Today, at my four-year-old daughter's insistence, I looked for - and found - a radio station that plays "Santa music" all year round. She's ecstatic and I can't turn it off without upsetting her. FML

Don't let your kids become your boss, show your kid who's in charge. Or learn to love Santa music

That's when you throw the radio away and tell her you don't know what happened to it.

Definitely would have pretended not to be able to find one. I can barely stand it by the end of December.

That would drive me absolutely bananas. Maybe a distraction would work? Depending on age, you can probably find something to divert attention from the 'Santa station'. Either that, or get some headphones (I had my first Walkman at age four). I've worked way too many years in retail (where the Christmas music starts before you get a chance to take down Halloween ornaments) to ever really want to listen to 'radio-style' Christmas music ever again. Which is why I'm glad my family would much rather put on Stuart McLean reading Christmas stories than 'jingle bell rock'. And shopping online helps incredibly. Maybe I sound like kind of a grinch, but working in malls and hearing the same thirty Christmas songs repeated for a twelve hour shift does not make one keen to hear any more.

YDI for being a weak parent. My sister did the same thing and now I have a brat for a niece...

OP my heart goes out to you, maybe you should invest in a radio jammer; could do the trick.

She'll be tired of it in a couple of days, don't worry.

Whenever my sisters kids do something like that I just lie. Lying is the best form of parenting OP: 'sorry, ice cream shop's shut' 'can't find that radio station' 'my DVD player's broken'.

I agree it must make parenting easier - you just have to know how to lie WELL. I remember when I was about 6, there was this CD I kept making my dad play on repeat, so eventually he told me that the singer was "tired" of having to sing the songs over and over again. Obviously, I didn't buy it for a second. Great example of not-so-great lying right there.

Is your ability to say no broken? You should fix that. Before the four year old starts running the show.

Tell her Santa isn't real. Problem solved. You are welcome :)

But that would get rid of the magic of Christmas

Umm that's not something you tell a child.

That is the moment when she falls asleep that the radio will accidentally fall and break. Or you can always buy her a personal radio with earphones. I think iPods have those.
