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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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
Today, my older sister forced me to tell my nephews, 8 and 6, that Santa Claus does not exist, because she was recently fired from her job and is too much of a coward to tell them she will no longer give them any Christmas gifts for the foreseeable future. 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, 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, 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, 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, my mom mentioned that she doesn’t think she’s gonna let my baby sister believe in Santa. When I mentioned that I believed in Santa growing up, she casually replied with, "Yeah, well you were slow." 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
Today, I was on the phone with my friend, when my four year old nephew came in, asking who I was talking to. I told him it was Santa Claus, so he insisted on talking to him. I handed over the phone and I hear, "Santa is fake. Grow up." I spent the next two hours with a screaming child proving Santa exists. FML

Beating donkeys are considered animal abuse. Just sayin'.

Don't tell her about the Tooth Fairy or the Easter Bunny then. She may go rogue.

My dad wasn't allowed to believe in Santa. He also wasn't allowed to Trick or Treat, anything really.

"Her life is a lie." Maybe you shouldn't let her go on the internet yet.

Well it really is a lie, so not like your son was wrong in what he said, just how he said it

That's sad that your son would do that. He kinda ruined a tiny part of her childhood, poor thing.

No presents fir the 15 year old and when the five year old asks it's because the 15 year old is on the naughty list .

To all those saying YDI for lying I've yet to meet anyone who found out Santa wasn't real and is permanently scarred by it. Santa is one of those parts of childhood you'll be depriving your kids of by trying to be brilliant never lying parents

Actually, I was really upset with my mother about that. I only enjoyed Santa because I actually believed in him, and having that taken away from me removed a lot of the happiness from the memory. The only lasting positive effect the whole Santa thing had for me was my learning not to trust blindly.

still not as bad as that teacher that asked all of her 2nd graders what they felt when they found out Santa wasn't real (when the majority of the class weren't aware of that yet). http://nypost.com/2011/12/03/elementary-school-teacher-tells-kids-theres-no-santa-claus/
