Quote From: monkey719I for one do not and have not taught my child about Santa, tooth fairy, etc. because I don't believe. However she does believe, and that is strictly for social situations, I mean why do I have to be careful around others children, I/we say things in company of others, and will say for instance that there is no Santa Claus. I do it in part of our economic situation, because if she wants something that is beyond my realm, than she needs to know that some kid in our situation will not get the XBOX 360.
Kudos to you for saying our President is the biggest liar... LOL....
I have lied in the past, and probably will do so in the future, but to me a LIE IS A LIE....

Just because your children haven't been brought up to 'believe' in santa clause or the tooth fairy doesn't mean that you shouldn't say there is no such thing in front of other people's children. Lets say there's a child who believes in God, and a woman who didn't bring her child up to believe in God. If that child asks you something about God would you tell them there is no such thing? This is the same thing. Perhaps you should look up the history of Santa Clause.
Why would you even bother telling other people (children) that santa clause isn't real? Isn't that choice for their parents? I could see you saying something like 'some people don't believe in santa clause' but to tell a child (that is not your own) that he (or his spirit) does not exist, is wrong.
