The consensus so far seems to be there is not a damn thing wrong with lying to your kids about anything and everything, and as a footnote to assume you certainly should never trust those children you have so diligently deceived. I guess it makes sense for people who are reflexively duplicitous to also be paranoid up to the point of not even trusting their own family. Especially since they have modeled deception and condemn any questioning of its value without reflection.

Cheers to the one prophetic voice out there saying lying always comes back to hurt. Reminds me of Isaiah and the voice crying out in the wilderness.

You can do whatever you want with your own kid, but when your kid starts telling other kids at 5 years old there is no Santa be prepared for your kid to become a social leper. There will be consequences for treating your child like an adult while they are children ,and that could possibly be their inability to relate socially with their peers.
