My adult DD has had a job interview and told an unnecessary, stupid lie which could come back and bite her at a later date ( It would prevent her from applying to the organisation again). When she told me this I called her stupid for doing this. Cue a tirade of abuse, screaming down the phone at me and now wants to go NC. I shouldn't have called her stupid but her reaction was, well, wow. I'm baffled as to why she told this lie as it was stupid but I'm really upset by what I see as a huge overreaction on her part. I have spoken to a couple of people about it and they are as baffled as I am as to why she lied. Just a moan really.
