My SD is 11. She is/has developed this awful habit of lying. Long story short, I was grounding for her lying. She became mad. She was calling her mom to tell her how mad she was. Then she proceeds to text her friend about how much I am not her mother. That I wish I had her. Then she says how she is going to go off on me and smack me. I took the phone from her this is how I saw these messages. I confronted her about this and she proceeds to lie more. Saying that she was not talking about me. But in the same breath, she is crying her eyes out. Her dad becomes involved at this point and punishment is rendered. Of course, now I am the cause of her dad being mad at her and now she has no cell to call her mom. Oh, did I mention that her mother refuses to call our house? So since she has no cell, she will only be talking to her mom when she sees her. Everything is always my fault.
