[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2931246, member: 9374"] Have fun with that. My son believed in Santa and even up until this year he doesn't discuss it, although we know his friends at school have spilled the beans. But then... my son also knows what's right and what's wrong, and childhood stories like Santa and the Tooth Fairy aren't promoting lying or dishonesty. You can raise your however you like, but my son knows lying is wrong - in spite of having been taught to believe in Santa. And do as I say, not as I do actually CAN work when you explain the whys and the hows. My son knows not to touch a gun on his own. He knows the drinking alcohol is not for children. He knows he can't drive a car or sit in the front seat. Is that a double-standard? Sure. But it's not a bad thing... you don't have to live your life the way your children do. Some things are inappropriate for children and when they understand why (besides just,"Because I said so!"), it's not that big of a deal. [/QUOTE]
