A lie or not

I don't agree in keeping things from the spouse. They have a right to know the actions of their children. You could preface to your spouse that you took care of the discipline and you are just letting him know. Though, I think that most people should make sure they have ground rules for these things when children are young so that they get in the habit of sticking to the rules. I agree that no child should be disciplined twice, but that is something you will have to communicate with your husband. However, to teach your son that you won't tell dad, really isn't going to help matters later on in life.

I don't consider that lying, just not telling the whole truth. I thing I would mention what had happened, but that you had taken care of the discipline this time. Let him know the issue is over and your son knows what he did was wrong.

I don't think that is lieing to him. But I do think that your husband should know what is going on with his son. Whatever it is he needs to know and tell him that you already handled it and he doesn't need to be disciplined a second time.

hi there Good ,,that you sorted out the issue with your son, but not that your lieing to your husband ,but try to put that little issue to him ,when he is in good mood and say it indirectly ...sort of like,, say "my friends daughter or son has this little issue,,, " something like that ,,and see the response ,,, that is will he react or give solution,,, then you will know what to do next ,,,, All the best Vishwas

Mother is equally important, actually more important for the healthy growth of a child. When you are sure of your correct handling of the issue with your son, it is wise not to arouse the fire once again. In my understanding, it is not lie, may be hide is more apprepriate. You had better give your son the chance to have a serious thought about the wrong doing, so that he will not repeat in future.

No I don't see that as lying. You had handled the issue and there was no need to continue to discuss it.
