How do you handle the conversation around things like the Easter Bunny and Santa not being real? Our little one still believes, but some slightly older kids told him the truth on Easter yesterday and I don't think it will be long before he starts to see that they're right.

My wife and I struggled with this too, but it was a lot easier than I expected. The day that he asked, we sat him down and told him that it's really all about the "spirit" and now that he's grown up he gets to see backstage and help others experience the magic of the holidays.

Yea, with my oldest I remember I was so scared he'd be hurt that we lied and not trust us anymore. It was way easier than I thought it would be though and definitely not any hurt feelings. In all likelihood they learn before you think they will these days anyway due to classmates at school

Our daughter unraveled it all with the tooth fairy around age 5. She was suspicious that a tiny weird fairy was sneaking into rooms at night and paying children for their “used, old bones” (her words). 🤣 She was more upset that she could tell other kids but quickly turned the frown upside down when she realized that we could do whatever traditions she still loved and she would be able to be “in on it” with the little kids. She now helps with Santa duties for little cousins and loves it. We did an egg hunt yesterday for her even though she is 11. She just thinks it is fun and I’ll do this for her as long as she is into it.

They will find out in school

I literally cannot stomach to be around my in laws any longer. My wife and I are in neither political camp and we pretty much have the perspective that no matter what the outcome is every 2 and 4 years isn’t going really affect our lives all that great. We just have the attitude that “things happen, but why let that affect our daily happiness?” My in laws are retired, bored, and do nothing but share Fox News videos on Bookface and have just become so angry. (Cont’d)

Hi everyone I am relocating to Hyderabad next month. Even though I look forward to meeting new people I can’t seem to ignore the fact that I will move away from family.

I am financially independent but I feel guilty for not being there for them. Is there any possibility of getting transferred to Gurgaon office(a lot closer to my home)if I talk to my manager?

Poll on general attitudes towards open relationships? I’m in one and find that some folks are totally non-judgmental about it, while others are so vicious/rude about it. Curious about your opinions! I understand that every open relationship is different, and each couple defines their own arrangement/rules. For context, ours is a passive one that’s hardly acted on, but we both have Grindr and meet guys for fun on the very odd occasion (whether together or apart). If you’re in one, describe yours!
