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 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, 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 daughter was throwing a tantrum, and I said "Keep this up and I'll tell Santa to take your presents back." She told me I don't even know Santa, at which point I accidentally blurted that I'm "Santa". 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, I was at lunch with my mom and we were talking about how to tell my brother that Santa Claus isn't real. After we finished our conversation, I heard someone crying. Little did I know, two little kids and their parents were sitting in the booth behind me. FML

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, 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, 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 brought my 6-year-old to the mall to sit on Santa's lap. She told him what she wanted and smiled for the picture. When the lady told her that her turn was over, she began throwing a fit, pulling off Santa's beard in the process. This caused all the kids in line to begin sobbing. FML

Today, my daughter ran up to an old man with a white beard and a red sweater because she thought he might be Santa. He was a homeless dude, drunk at 9 in the morning. He told her to either give him money or f**k off, then screamed at her that "Santa’s not real, grow up r*tard." She’s still crying FML

Time to go to the school board and try to have that teacher fired, so that way they can be replaced by someone better... hopefully. Afterwards, go kick the bad teachers ass. I've been known to be a dick, but I would never take a child's innocence away from them like that. Kids need something to believe in, otherwise they might grow up to be a dark person, mind and soul. **** that teacher... that pisses me off.

Really? Get a teacher fired for telling the truth? Ok ok i get its a myth that young (and stupid) Christian kids like to believe but past 8 years old? C'mon guys maybe a 3 or yr old believing in it is fine but it's just delusional for anyone to try keep up the myth and lies round it past then. So ye, go ahead and make the teacher fired, get some nice old lady who tells everyone santa's real and is very sweet but a ignorant uneducated shit teacher. And i say...what a wonderful world...

I can't believe you would still lie to your kids at that age. So is the teacher the asshole for ruining it, or you for perpetuating a complete lie because it might make Christmas a little bit more fun? My daughter is 6, has always been told Santa was a story and she thinks Christmas is super awesome and wonderful. Also, she is never going to have to get upset about finding out Santa isn't real. Honestly, most parents are ass-backwards with this shit

That teacher should be yelled at! I didn't find out about Santa until I was 12. And even then I have my mother the silent treatment for a day. If I had found out my parents were Santa when I was 8 I would have balled for weeks!
