How old should a kid be before you tell the truth about Santa? I think there should be a line...

keeping kids "innocent" is selfish asf and doesn't do him any favors as a young adult.

Or you can skip lying to them from the start.

I can understand the "spirit of giving", but someone please help this kid. I'm surprised his fellow mates haven't already messed him up. good luck

I can't believe kids in 7th grade still believe in it. Maybe they were joking. I remember that kids with older siblings told us the truth in kindergarten. And I told it to my sister when she was 4.

Depends on the child and if even we are not told the truth of other worldly matters by the rulers, I see no reason why an innocent joke with no ulterior motives should be done away with.

Never...just don't foist it. There's enough time for cynicism

What you mean by the truth

I think 17 is a good age for that.

I don't think they ever *need* to "believe" in the first place. He can be just as much fun without the charade.

When they start asking complicated questions and the lie gets ridiculous

If a kid doesn't figure it out before 7th grade the kid's either got ninja spies for parents or the kid's an idiot.

All kids,except for the retarded, Know the Truth about Santa!!

Any kid that plays along after that is just sucking up to his delusional parents
