*Sighs*

My youngest nephew lied to me today about his school assignment. I have rarely ever been so disappointed. The really sad thing is, it wasn't even a complicated assignment. It would've taken us ten minutes to do. He said he'd already done it at home with his mom. Sometimes he does that, so I had no reason to suspect he was not telling the truth. When she asked if we'd gotten it done, I felt like an idiot. Turns out, he had told her that he wanted to do it with me, but he told me they'd already done it and it was at home. I feel really sad and hurt that he lied to me about it. I know kids do that sometimes to try and get out of things, but still, it made me feel awful. My sister and I both reprimanded him, but it made me feel like I'd failed somehow. I still feel awful about it.

You are not responsible for his behavior. You didn't fail. You did the responsible thing and asked. It is then his job to tell you what you need to know. Until your super powers kick in, mind reader you aint.

Trust is fragile

I think you shouldn´t feel bad or like a failure. He lied and now you will draw the consequences and will not trust his statements, so he has to learn that trust is fragile and has to be earned. I would like to give you a hug(((you)))))
