Sometimes, I lie to my children about something which they should not know. Such as, what the cause I and my husband are fighting, how much we have money in a certain time, etc. I do it to my older daughter. I know, it is not good maybe. But, it is impossible I talk the truth.
How about you? How often you lie to your children?

When you lie to your children about anything all you are doing is teaching them that it is ok to lie...
That it is ok to be dishonest....
That is one of the things that is so wrong with this world.. So many lies, and dishonesty. in people, and it is being taught to kids everyday when they are so young....How are they to know that it is wrong to lie when their parents say it is ok to do it...Because their parents do it.....
One lie leads to another lie..and then the truth is lost....

@srisahara One of Gods 10 Commandments is do not Lie...Not to make excuses to do it...Their are ways to explain things to children without lying to them...about any situation...The truth is the best way....and like Jesus said the truth will set you free.
Teaching children to lie is from satan....it is pure Evil......

Yes, you are right. But, in some cases I can't say the truth, because they still too young to know the cases. I try to tell the truth if the cases are okay to know by them.

I usually just tell my son that it's not something I want to discuss with him, instead of lying to him. We did do Santa and the Easter Bunny at our house. But otherwise I make a pretty strong effort not to lie to him. If I want him to be honest with me, I should be honest with him.

Yes, you are right. Sometimes I do it too. But, when my daughter still want to know about something, whereas she should not know about it, forced...I lie..

I don't believe in lying to my children and that is why they trust, respect and love me, even when we don't agree.

If we lie to the children, they will find out one day and think that it is OK to lie, so how can we trust them?
In some cases it can be better not thell them everything, but still stick to the truth.

I lie to the child as much as she didnt hear what i told her like not to touch harmful stuff or doing wrong things but they tease you back and just giggle at you while you are so worry if the child is harming herself. My niece is an active toddler and she just want to open any box or drawer and mess with the stuff... we love her but sometimes we loose our patience and shout at baby. I lie that theres ghost there or showing an ugly pic of man wearing mask i downloaded in internet to scare her and telling her if she is keep naughty we will bring her to that man in mask.

Sometimes we speak little lies to the kids so they will behave or for whatever good reason. But me, I think it is always good to avoid lying.

Okay, thank you for your opinion. I will consider it. I think it is okay we do not tell all about to our children as long as it for to create good situation in our family.
Have a nice day! God bless you...
