Well Mia figured out that there is no tooth fairy today cause Julie forgot to put a dollar in her pillow and take the tooth away. Mia was pretty broken hearted and pissed at her mom. So tonight she comes up to me and asks, "Daddy, if there's no Tooth Fairy, then is Santa Claus not real either?" Well, I told to go ask her Mom. Of course Julie just lied to her again.

So then Mia comes down to me and looks me dead in the eye and says, "Dad, is Santa Claus real?" I told her no, that I was Santa Claus.

Who's the better parent?

I agree with what you did, however it's probably not a good sign that you are in a (known or unknown to your wife) competition with your wife over who is the better parent. Might want to start there.
BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

We never had that problem because from the very beginning we told our kids those things were not real. We also said they could never tell their friends.

How'd the not telling their friends part go? Any slips that you've had to deal with?

It went well. No issues at all. All we said is that Santa Claus was a make believe character like Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck. Other parents prefer to pretend he is real and we are fine with that. It will hurt their friend's feelings if they tell them instead of letting their parents tell them. They understood. We reinforced it every year and they listened to us. They liked being treated like they were more grown up than their friends.

I was just thinking about it some more. Our kids got every bit as excited as other kids did when they saw Santa in the mall. We got pictures of them sitting on his lap. They liked the free candy cane. By the same token when we went to see the rat in FL they were excited seeing all the characters even though they knew they were not real.

When the kids is 1-3 they didn't have very many chances to tell someone else. By the time they are 6 a lot of other kids already know. So it is a 2 year window where we had to be careful. At 4 there are not a lot of other kids to deal with outside of preschool.

dfosterf (19h) : tell her I reckon
dfosterf (19h) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t
Zero2Cool (21h) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.
dfosterf (21h) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
dfosterf (21h) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (23h) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (23h) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him
dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious
dfosterf (26-Aug) : *Orzech*
dfosterf (26-Aug) : Orzich long snapper 3 yr extension
