i plan on letting my kids believe in santa until they reach an age where i deem it is appropriate to tell them.

i will by NO means be the type of parent that raises insecure weird children who at the age of 16 still believe in santa. i have already promised myself that i will expose my children to everything i have been exposed to (not in a bad way). any questions regarding sexual\drug related\whatever it may be i will answer to the best of my ability. i am not going to promote that my children go out and smoke and drink but i know they will.

just as my mom does\did for me, i will tolerate this unless things start to get out of control. as long as my kids are still obeying me, leading a healthy life, and keeping their school work up, in my opinion, they are free to have fun as children.
