3. You and your son say something really stupid in front of your 5 year old nephew. (Ok, we are all human and we make mistakes.


Ma'am...The kid was not 5 ..he is IN 5th GRADE, or 10/11 YEARS OLD...You might want to rethink some of the words you wrote in that dissertation...
I would nit have thought that he still believed either...that is a little old...the OP may have handled it poorly, but his sister is ruining that kid...honestly ruining him.
It's time to LET him grow up.

Weren't you the hoe that cheated on your husband with someone from this board? Your parenting advice is shite. Looking at your maybe it's another poster.

The bottom line is that every kid develops differently and 10 might be at the upper end of believing but it's not abnormal.

The child's age does not matter.

Do you watch tv?

Do you go to movies?

If you do then you are participating in events or scenarios where you indulge your imagination.

Don't ever try to "parent" or "project" your beliefs on to other people's children.

It is just asking for problems.

Here is something for you to consider.

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
- Albert Einstein

How?

Will he not be able to hold a job? Will his ability to go to college at 18 be screwed up because he still believed in this at 10?

What is the age where a child has to stop believing or he will be “screwed up”?

Do some of you actually listen to yourselves?

He is 10. He hasn’t even gone through puberty yet.

Y'all are fricking crazy people.

You my dear don't get to make that call.

The child is not ruined.

Do you hate kids?
=========
I apologize for that "hate kids comment".
My anger got the better of me.

these kids know there is no Santa or Easter bunny. We all play along in a hope to preserve some childhood innocence. It’s just what we do, the game we play. If your kids are nice and adjusted they will do the same. If you believe a rabbit or a sleigh can get around the world in a night, homes undetected, all after buying the same shite you saw at WalMart, you aren’t in regular school. But again, we just goof off and enjoy the memories of the few years the kids did when they were tiny

no body going into a locker room and getting quizzed if they believe in Santa, Jesus.
