I met with my family for Christmas and my brother and his wife brought over their first baby. I was happy to be there and meet him but I wasn't as emotionally moved as my parents or my other siblings. I've always been on the fence about wanting kids myself but I didn't feel too strongly and I feel bad about it and don't want to offend anyone by coming off as uncaring

I had this discussion with my girlfriend and she said me and my family don't love each other because we rather spend time with each other and do things than give presents? We are all grown and literally have everything we want. So we rather just spend quality time together. She and her aunts always get each other gifts to show love i guess. But I dont think no on is right or wrong. What do you guys think? Is Christmas about presents , quality time and love. Both or something else?

As the title asks - How did your kids finally find out about the truth about how Santa works and what age were they when they found out?

Did they find out on their own? Others tell them like their classmates or family members? Or with today’s technology - indoor cameras - did they catch Santa without the infamous red and white hat coat and pants?

I ask because…. I blew it! I’ve never felt so bad in my life! I fell asleep and then my son woke me up with the most disappointed face ever …. but he wasn’t crying. But I completely broke down because I failed him. 💔💔💔😢😢😢 I failed him as a father. I sent him to the bathroom and then the Santa haul was brought out. When he came out he saw it all and realized. But he thanked me all the same. Even though he now knows, he still wants to continue Santa. I don’t blame him one bit. I also told him the truth about the Easter bunny and why the tooth fairy stopped coming. (Except for 3-4 baby teeth he accidentally swallowed, I kept every tooth mainly because of stem cells, he might need them in future)

And I know you’re going to say he’s old enough to know - he’s 13. But unless he’s playing me, he really believed.

I’ve never felt worse in my life. Merry Christmas…not in my case or his. 💔💔💔😢😢

Not that none of it is your fault, just in the sense that they make it seem like it's all your fault or you're the one holding them back and shit like that

If you can't pick a side, don't bother to answer. It's a hypothetical question that forces you to see which side you lean more towards.
