My ex-wife will say or do whatever provided it get her what she wants. She will either omit key information or spin information in such a way as to make it appear that she is not lying. Also, she holds me to a higher standard then she holds herself. And she tries to get me to commit to things but she refuses to commit to anything unless it is fun. It amazes me that she can get away with it. I am not sure if she does it only to me or not but I wouldn't be surprised if she did. Yet, she donates clothes to charity, she spends time with her mother and grand parents and she is a pretty good mother (even though she favors our son over our daughter). In short, I question her integrity. I know she is my Ex but I still need to deal with her until the kids are 18-years old. So it is troubling to me.

Yes you need to call her on it, or else you kids will end up learning the behavior. My mom was the same way, and she had the nerve when confronted with her lies, to say she never lies, and then she would beat us for suggesting that she lied. You need to call her out on it, preferably in front of the kids so she knows, and they know you are not stupid, and it won't happen when you are around.

Yes unfortunately, if its troubling you, you guys should have an open enough relationship to discuss what ever might be bothering you. but for the kids, try to be as nice to each other as possible, let her know how you feel without disrespecting her. she seems to be a good person, with a very big problem. HONESTY.
GOOD LUCK.

Yes, call her out on it - she's raising your kids too. Our habits good and bad our kids pick up on. By her doing it its going to teach the kids its okay to lie, and lets face it no child is 100% honest as is. No need to make it worse. Young or not kids arent dumb - they will eventually see through it, but that wont happen until theyre in their teenage years. Manipulation can only get you so far in life.......
