RE: I still have not told my son the truth about Santa… and I never will.

in #life8 years ago

I respect this. I think I was just trying to find that sweet spot between childhood and adolescence. My kid just happened to make it long enough to fully accept that it is all "pretend" (this was merely sheer luck). He was able to process it as not simply a lie. Each family is unique. I respect how every family handles the situation. This worked for me. I know it will not work for all.

It's all good. I wouldn't have said anything if you hadn't asked. :)
We all do what we think is right and best in raising our kids. We all screw something up. And a lot of what we do isn't right or wrong, it just IS - and it's good because it IS with our kids.

This is one of the most reasonable things I have ever read on the subject of parenting. Something tells me you will take that as the compliment it is intended to be. Exactly! We all should do what IS right with our kids. There is no way to know what it IS until the situation presents itself. Cheers!!!!
