My late husband and I did the same thing. We wanted our son to know that what he had came from us, not some fairy.
That said, the grandparents talked up the Santa thing. I think it was a lost cause for us.
I would never have pushed our beliefs on some one else’s child. The pastor should have preached to his own congregation and left everyone else alone.
I agree. I let others do as they wish.
I have been blessed with a family that completely respects our authority concerning our children.
I looked at your page, very nice portrait of your husband and son.
My father died at 47, twenty years ago Saturday. My mom was 46. She has never remarried.
I miss my dad, sometimes it seems like yesterday he was here and other days he seems like a dream that I had.
So ....you worked at Macys??
