I was just having a chat with my 5yr old granddaughter about how her day was, and that I'd seen the beginning of her Christmas list. And, if she's a good girl Father Christmas will soon be here.
So, with Christmas just around the corner I was wondering how many people were bribing their kids to be good!
I admit that I will be using good the old Santa as a bribe if required!  |

"Oh god yeah. I even change my friends name to Santa on my phone. I’m always calling him and getting him to ring me to check who’s being good  "
Ooo I hadn't thought of that, Nora. I can feel a phone call from Santa coming on |

"I don't think we bribed them with Santa but we definitely used bribes and their bad big brother, threats eg "if you don't behave you will lose X privileges/be grounded""
I've used these with my own.
With the grandkids I'm a bit more 'accommodating |

"Santa is always watching you know… pointing to the pir sensor in the corner of the room, with its red led light that conveniently illuminates at the wave of an arm….

Just be careful as they might start thinking you've lost the plot children have become very smart so best way is to educate let them understand what Christmas is how it began and how lucky they are... Making any child believe some fat guy climbing down a chimney is poor education |
