I guess they think just because they were little once and they probably lied 2 their parents they think that we will do the same. Sometimes it's bad because u r trying 2 tell the truth but they just won't listen.

Parents do not always believe children because they are not naive. Parents were young too once and they did the same things. You know the saying been there done that? Well this saying applies to parents as well.
Sometimes it is better just to tell your parents the truth and work something out. You know compromise.

Usually what children don't realize, is that parents were young once. History repeats itself, time and time again.....as the children think they're getting away with something, only to find out that they have been caught by the parents......who probably did the same thing, or heard of it when they were children. Mostly the parents know all the tricks and excuses.....

I believe my children. I have always given my children respect and they respect me. I understand there have been times when they have not been so honest with me, but who has not lied at some time or another? I do not condone a lie but I understand as people we make mistakes. I trust my children and if they lie to me I call them on the lie and explain the consequences to telling lies.
I would like to add for whoever it was who gave me a thumbs down for my answer.......I have two teen agers, 19 and almost 15. My son is 19 and currently in study to become a pastor. My daughter,almost 15, is in a Christian band with her brother. They DO NOT lie to me at their age, if they are doing something that would require a lie there is too much guilt. They RESPECT ME!! They are not me when I was younger, I cannot apply my entire young life to who they are. I understand what it is like to be young, I know what I used as excuses to do what is wrong. Honestly, going by the world and most teenagers are, being raised in day care and some public school system completely lacking morals, those children cannot stand up to my children. They are not perfect people but they are moral and your tax dollars will not be put towards the deliquncy of my children. I trust my children it is too bad so many parents out there can't. Do your job as a parent and perhaps that would change.

Because we have been there and done that. I know children think their parents were born old and never had a life. I have to tell you, we all had lives before we had children and had to give them up to raise children. And we know exactly what is going on, we know the lies children tell to get to do things they know their parents don't want them doing. We did it, we made mistakes and we don't want our children to make the same mistakes, especially when they can be saved from it by listening and realizing that their parents were young once.

because a child has mostly a self interest. and do things to fill that self interest. and this means not being truthful, of straight with their parents, Most children believe that they tell their parents what they believe the parents want to hear, so we get half truths or exaggerated stories, . This is of course coming from a parent, as you mature you will be given more and more opportunities to be truth full, and it is up to you to follow through

Parents don't believe children because children have a reputation of lying as a group. So until you can proove to your parents that you are not a lier, (it may take a while)they will think you are just a normal child who lies. Like a majority of children do.

Unless they give you a reason not to, why not believe them. They look up too you to guide them. And if they don't have you believing in them or trusting them, then they will never believe in themselves or trust anyone. People need to take time out and listen to there children and it they think they fibbing then take more time to straightening it out tell you get the whole story!

Like all people you have to read between the lines. Children like to stretch the truth. I believe mine though I know when they are fabricating.
