes it is not my intention to do so. Sometimes people have to lie for the sake of other people, right?

That type of lie is a white lie. We do that in order to appease someone or not to make someone worry so much as in your case. I too, would sometimes do that to my parents. It wasn't meant to hide a rong but just to appease them. I guess, each and every one of us have done that too.

Yes some time I tell lie with my parent but intention was not bad because in some cases they take more tension and no stressed on their so I tell lie. Generally I not tell lie anything but in some situation it is necessary and God also with me at that time.

I keep things from my parents especially if I know they'll just feel bad if they found out about it. But if they confront me, as much as I try, I can never lie to them. It's either I'm bad at lying or they have this uncanny ability of making me tell the truth.

I think everybody has told a lie one way or another to their parents. There are two kinds of lies and one of them is white lie. White lie is what we say to please somebody or when the intention is good. However the result is not always good though because even though the intention was not to hurt anybody, it is still a LIE! I have lied to my mom several times when I was a kid because I was to scared of her. My mom would eventually find out the truth and still got mad at me.

I once told a lie to my father who passed away last Oct.Three years ago father suffered from cough,doctor diagnosed the illness as lung cancer.It sounded as if It was a bolt from the blue.Taking account of the affordability of father's spirit,I told a lie.At that time I thought It is a white lie.To my joy father didn't die until last Oct.moreover he didn't die of lung cancer.It goes without saying that It is an erroneous diagnosis.

Younger days....yes I would , most children do although parents do know if kids are lying. Now I don't tell a lie, I just don't talk about it or say nothing at all. It's up to them to interpret my silence and think what they wanted to at least I didn't tell a lie.
