It's really an uncomfortable situation.  My response depends on how well I know the parent.  But I'm not good at biting my tongue, so I drop hints, too.

I was always told growing up that your family are the people who know you and all your bad habits and love you anyway. Now that I am raising my step children and a foster child PLUS my own kids, I realize how true that statement is. Family are the people you turn to when you need someone to tell off because you have had a bad day and they will still speak to you when you have calmed down. And in some cases that person might not be blood related to you but it doesn't make them any less a member of your "family"

ya its absolutely fine wit not to disclose their names but i would rather suggest that if they dont hav kids then all six of u sould clarify the matter among yourself!but they hav children it would rather be better to get away to some other places so that they donot meet again in future!its necessary to do so for sake of their children!\nand as so concerned for their luv time will teach evrything!

Is the cousin who is making the outcry an adult or a teen?  If under the age of 18, you are supposed to report the outcry to Child Protective Services, even if she has a history of lying or whatever in the past.  Doesn't mean she doesn't deserve to be believed.\n\nAlso, is the alleged perpetrator around children currently?  If so you have even more of an obligation to report it, to keep those children safe.\n\nStuff like this does hurt families, but it is better to deal with the problem than to just ignore it.

My family does that all of the time! It's so annoying, it's just a way of saying what they want without getting in trouble for it. I can't really tell you when to consider it the truth disguised b/c you really just have to know the person. Sometimes it can really be a joke, but if you feel that it's just a snide remark then it doesn't really matter whether they meant it that way or not. If what they said hurts, or affends you I would say something. Like please don't joke like that, or something else. It may not always turn out the best, especially if you really did catch them, but if you don't say anything it won't stop. Good luck!

Yes tell them. They will have it on file anyway. It's best to be honest.

Everyone lies to some degree. Do you think that when you lied in the past that you had a certain look that everyone could recognize? You didn't. Only the people who knew you really well could tell you were lying, like your parents. Some people present themselves as being honest but almost all the time people find out they aren't. It is only when a person gets to know you really well, can they tell by your facial expressions and your body language that you are lying. There is no look or expression that tells other people you are telling the truth. People can tell how honest you are by getting to know you. I consider myself a pretty honest person and one of my friends told me, I was the most honest person they knew. I don't usually lie to people but on the other hand I don't always answer someone when they ask me something personal that I don't want to tell them or I think is none of their business. By not telling them, I don't think I am lying or being dishonest. I am guessing you are a kid. When you are a kid, the consequences of your lying are usually being kept in your room, not getting a toy but that depends on what you lied about. If you become an adult who lies, it could lead to much more serious consequences and once again it depends on what you lie about. You could lose a job for lying, lose your best friend. I hope you continue working on being honest. That is a good character trait to have. Hope I helped you understand.

You should be honest up front. Then take it slow. Later on when you feel comfortable you could introduce them to your kids.

My husband and I agreed, much to the dismay of my family, that we would never tell are children that Santa or the Easter bunny brought their presents.  We feel that if you lie to a child once about something as small as that, they will choose not to believe you about other more important things, they will label you a liar, and we didn't want that. Our children are fine and don't care, my son has agreed not to tell other children out of kindness, and my daughter one year decided to believe in Santa on her own, and then the next year told us he wasn't real, that mommy and daddy were Santa.  So, I guess in the end kids will figure things out for themselves.

No. \n\nI am a very honest person, but there is such a thing as tact.  I will gloss over details that I think would hurt, or put it in a gentle way but not outright lie.
