My 3 year old son is taking after his father...?

If you are with a man who lies all the time then ofcourse your child will pick up on. The child will think it is ok because he hears his dad do it plus he hears you not do anything about it.

Take a break from this man who lies all the time, tell him he needs to sort out his lying & then return to him once he understand why it is wrong to lie. If he won't make this change then it is up to you. But I know don't many woman who would want to be with a man who lies.

Keep in mind if a person lies about just one thing then why won't they lie about other things?

I grew up with a mom who lies. She still does. She lies to make things work for her and get her own way.

As a kid she would tell me "Ok, this is what I am going to tell him. I know it is not true but don't say anything. I want to get my money back what I bought." I'd then go to the store with her and watch her lie. She'd even work me into the lie saying "Right, honey?" or something like that.

Do you know how hard it is to grow up with a parent who lies? She often lied to me. Right to my face. She'd even tell my dad to lie to me in front of me. She would say something like "Just tell her that so she will shut up."

By my teens I lied too. I could convince anyone of anything. Even if it was a lie. I could tell you a pink elephant flew across the room, why & how. I could tell you why you didn't see. The lie would be so big and detailed you'd believe me. I learned from my mother. So I was good at it.

Even when I got married I lied to get my way with my husband. It "worked" for my mom so why not work it for me too.

It was during years of therapy did I learn the damage my mom did.

I HATE lies. There is no reason for any one who loves you to look you in the eye and lie.

My mom and sister often make lies up together. While seeing with my family for Christmas dinner one night my mom casusally siad to my sister "So, what are you going to tell (my sisters husband) to tell his boss about the party you don't want to go to?" My sister then said "Oh, we have already said it. We told them (my name) & her family was coming to visit."

Well, my kids just happened to be at the table. My 10yr old son looked up at my sister and said "You are going to lie to (his uncles name) boss? WHY?"

My mom & sister looked at us like we had three heads. My sister didn't want to go to the Christmas party because she actually already had plans. Could she say that to the boss? No & I have no idea why. So she makes up a lie to cover it.

My point is my kids now know their grandma and aunt lie. They too now feel they can't trust them.

If you can't trust your sons father then why in the world are you still with him??? Also your son is picking up his bad habits.

While some say it is normal for a 3yr old to tell a little lie it may so but the child also needs to learn lying is wrong. Your son will never learn that if he hears his daddy lying all the time.

EDIT - those who think a 3yr old lying is no big deal you need to look at the whole picture. This user posted a question this morning about her husband claiming a hospital visit. The question clearly shows lack of trust and worry. This is the kind of lies this little boy is growing up with.

Carra,

It is normal for 3 year olds to lie. Okay? Your child is not doomed for life, he is not going to become a pathological or habitual liar just because his father is, nor is he going to be that way just because he is lying to you at 3 years old.

Children lie. Prepare for many more years of him lying. There is no such thing as a child who is 100% truthful with their parents. He's 3 years old and barely has a frame of reference of the world at this point.

edit: A little over a year ago he was either 1 or 2 years old. He must have had one hell of a vocabulary when he was barely even a toddler, to form "quite elaborate" lies. Again: Kids tell lies.

@Faith: I never said lying was okay. I said it was normal and that the OP is overreacting. There is no way at THREE YEARS OLD that someone can determine lying as a learned behavior from his habitually lying father.

Edit: Faith, again, I never said lying was okay. "Those who think" please, dude, I'm the only other person who has answered so far. I'm not saying that the OP is making up stories here, I'm simply saying that it is far, far too early to definitely say that a small child's lies are the result of his father.

Both my boys are circumcised, so I do not suppose there's whatever flawed with it. At 22 months despite the fact that, often no longer a well suggestion. He will suppose plenty of agony, he's going to be tugging at him, and it'll simply be a nasty enjoy for all. I could wait till he is a young person after which allow him make a decision. I did become getting my moment son performed whilst he was once eight months historical. He had plenty of disorders at start so i did not wish so as to add to it. Then whilst he was once two months historical I known as to get it performed. They stated i needed to wait till 6 months historical in view that he was once over 10 kilos. When I known as again at 6 months, the following to be had appointment wasn't till two months. He needed to move to the clinic to get performed, received a little bit robe on and an iv. They needed to positioned him to sleep for it and use a scapel. Let's simply say that if my husband wasn't so for buying it performed, I do not need performed it. It took plenty longer to heal than my first son who received it performed at three days historical. It was once a nasty enjoy. Anyway, I could simply allow him make the choice.

and you think you gone take my son from me try it we done an im taking custody of my son
