She totally does. It makes me so angry. Isn't that too young?
Today she lied over the course of 15 minutes.
I was walking up to the door with the baby on one arm and a handful of groceries in the other. The heavy groceries. Milk and eggs and such.
She slammed the door right as I got to it and when I came in said she didn't do it. She blamed Jackson who was in the living room under a blanket.
I kind of freaked out and sent her to her room. I didn't know what else to do in the moment. This is where you come in. How do I teach this concept of lying to her in a way that she can understand and grasp?
So then I set everything down and went in the room to feed my screaming baby. I came back out and half my soda was gone.
I asked who did it and they both said neither of them did it. So I told them they couldn't have snacks that we had just bought at the store. Jackson said "I didn't do it mommy. Maybe it was Jesus." lol. I laughed outloud. He's been talking a lot about Jesus lately. On a side note he asked me who made the bad things in the world. I told him it was Satan, or the devil. And so now he asks about Satan the Devil. lol. Again, I'm laughing outloud. It's cute. Anyway, Sadie continued to say she didn't do it and Jackson finally told me Sadie did it. And I believe him. Cause he isn't quite into the lying as much.
Please help me before I turn into the earthy human woman version of Satan the Devil.

Oh geez. I don't know what to tell you. I have just about had it with the constant fighting going on over here. Wanna trade? I will tell Sadie that if she lies, God will punish her. And you can tell my boys that it makes Jesus cry when they fight.
ReplyDeleteBwahaha, I am going to hell.
Lying is a psychological milestone! Not that that makes it ok or easy for a parent to deal with. but it shows self-awareness and willfullness or something. I dont really know.
