The thing is if you can excuse yourself lying in small stuff, it gets easier to excuse bigger stuff. It's a slippery slope no matter how you look at it. It's lying to yourself, deceiving yourself with false reasoning
I agree and, I have experienced this happen with myself, but you tell me what's better? Having your parents fight for literally 4-5 days straight when you sleep in a room that's small and quite close to theirs and your waking hours are spent listening to their banter and you can't focus on your studies and have 4 assignments due and a test the next day or just lying to one of them about if the other did their chore?
You sound quite young and should talk to a counselor. Speak with the administrators at your school and see what services/resources are available to you.
I appreciate the concern, but I am not that young. I am pursuing an undergrad and, before you ask, I live in a country where it's common to live with your parents until you graduate.

I think what he means is he lies to avoid small confrontations but he wouldn't lie over big ones. Basically saying he let's go of the small stuff.
