My mom wants me to go to my sister-in-law's house for the days she's gone out of state. Me and my mom was arguing about that.
I just want to feel grown up living by myself while she's gone. So, today, my mom went out of the state. My sister-in-law came by to pick me up, I told her I would come to her house tomorrow because I was still packing up my clothes.
I know my mom is going to call, I want to tell my sister-in-law to say to my mom that I was staying with her for the night.

You really should have talked to your mom beforehand. You should go to your sister's house like you said you would and talk to your mom about staying home the next trip.
If you lie to your mom, she will know you aren't responsible and won't trust you and probably won't let you stay home alone next time.

Much of this depends on your age. I understand the need to feel more grown-up, but keep in mind that staying by yourself for a few days is absolutely nothing like living on your own. At this point, because you haven't cleared anything with your mother, you are honor-bound to go to your SIL's house or you risk completely losing your mother's trust.
In the future, however, explain that you simply want time alone where you don't have to talk to anybody. I bet you she'll understand the feeling. Make sure you're on your best behavior so that she feels she can trust you with this responsibility in the future, and make a deal with her that you'll check in twice a day with her on the days that she lets you stay alone.

Lying to your mom is not right and not good. It is a case of very poor judgment on your part. And if your sister-in-law does lie for you, then she is very irresponsible.
Lies always come out in the end. Trust your mom and honor her decision. She is your mom and only loves you and wants your best interest at heart. Be thankful that you have a mom who cares about you and what may happen if you are left in a house alone to fend for yourself.

The sister-in-law shouldnt have to lie to your mom just because you are not where you are suppose to be. Dont ask her to be a part of your lie! Go to your sister-in-laws and have a good time. You will be all grown up soon enough.

Part of ACTUALLY being grown up is integrity. Another part is trust. Another part is understanding that choices lead to consequences.
Base your choice on trust and integrity. If you choose not to, be ready to face the consequences.
PS: Where do you get off asking your sister-in-law to compromise HER integrity so that YOU can play act at being a grownup?? I hope your sister-in-law is truthful with your Mom. Then whatever you do won't matter. Your mom will already know...

Well it really depends on how many days ur mom is going to be gone. If its for a couple then ok but if its for a week no because ur mom is just caring about ur well being and doenst want u to be home alone to cook and such talk to ur mom alittle more that u want to be treated like an adult and that u are capable of staying home by urself... once i wanted to go to a function at a club that my parents didnt want me going to soo i made a powerpoint slide show of y i should be able to go and it worked and i was able to go... maybe u should try a power point and it will show ur mom that u are responsible and really want to be on ur own while she is gone. Hope I Helped!!!

really depends how old you are!! but don't get your sister in law involved!! She shouldn't have to lie for you. That's when problems in the family start, when the lies start. You can lie to your mum if you want ,but don't get her to!!! Don't give your sister in law a hard time, if you were supposed to stay with her, just stay with her. You want to feel grown up...theres nothing grown up about refusing to leave your house and then lying about it. I am guessing you are pretty young, hence the reason your mum wants you to stay somewhere else!! Just wait til next time she goes away when you will be a bit older. If you lie to your mum about it now then next time she goes away there is no way in hell she is going to trust you !!

How can you feel grown up when you are acting like a child???
Doing something behind your Mom's back is not being an adult. Do you want your parents to lie to you??? Is that how you respect yourself and your Mom, by being a little lier?
Doing what you are is only going to make them distrust you and get you in trouble. Adults have to accept things they can't change, like it or not. So if you want to be an adult, get yourself to your sister-in-laws pronto!!

No don't lie to your Mom. And don't ask your sister-in law to either. If I was you sis-in-law I would've never left you at home to begin with. You have plenty of time to feel grown up don't push it. Besides all of us Moms find out when our kids lie.
