So my 10 yo son has been away from me for quite some time (several months, foster care for lying in school about when he fell off his bike and was in school picking with his scab, but told the nurse he was being punched on at home) After investigation, and realizing how much he has lied and changed his stories with so much different information, now he's back and I'm not sure if something happened to him or not while he was away but I've questioned it. I've asked and he hasn't told me anything. He lies constantly about the smallest of things and it bugs me out. I've tried everything. Taking away privleges, interventions, and he just continues to lie over the most silly things. For example. I told him to get cleaned up in the shower and get dressed. I got dressed without showering. When I asked him if he showered he lied straight to my face and told me that he did. Then changed the story and said he didn't know he had to take a shower. It annoys me because it happen so much over every little thing. I asked if he took a nap because I can clearly tell he was sleep when he got dropped off and he told me no. I asked him again to tell the truth and he swore up and down that he didn't take a nap. There's no reason to lie. I feel bad that I'm growing disgusted with my child about his behaviors but I really can't stand liars. His teacher is telling me the same thing about his dishonesty and says it's growing out of control. I don't know what to do anymore. And again I've tried almost everything I could. Plus he only hangs with little girls. I don't want to stand in the way of my child's freedom but I question why he doesn't hang with boys. Everywhere we go, he just hangs with girls. I'm going to love my child regardless but I'm just venting because he's starting to have a lot of female tendacies that I don't personally like. I just need help with dealing with this problem because it's becoming overwhelming for me to deal with. Especially when I don't know what to do anymore. Any pointers??
