I understand sometimes people lie to avoid hurting someone, but a lot of the time it seems unnecessary. When something really important happens and honesty matters, people still choose to lie instead of just telling the truth.

This would not have been a big deal with western parents. Could even have been a bonding moment with a good dad to figure out how to fix it.
But yes, parents fuck us up. I also have memories of similar things, like when I was unplugging the xmas tree of a neighbor as a prank, and my dad got super angry and hit me in the back of the head so I fell down a ditch.
Some parents are just horrible parents.
You’re lucky to have experienced a positive subset of Western parents.
