To tell kids that Santa, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth fairly (plus all other fairies) are not real.
I say 3.
Unless they’re advanced for their age then 2. |

I personally feel it's much more fun to mess with their minds. Say you have a surprise for their third birthday and tell them immediately before they blow out the candles. Then wait a week to say you were only joking it after a short pause say "or was I ?"  |

I’d say as soon as they can speak. Tell them that Santa isn’t real, bunnies don’t lay eggs, the dog died and didn’t go to a farm and their uncle isn’t cool, he’s an alcoholic. |

Also, if a stranger told your child in, say Asda, Morrisons, Tesco’s or any other supermarket on the run up to Christmas that he’s not real, would that be ok?
Asking for… myself. |

Also add that their first love will break their heart, moneys aren’t cute, they just throw shit at people and 90% of their TV idols will be arrested for historic crimes. |

9 for Santa (wish I never started with the Santa thing, he got the credit for us working our arses off.)
Never done the Easter bunny, I think tooth fairy lasted maybe until the eldest was 6.

Till they don't believe themselves , who are you to spoil it for them ? With the TV and phones and internet now it's very difficult to keep things in order but they're not fools and will find out themselves and when that time comes when they ask you, have a proper discussion with them and say you kept it going cause it's a parents thing to do , don't overcomplicate things , they will understand. |

They usually work it out themselves, when they catch you putting the cash under the pillow, or presents under the tree.
Sometimes a horrible adult tells them, just to be a cunt; sometimes, a friend says it and they ask you if it's true with that look of "Don't lie to me now" in their eyes.
Sometimes, you have to tell them in the Summer before they go to Secondary school, because they would be embarrassed by other children if they mentioned Father Christmas and the Tooth Fairy.

You don't tell them they tell you. Then you tell them it's about giving a gift to someone, someone you care about and want to do it because you can, not for something in return. |

What??? Lies lies lies!!
Seriously though, I'd say not long before they start school. Keeps the fun of them believing for a little while, but prevents them finding out in potentially a hurtful way and being made fun of. |

"Who would tell a 3 year old that Santa wasn't real? Or any child under the age of 10. That's just cruel  "
I would, or I would keep quiet. I find it ironic that people expect kids to be honest, yet they lie first to them. Kids can be kids without monetizing make believe.

"I never told my kids shit like that in the first place
My eldest got the concept from others....I never encouraged or discouraged it"
And I also don’t think the idea of kids having a good childhood and remaining children has to mean they believe in these concepts. I think plenty of children that didn’t believe in any of these things had nice lives and decent parents lmao |

Well I like to think mine did have happy childhoods and a nice life. Not sure about decent parents, I didn't kill them so that's good.
They are well rounded adults who are winning at life so not believing in the Easter bunny has no long term effects |

Where did anyone say kids have to believe in those concepts to have a good childhood? We were asked when we told our kids they didn't exist. It doesn't need to turn into an ethical discussion whether doing elf on the shelf makes me a bad parent or not. |

"I never told my kids shit like that in the first place
My eldest got the concept from others....I never encouraged or discouraged it
And I also don’t think the idea of kids having a good childhood and remaining children has to mean they believe in these concepts. I think plenty of children that didn’t believe in any of these things had nice lives and decent parents lmao
Where did anyone say kids have to believe in those concepts to have a good childhood? We were asked when we told our kids they didn't exist. It doesn't need to turn into an ethical discussion whether doing elf on the shelf makes me a bad parent or not.
The implication is literally up the thread.
Yes I can see that now. Not from me. There's no need for anyone to judge other peoples choices in this area - is there? Parenting is tough enough. Calling Santa a creepy little fuck - really not necessary.
That was Jon Bon Jovi calling the tooth fairy a creepy little fuck for stealing teeth. Read before you jump."
Apologies to Steve. And Santa. You agreed with that judging language though. |

"Also, what the fuck do kids think the tooth fairy is and does?
A little flying fairy psychopath collecting human teeth.
To what end?
Creepy little fuck.
Yup, and you can't talk to strangers yet a guy in a red and white suit in December is OK! Hell, he's even allowed in bedrooms
You've chosen not to encourage it with your kids. Your choice. No need to suggest that other parents' choices are wrong.
I am adding my opinion into a thread. Absolutely no need to jump on me like that
"No need to suggest that other parents choices are wrong" I wouldn't say I did jump on you. I also have an opinion.
I never said that though. Read my posts again!
Yes you are but I haven't jumped on you for your opinion have I! So please allow me the same courtesy
I didn't jump on you - my language was calm and polite. Yes I believe your language and Steve's implies that other parents choices aren't good. It shouldn't need to be a judgement - on either side. It's just a parenting choice. Both have merits.
Then that's your perception, which is on you not me, I was giving my opinion.
As am I. "
Then respect that please |

She collects teeth. If I did that I’m sure I’d be in a maximum security prison. |

Kiiiiiiiids kids kids.
Obviously I’m NOT telling my kids that Santa, the psycho fairly and the giant man bunny who shits chocolate eggs, aren’t real.
Mainly because I don’t have kids.
So I’m opting to tell other peoples kids instead, over tannoy systems, so I don’t have to go near the germy little fuckers, in all major supermarkets in December.
Thanks for helping me make this decision.
And stop lying to your kids!! |

I said something similar to Steve - and Jon as above. Didn't have a pop as you describe it. I'm not offended. I don't think there's any need for anyone to be judgmental about this. Which is what I've said multiple times. |
