I've got a new post up on
Her View From Home this week encouraging mamas to give themselves grace. Here's a teaser:
"Mom, J was saying mean things about you and dad yesterday on the bus. He told people you say the F-word and that you don't feed him for five days. He's lying. He lied."
I can always count on my daughter to be honest. But, for the love, we were six blocks form the kids' school, running late, and my coffee was cold. At that moment, I didn't have the emotional capacity to process something so significant.
Immediately, from the back seat, J piped up, "Someone ELSE said that about their parents. Not me."
I tried to remain calm while also, politely, call BS on my son who frequently takes creative liberties with the truth. A few seconds later, when he realized I wasn't going to believe his lie, he caved.
"Well...I said it, but it was about my BIRTH parents."
