Today, my daughter told my son that Santa is not real. Of course, being a child, he started to cry. My only problem is, my son is 11 and my daughter is 6. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my 16 year-old son had a tantrum over me asking him to clean up his room, and decided to tell my 6 year-old daughter that Santa isn't real, and that it was me who bought her presents. My daughter is inconsolable. FML
Today, my daughter ran up to an old man with a white beard and a red sweater because she thought he might be Santa. He was a homeless dude, drunk at 9 in the morning. He told her to either give him money or f**k off, then screamed at her that "Santa’s not real, grow up r*tard." She’s still crying FML
Today, my fifteen year-old son decided to tell his little five year-old sister that Santa isn't real. She now refuses to talk to any of us and thinks "her whole life is a lie". FML
Today, I was talking to my sister about how I need to buy gifts from Santa for my daughter, when my son asked why I would be buying them instead of letting Santa bring them. My son genuinely still believed in Santa. He’s 22 years old. FML
Today, my 8-year-old daughter was throwing a tantrum, and I said "Keep this up and I'll tell Santa to take your presents back." She told me I don't even know Santa, at which point I accidentally blurted that I'm "Santa". FML
Today, my 8-year-old came home from school crying. Apparently her teacher told the whole class to write about how they felt when they learned that Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy weren't real. FML
Today, I took my kids to the mall to see Santa. While waiting in line, my eldest got bored and loudly complained, "I don't know why we're here. Santa's not even real." I don't think any of the kids within a hundred feet took the news very well. FML
Today, I took my 5-year old daughter to get a photo taken with Santa, when she asked the dreaded question of why this Santa looked different from one at the other store. Before I could placate her, some cunt of a kid yelled, "Because he's not real, dumbass!" FML
Today, my little sister came home crying because someone had shown her a video about the Slender Man. Trying to calm her down, I explained to her that he wasn't real, just like Santa Claus. She looked up at me and said "Santa's not real?" It's been 3 hours, and she hasn't stopped crying. FML
Today, on the bus, when I was asking my 6-year-old son what he wanted for Christmas, a stranger came up to us and yelled at him about how Santa Claus is not real, that his "parents are fucking liars" and that he should "never listen to anything one of those fuckers says." FML

So??? Some kids hang on to Santa longer than others it's not a big deal. What is a big deal is that you seem to think this is a problem. Were you hoping he'd wait until he was married and his wife could explain it to him?

I think the OP's main concern is that their 6 year old figured it out before their ten year old. That and the fact that most children figure out the truth about Santa before they even hit double digits. The OP may also have thought that their son already knew the truth so it's now a little disconcerting to have him crying over the knowledge that there is no Santa.

I knew this FML would be instant fuel for that semi-true argument.

why did you say Santa was true in the first place?

Because santa not only brings a bit more magic to xmas but is also a powerful parenting tool when i comes to teaching your kids not to be naughty. There's no words that filled me with more dread as a kid than "im going to call santa and tell him what you have done." Its a harmless fun thing to believe in, I still write santa on gifts we do at work. Its an anonymous secret santa but most are left with no from.

YDI for having an easily-deluded, gullible tard for a son, and for having a trouble-making, know-it-all meaniehead for a daughter. You should have punched them both.

It sure is. People will look back to this day and think to themselves how great their ancestors were.
