if i get caught and know i can't get out of it, i would admit it. luckily my mom is a conservative who didnt live much so it was easy as fuck to lie to her. I havent had to outright lie much besides with my mom or maybe stepdad. ive had a couple times where something was found out about me, but i hadnt actively lied i was just keeping it a secret. which is sort of a lie but less direct.
if i had kids i would lie to them for sure though. and im sure they would lie to me.
What would you lie to your kids about?
i honestly can't even think of an example because im never going to have them. but i feel like something would come up that they were curious about and id have to squash it, at least temporarily.
Why will you never have kids?
i just don't want the responsibility and i have a lot of anxieties already that i don't want to add to. my mom would stay awake all night worrying about my sister(i feel like she didn't do this as much with me, a male) and i get those same worries about all kinds of things that arent children(sometimes its just about my cats when i go on a trip). if i had kids id probably need anti anxiety meds. im an uncle to 6 kids through family, and 2 through a brother from another mother, that's fine for me.
Would you have kids if you were an only child?
if im the same person, probably not. but it's hard to go back in time and undo having 4 sisters lol. id be a different person in some way. Hypotheticals will always be weird to me.
