Tooth fairy is quite famous among the kids and it is quite fascinating for them to know about the tooth fairy. I wish both your kids a bright and successful future.Dental Implants Glendahttp://www.drgasser.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2314399666197759379.post-36636773429874825772011-12-07T16:53:50.307-07:002011-12-07T16:53:50.307-07:00Elena, I admire you for telling the truth!

We're still talking about Santa here, and you're right, it does make me uncomfortable making them believe in something that's not real!gaylenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17233169179124612848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2314399666197759379.post-16813307784083053832011-12-07T11:46:30.066-07:002011-12-07T11:46:30.066-07:00The tooth fairy didn't have a chance in my hou...The tooth fairy didn't have a chance in my house. My kids knew no fairy could ever be as flaky as their mom. I paid them interest when I was late. Guilt. Guilt.<br /><br />You're doing well with Santa :)<br /><br />When my daughter was six, she asked me if Santa was real. I wasn't going to lie--I want my kids to trust me, right?--but I didn't mind playing the game. I talked about the real Saint Nicholas and did a lot of "stories say..." stuff and every-time-you-give-that's-Santa-Claus crapola. My kid wasn't buying it.<br /><br />Her: No, Mom. Is there a guy. In a red suit. Who comes down the chimney. And brings me presents.<br /><br />Trapped.<br /><br />Me: Um, no.<br /><br />She burst into tears. And then told all her friends. I know this because the mother of one of them called me up and chewed me out. <br /><br />Friend's mom: I'm not ready for my daughter to quit believing in Santa, blah, blah, blah. <br /><br />Me: Sigh.elenajubehttp://elenajube.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2314399666197759379.post-11266139262251597212011-12-07T11:05:31.663-07:002011-12-07T11:05:31.663-07:00Yes, all fantasy has been busted in our house too....Yes, all fantasy has been busted in our house too. It's a relief, isn't it? I can't figure out why we lie to our kids in the first place. Pretending with out kids is one thing, when we both know that it's pretend, but I always felt a little squeamish making them believe someone was doing something when it was really me. Maybe I just want all the credit!Liesl Shurtliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09064620851881036609noreply@blogger.com
