Ok, luckily I have a pretty laid back easy going 11 year old boy (his younger sister is another story) He's pretty respectful, yeah he does "talk back" sometimes, not a snotty way, just for the sake of trying to get out of doing something he doesnt want to do.
So the other day I caught him in a lie. I was seriously surprised he lied to me, he just hasnt ever been that type of kid. It had to do with homework and school and he was worried I was going to be mad about a couple test grades. I am usually laid back about that stuff as long as he TRIES. I just dont know what to do, I HATE lying, my daughter lies about stuff a lot which makes me nuts.
So, does anyone else experience this with their kids? I kinda thought if he wasnt a liar when he was younger ( I mean if you asked him if he did something wrong, hed confess)

My 12 year old daughter lies about a lot.
Lying is very normal at this age--why do they do it--good question--who knows!
