Kids, Christmas and Family: It is

It is

Today, my fifteen year-old son decided to tell his little five year-old sister that Santa isn't real. She now refuses to talk to any of us and thinks "her whole life is a lie". FML

Today, my 16 year-old son had a tantrum over me asking him to clean up his room, and decided to tell my 6 year-old daughter that Santa isn't real, and that it was me who bought her presents. My daughter is inconsolable. FML

Today, my daughter told my son that Santa is not real. Of course, being a child, he started to cry. My only problem is, my son is 11 and my daughter is 6. FML

Today, I was talking to my sister about how I need to buy gifts from Santa for my daughter, when my son asked why I would be buying them instead of letting Santa bring them. My son genuinely still believed in Santa. He’s 22 years old. FML

Today, I took my kids to the mall to see Santa. While waiting in line, my eldest got bored and loudly complained, "I don't know why we're here. Santa's not even real." I don't think any of the kids within a hundred feet took the news very well. FML

Today, my little sister came home crying because someone had shown her a video about the Slender Man. Trying to calm her down, I explained to her that he wasn't real, just like Santa Claus. She looked up at me and said "Santa's not real?" It's been 3 hours, and she hasn't stopped crying. FML

Today, my 8-year-old came home from school crying. Apparently her teacher told the whole class to write about how they felt when they learned that Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy weren't real. FML

Today, my mom mentioned that she doesn’t think she’s gonna let my baby sister believe in Santa. When I mentioned that I believed in Santa growing up, she casually replied with, "Yeah, well you were slow." FML

Today, on the bus, when I was asking my 6-year-old son what he wanted for Christmas, a stranger came up to us and yelled at him about how Santa Claus is not real, that his "parents are fucking liars" and that he should "never listen to anything one of those fuckers says." FML

Today, I was on the phone with my friend, when my four year old nephew came in, asking who I was talking to. I told him it was Santa Claus, so he insisted on talking to him. I handed over the phone and I hear, "Santa is fake. Grow up." I spent the next two hours with a screaming child proving Santa exists. FML

Today, while my boyfriend and I were talking with his sister-in-law about a TV show, his 6-year-old nephew walked up just in time to hear how Santa killed the protagonist's parents. I've never seen such a heartbroken face in my life, and now he won't stop asking if Santa kills people. FML

Don't tell her about the Tooth Fairy or the Easter Bunny then. She may go rogue.

Haha I understand though, for many children it's quite a disappointment.

- well I know that Santa is real - - about five years ago - I went to the credit union and I asked the Teller if Santa Claus was going to be good to her - - and she said Santa had better be good to her or else her husband was going to die !!!! - - well later after Christmas - - she said her husband did not die - - - So since Santa was good to her - - - and her husband did not die it does not take a master detective or sherlock holmes to figure out that ??????? - - - Santa is REAL - - might be circumstantial evidence but it works for me - -

Wow. Can't believe the amount of people who think their kids will be devastated and traumatised for life if they are told Santa is real and find out he's not. I found out he wasn't real eventually. I wasn't really upset by that stage, didn't develop trust issues with my parents. If anything, it might have taught me not to believe everything I'm told.

This kid is too young to understand why her parents lied about Santa, though. Most kids work it out in their own time and realise that it's just a fun tradition. A five year old won't be able to understand why her parents lied to her, just that they did.

My parents told meh when I was four. I'm glad too. I have a fifteen year old cousin that still believes in Santa. I took it rather well. I was glad that they weren't planning on telling meh a huge lie for my whole life.
