Nothing massive, but little white lies.
Stupid things for example he asked if he could have a Malteaser after lunch and I said ok but just the one; he finished the packet and put the empty packet back in the cupboard and swore blind he only had one, eventually had to ask everyone one else - all adults - in the house if they'd finished them (just to figure out if DS was fibbing or not). Only after everyone had denied it did DS finally admit he'd eaten the few that we're left.
All that I could think of was that he buy another packet with his pocket money, but he doesn't really care.
Obviously eating the Matleasers isn't the issue, it's the lying about it that is problematic, but I never know what to do and my trust in him is rapidly diminishing, as the lies are more and more frequent. His father (ExDP) is a compulsive liar and and don't want DS to be the same so does anyone have any pointer for me?
Thank you for reading this far!
