I think we've discovered why the English are such compulsive liars. The root of the problem lies with the mothers who teach their children how to avoid responsibility while falsely taking credit for it at the same time.

Mothers admit to parenting lies, Netmums survey says
Many mothers are under so much pressure to appear like perfect parents that they cover up how much television their children watch or what they cook their families, according to a survey.
Ms Freegard, co-founder of the site, said there had been another example of a mother who was exhausted and went back to bed during the day, but explained her failure to answer the phone as being because her hands had been covered in flour while making cookies.

Some advice for Ms. Freegard: Stop having your morning Scotch and water and you won't be sleeping all afternoon when you should be baking cookies. You could use a man in the house, too, but that's going to be tough if you drink and sleep all day when you're supposed to be taking care of your kids.
