This Week’s Hot Topic: Little Lies We Tell

January 1, 2012

Parenting.com had a recent commentary by Jeannie Ralston, who confessed that she doesn’t always tell her husband the truth about everything. In her case, it was that their sons were not in bed, when her husband called home from a business trip. She is more lenient than he, so she was letting them stay up but told her husband, who was out of town, they were just having trouble falling asleep. There are lots of other things we keep from our partners: things we buy for ourselves or the kids and hide; trips to the fast-food joint for dinner, etc. The experts say it’s not an unusual habit, but one that does need to be faced.

What do you think?
