I'm glad my parents did not do that to me!

The Santa and tooth fairy abuse did eventually stop... my teeth eventually fell out and after awhile I was expected to provide presents for others.
is it not ok to teach your kids what you believe to be the truth?
It is ok to teach your kids what you BELIEVE to be the truth.
I dont think its ok for you to teach youre kids that it IS the truth when you only believe it and dont know it.
