Would you lie for your kid(s)?

Would you lie for your kid to keep him out of trouble?

[Partial Qualifier]

Tough question.

I mean the obvious answer is 'no', and for me that would apply to 99.9% of all "trouble" situations -- but in a situation where he might be put to death if I don't lie? Sheesh.

I just pray I'm never faced with that situation

I would most likely lie to save their lives, but I'd think long and hard about it if they'd killed my grandchild.

[My Opinion Matters]

I am surprised by this revelation that you are a grandmother.

[royalfan5]

Depends if I liked my kid or not.

[soonerchk]

I am surprised by this revelation that you are a grandmother.

No, but my brother is now a grandfather as of 5 yesterday.

[Tin Cup]

No!

[jk the sooner fan]

for me it depends on the circumstances - if its something minor - then possibly

if its something serious or felonious - nope

[oumartin]

pft, my kids and I are all the time stretching the truth to keep them outta trouble with their mom.

Now legal trouble would be different but probably depended on the severity

[StoopTroup]

I think when you say Kid....you include "Your +20 year old Kid who didn't tell you where your Grandchild was for 30 Days, Lied to the Police and said you raped her when she was a Child".

In that case....I highly doubt it.

In the case of my 8 year old Son.....

No. I think it's important to not teach kids to lie.

We shouldn't be bad examples.

[soonersweetie]

Most of the time no. I think life can teach valuable lessons. If it's something where the punishment doesn't fit the crime and the kid, is well, still a kid (say under 16), then I might lie to keep him/her out of an uncalled for punishment

[SoCaliSooner]

If it's my kids word against a mexicans, then yes....everytime.

Other than that, no.

[SanJoaquinSooner]

My kid had nothing to do with that car jack in the bathroom. I swear.

[Thaumaturge]

No one has any compunction about lying to their kids (i.e., telling them there's any justice left in the world!!), so why not lie for them, huh?

[delhalew]

I would like to say no, but I get the feeling that I would strangle a fugger with my bare hands for my kids...so, probably.

[Peach Fuzz]

If it gets my willy wet...

[okie52]

If it's my kids word against a mexicans, then yes....everytime.

Other than that, no.

Well if it was my kid committing a crime against an illegal then I would feel compelled to lie for him as a public service.

Now if it was against an American citizen then heaven forbid.

Here is a tip to stay out of prison: try your hardest not to be black, or hispanic.

Mexicans can produce more witnesses than anybody that their little gangster criminal killer was in a church praying and completely innocent of any crime.

[Aldebaran]

Fact: Criminal killers should be treated like he/sheroes. Someone should kill them.

[3rdgensooner]

My kid is better behaved than I am, so a more pertinent question might be "would she lie for me"?

[Aldebaran]

or... Has she lied?

[sooneron]

I used to be a firm believer in the NO camp, my Dad solidified this for me. A few years back, my brother was busy being pretty worthless- drinking every night- living at home (prolly why he was drinking every night). One night while driving home drunk, he hit a landscaping trailer that was parked on their street. (Still not sure what it was doing there at 2AM, but whatevs) My dad heard the noise from their bedroom and went down and eventually took the heat for the mishap, saying that he was driving my brother home and was tired blah blah blah. Well, suffice it to say, my brother should have taken the fall for it, he didn't hit rock bottom for almost another year til he dried up and started to slowly get his **** together. My dad should never have done that. The best thing for him would have been to deal with the repercussions then. Instead, he lost another year and got away with something that he shouldn't have.

[3rdgensooner]

or... Has she lied?Not as far as you know.

[Aldebaran]

Does your dad love your brother more than you, sooneron?

[Thaumaturge]

Taking the fall for someone else is Christ-like.

[Aldebaran]

That's not for me to say. That's not for me to say. That's for others to say if I remind them of Jesus.

[sooneron]

Does your dad love your brother more than you, sooneron?

Doesn't apply in this case. My brother is my half brother, I am sure that my step mom had a BIG hand in making sure that her "baby" didn't get in trouble.
Frankly, I was surprised that my Dad did it. He can be be a pretty big wuss on being tough these days, I guess.

[Thaumaturge]

Remember the 5th Commandment!

[rekamrettuB]

Why not? You lie to your kids.

[soonerchk]

My kid is better behaved than I am, so a more pertinent question might be "would she lie for me"?

Your kid is better behaved than 90% of the people I know.




I really hope I can count on her as a character witness.

[SoCaliSooner]

Your kid is better behaved than 90% of the people I know.

I would like to know her, but her lying mother keeps her from me.

[soonerchk]

I would like to know her, but her lying mother keeps her from me.

I let The around my niece and look how that turned out.:eek:

[3rdgensooner]

I would like to know her, but her lying mother keeps her from me.You'd just sick Zoolander on her.

[My Opinion Matters]

nm

[jk the sooner fan]

First, I have some preliminary questions: Why are we asking this question? Is it to compare our children to someone else? Is this person a grandfather? A veteran?

owns a message board?

[SoCaliSooner]

You'd just sick Zoolander on her.

You would like that. We could be a real family.

[soonerchk]

You would like that. We could be a real family.

Uncle Daddy?

[Adrian]

That's not for me to say. That's not for me to say. That's for others to say if I remind them of Jesus.

I can honestly say you have never reminded me of Jesus...

[soonerchk]

I can honestly say you have never reminded me of Jesus...

Have you seen pictures of his cascading hair? Just sayin.

Have you seen pictures of his cascading hair? Just sayin.

Well, if you're gonna get all shallow and superficial on me...

[okie52]

I am sure in our judicial system illegals can testify in court without fear of deportation....its the American way.

[soonerchk]

Well, if you're gonna get all shallow and superficial on me...

How else would I be?

[Aldebaran]

I can honestly say you have never reminded me of Jesus...

Not even when I had the picture of me riding a dinosaur for an avatar?

[3rdgensooner]

You would like that. We could be a real family.
Your gun-toting surfer clan and my book-toting okie clan would probably not blend seamlessly.

Your peeps could read books about guns and surfing....and my peeps could learn to shoot books.
