Too too too
A speaks to B:
It's bad enough that you lied to me, without lying to Mother too. (An example sentence from a dictionary)

So we can see B lies to A, but does B lie to Mother?

Just got another sentence from dictionary.
It's bad enough that you were late, without lying about the reason.

I just found that it is the "without" part that puzzles me.

Answer

I would take it that he lied to Mother. I would paraphrase the sentence "It was bad that you lied to me, it was even worse that you lied to Mother"

Answer

Thanks for your help, Gary.
I agree with you in some way.

Answer

It's an odd sentence, and I don't think I understand it without context. At least with context I could tell if it was correct. I guess it means that B doesn't lie to Mother.
