Quote From: queentweenBTW- Dr Phil folks- I don't like the new format of message boards- little smiley faces seem ridiculous when you are talking about real issues- and isn't Dr Phil all about getting real?????
Anyway, there may be a hundred reasons why your mother is lying about money to your father- maybe he can't save, or maybe she is gambling away the family fortune. Maybe she is stashing money to run away from an abusive relationship or maybe she wants to take everyone on a surprise cruise. Talks to her if its such a big deal to you. I will admit, I lied to my husband who goes through money like water, and told him I was buying just stuff, while I was packing it away in savings. I finally told him, and he seemed pleased to hear that we had 30K in the bank. But it was hard to keep it from him....
That is exactly what I was going to say! There could be a hundred reasons why she is lying about money.......
But what is she lying about? Is she spending it? Is she saving it?
I would talk to her, but remember, it is really non of your business. I believe it was Dr. Phill that said once about cheating, if you know someone is cheating it is non of your business to tell that person. (which I dont' really agree on!)
If she is spending money and leaving her household short on bills and groceries and the lights are being disconnected then it might be different and you should talk to her.....
