Who knows? He is only four years old.However you should let your DD know that fairytales are being told and she should have a quiet talk with him about telling the truth.

My 4 year old grandson stays with my wife and I one weekend a month. (he did stay with us for 4 months a year and a half ago). He loves coming to us and has a great time, says that he wants to stay with us forever.

The last two times he has been he has told his mum lies about what happened whilst he was here. Saying we left him with a stranger whilst we went out, force fed him, told him he was moving to nearer to us. All lies.

Problem is that his mum (my daughter) is believing him.

Why would he do this?
