When your children are calling your X to "TELL" on you? And they streach the truth a bit much?

Well,if it's the X,it wouldn't matter to me unless the kids are saying I robbed a bank or killed someone.

Depends on what they say actually. Some kids have found out if they tell the other they get more attention that way. Best to try to ignore it since its the "X"

That's funny, nervesgone. What did they say?!

No Good Answer for that one.Guess it depends how far it was stretched.

remove their phone privileges?

i know that such untruths can really make things difficult...the other parent can use anything said as ammunition.

make certain you don't do anything tattle-worthy, and then be prepared to calmly explain the rest.

first, are you on even ok terms with your ex? In other words can you sit down together and discuss things as rational adults and remember they are the children, lol?
If so, the set up a "parenting date" with your ex, and explain what is really going on, and get yourself and your ex both on the same track, so that the child(ren) can not play one against the other.

if this is not an option, the you could do any number of things, bur outright restricting them from contacting their other parent can get you into a lot of trouble and cause them serious mental health issues in the long run. At most I would suggest keeping conversations supervised at all times.

my children talk to their father maybe twice a year. i'll be damned if they tattle on me...

there's nothing stating that he has phone privileges with his children, therefore i can't be in trouble.

i would smile and tell my kids that when they have calmed down and can have a proper conversation with their father, then they can call. the phone is a privilege, not a right...no matter WHO they wish to speak to.

Oh well, it was nothing very important. Just about their choices of things to do!!

The choice they made and then the one they didn't get to do!

LOL

LOL! I still have a couple years to go before my daughter turns into a Satanic teenager. She's 4 months old and I'm cherishing every moment!

roll of duct tape...keys to the trunk of your car. Any more questions??~~~~

OH WHAT THE HELL!!! give her some really GOOOOD STORY..i mean the mind fark kind of good tale to tell that X. Sit back and LMAO!!! at the outcome!!!!

You gotta let it roll off... unless something Homeland Security would be alerted to Depending on the age...some may ~talk~ for the attention, revenge, or all around bad genes from the parent they are talking too LOL

Let it go and remember to pick the battles....

i say whip em, whip em good!!!

As long as its not Criminal I Smile ear to ear as say SO....

vivalosdodgers is right!

my son told the school a whopper and i had to deal with child services.Not all lies are funny.He was mad because he was grounded so told the school i threatened to kill him...Believe me ,we had a lovely talk about lying.

Kids are the world greatest manipulators

Turning one parent against the other is common, state your stand and ignore your x. Put some firm limitations on the phone use, and what they talk about and to whom. I know kids can come up with some tall tales. Hope you stop the talk before it gives legal problems. My x took me to court because my son said he didn't have a bed and was made to sleep on the floor lol
No matter what i said he thought he had me hung, and went for full custody. Mind you my son was only 6 at the time. My son said he did it cuz he missed daddy.Lord knows what else he said!
It caused us alot of tears and heart ache.
Be careful.
