'I regret telling my child the truth about the Easter Bunny'
It's not easy to admit you've made a mistake. As a parent, it's even harder. What I did was so wrong and I can't even apologize to my son because I don't want to remind him that for years, I told him that Santa Claus and the Easter BunnyIt started before my son was born.
We were not going buy into any of that ridiculousness. We were going to be better. We would show our children the magic of real life. By showing them the beauty of nature and teaching them about real miracles. We would make life so magical and special that our children wouldn't even feel like they were missing out on the whole Santa-Claus-Easter-Bunny-scheme. And we weren't about to let Mr. Claus or a stuffed bunny take credit for the presents that we bought.
On the night of the event, we went to the middle of town and waited in the cold dark, singing Christmas carols. Then a fire truck came into view and who was riding inside? Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus too! Wolfy was so excited. On the ride home he had many questions. Throughout the next few days, I answered all of Wolfy's questions and kept answering him by saying,"See there's no way that makes sense, does it? It's just a story!" In the moment Wolfy would agree with me, but later he would ask another question that showed he was still trying to figure it all out. I should have just given in and played along. I should have recognized that this was something our son needed.
