Lying to your children

About three years on Christmas, we were all gathered at my uncle's house. My young cousins were opening their presents and everyone kept saying, "I wonder what Santa left you in that box." I boldly announced that when I had children of my own, I would never instill the falseness of Santa Claus. My aunt said, "When you have children of your own, you will change your mind, besides, it's fun." Lying to your children is fun? I don't really find anything amusing about that. On the contrary, I find it pretty sad that people willingly spread a false message to their kids about a man who drops presents down a chimney one night every year, a fairy that leaves you money in exchange for teeth, and a giant bunny who hands out gifts and candy. If you lied to someone and they found out the truth, they would be angry. Why willingly do so to your own flesh and blood?

 

i dont know, it is fun. my greatest thoughts of when i was a child was when i believed in santa and the tooth fairy. it was good times. yes i do lie to my children they think santa and all that stuff is real.

 

Because it was fun for me. I didnt hate my parents when I found out...I pretended I didnt know for a couple years. You take stuff deeper than I do. I still remember what I thought about santa or the tooth faerie or the easter bunnie.

 

I've decided that instead of making the aura towers invunirable and have a 5 minute time limit that I would make them have a stronger defense with an optional attack ability upgrade

 

Theres no santa??!!

*runs and crys*

 

LMAO...



shhhh now everybody we are upsetting the children...


santa is real dont worry sweety

 

My inner child thanks ya.

 

i will tell them about santa, the easter bunny, the tooth fairy because i was told about them. i will tell them because i believe it is good for a child to believe in such things as a child. i loved believing in them. it was a great part of my childhood.

sometimes, i have thoughts of equating santa, the easter bunny and the tooth fairy to other belief systems...

 

Like that chiropractics are really doctors?

 

well, maybe...

 

Are you talking about WC3 still?

 

yep

 

comming from a teenager: i dont consider santa and the tooth fairy to truly be lies... they're almost like ledgends, or myths.. not lies.

 

I don't tell my children that

my grandmother continues to do it, against my wishes

I guess I feel like the longer you deal in reality, the better off you are

not to mention, when my children are older I want them to know that mommy doesn't lie to them, she may yell, scream, or if you really fuck up, temporarily blind you

but she doesn't lie

I always want my words to them to be something they can depend on

 

My thoughts exactly

 

the real world sucks, kids shouldnt have to be dealing with that. i wish i was a kid again

 

I didn't have a problem dealing with the fact that Santa was not real...


But when they broke it to me that the wrestling was fake.....

 

see, strangely this is what i agree with

 

you have the wrong idea colenzo...
...but i dont think anything would alter the opinion you want to have

 

hmm thats so true
