It just really doesn't have to be that complicated. When questioned, I was told if I wanted presents I should believe - end of conversation. The trouble is all the overwrought explanations.

I guess it all depends on the kid, and the other sections of the child kid relationship. Some kids can handle finding out they were being lied to, some can't; some parents can manage to lie to their kids in a way that doesn't set the kid up for a major fall, some can't. If my mom ever tried to lay that kind of absolute on me there would have been open rebellion, I've never done well with ultimatums.
