Hey just a quick question.. What does everyone with older kids do regarding the easter bunny, santa, tooth fairy etc. Evan had a big carry on again tonight (happening so frequently atm ). Because DH had told him he spoke with the easter bunny who told him he doesn't bring toys, thats santa's job. Apparently there was a toy truck he seen in the shops... Anyway he wanted to know what the easter bunny looked like. When Dh tried to explain Evan lost it. Going on that DH was lying etc. Tried to get him to calm down & asked him what he thought he would look like etc. But The kids needs facts. But how on earth do you give facts on a lie?
I never wanted the easter bunny/santa etc to actually become a lie. We have always avoided the questions (Which evan started with when he was about 4 in regards to santa) & just explained about the magic of believeing & how it makes it special. But He asked me the other week if the tooth fairy was real. Asked me outright. Said other kids at school told him its your mum & dad. I didn't want to tell him as I knew he would run straight in & tell the others. BUT I did my best to avoid answering & told him to ask Daddy (LOL) as he wasn't home & I assumed by the the time he was he would have forgot. But before I had a chance to talk to DH Evan had asked him & he said Yes the tooth fairy is real. Now he is telling him that YES the easter bunny is real..

I really think we should sit down & tell all the kids (no way Evan could keep it tohim self) that it is us. I think he would be much happier with the truth. Its easier to process facts for him. But not these stories we can't back up or provide any real answers too.
What do you all think?
