Could there be some middle ground here for Texas Mom and Lazs?

[Ripsnort]

Apparently women are liars. And do so to survive. I can't help but think of "survival of the fittest" concepts here.

Most females lie "more cleverly and successfully than men" about everything from cheating on their spouses and shopping binges to barhopping and facelifts, according to a new book published this week.

"Women lie as a survival technique, but also to get what they want," Susan Shapiro Barash, author of "Little White Lies, Deep Dark Secrets: The Truth About Why Women Lie," told the New York Post.

Barash interviewed 500 women nationwide and found 75 percent lie about how much money they spend, while more than 60 percent admitted to cheating on their husband.

Motherhood came in second, followed by sex, their kids' accomplishments, love, family, addiction, work and infertility.

But admitting to cheating on their husband isn't lying... it's admitting.

I wasn't aware that mom and I had much of a problem with each other.

I never had any problem with you at all Lazs. But I still got a kick out of it.
*edit* just roll with it & call me a liar. I'm so good at it that none will know what it is that I'm lying about.

I don't believe that the message here is that all women are liars.   But instead, that the best liars are clearly women.

If you had ever gone through a divorce with an ex-wife, you would know this for a solid fact already.

There are some good male liars.   Men like Scott Peterson and Drew Peterson come to mind.   ( It still freaks me out that these two scumbags have similar names ).

Isn't admitting to cheating on their husbands the same as admitting to lying to their husbands?

They lie about how they feel about motherhood ie how difficult it is, how stressful it is. ..

Stuff like that

That is not at all true.  Manson was not present at these murders.  He gave orders to his followers to go out and kill, but said nothing about doing what was done to the pregnant Sharon Tate.  He had never even seen her himself.  

He was actually never convicted of murder himself.  Instead, he was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder.   And under California law, he was subject to the same penalty as murder.

Manson follower Susan Atkins confessed to another jail inmate after her arrest that it was she who killed and mutilated Sharon Tate with a knife, and that was used in court to help convict her of the murder.  Manson follower Patricia Krenwinkel was busy killing coffee heiress Abigail Folger at the same time, and follower Tex Watson was busy killing both of the men: Roman Polanski's good friend Wojciech Frykowski and famous hair stylist Jay Sebring.

The due date for Sharon Tate's baby was only 9 days away when she died.

it's a faulty test.  women will always, eventually, confess.
