Usually, most children telling harmless lies to get out of trouble is something they do at some point in their formative years – and many parents are so worried that they have to sit their children down and tell them about the importance of being honest.
But a foreign mother recently said she was hurt by her daughter, who had lied to her since she was a child, and now that her daughter is 15 years old, the mother "still has a hard time believing her." She posted on Reddit that she had recently wanted her daughter to help her with housework, but she said she had injured her knee — a mother who thought her daughter must be lying.
She wrote: "I have a 15-year-old daughter and my husband is not in town now. But I have a lot of work to do in my yard and I really need her help. ”
"Last Friday, she told me that her knees hurt after running and she was limping. I told her how every time I needed your help, your body always seemed to have all kinds of conditions, which was really interesting! You can lie in bed all day if you want. Because it's true. ”
"My daughter has a history of pretending to be sick before to escape something she doesn't want to do. Although she hasn't done much since she was around 9 years old, I still have a hard time believing her lately when she says there's something wrong with her body. ”
Despite the mother's heartbreak, her daughter finally agreed to help her. Although the mother felt in her heart that the child could "magically get better", the next day her knees still hurt and she had to be rushed to the hospital.
She added: "She said she would help me and I told her we could take her to the hospital emergency room if her knee still hurts at the end of the yard. We worked in the yard all weekend and she complained a lot, but I was almost certain that she would magically get better before the weekend. ”
"But this morning, she said her knee hurt and she could barely walk, so I took her to the emergency room. It turned out she had actually sprained her knee. The mother then tried to get her daughter to tell the doctor that her knees only started to hurt the day she went to the hospital, but she told the doctors that she had been working with her injured knee all weekend.
At this point in the story, the mother should have apologized or confessed that she had blamed her daughter, but surprisingly, the mother did not want to apologize to her daughter, because she was still angry about her daughter's "childhood lies".
She said: "I asked her to tell them it only started to hurt today, but she said it started to hurt on Friday, so I was questioned. Luckily, nothing bad happened, but they said it would take longer to recover because she still used her knee heavily after her injury. ”
"I do feel a little guilty though, but I tell her that if she hadn't had a history of lying as a child, things wouldn't have turned out to be where they are now. She was mad at me, she told me she was in pain all weekend, and she couldn't believe I didn't trust her. ”
"Now she doesn't seem to be too interested in talking to me, but I think it's partly her fault, that she herself caused the situation where I couldn't trust her."
Commenters on Reddit couldn't believe that the mother would ignore her daughter's injuries and let her do physical work, or let her lie to the doctor, all of which were just some of the experiences she had lying as a child, planting "seeds of resentment" in the mother's heart.
Some netizens commented: "You don't believe her because she has a history of lying, and then you turn around and order her to lie?" This Tamma sounds hypocritical. Another added: "You're basically punishing her for the lies she told when she was a few years old." I want her to tell everyone how you ignore her pain. ”
