Nah, not evil at all. Your kid, your rules!

I mean - some of us lied to our kids for years...

 

[NH Homesteader]

Lol it's the lying I don't like! We decided since it's her first tooth I'll bring her to pick out a new toothbrush. I saw a My Little Pony one the other day- I know what she's gonna pick! Lol!

Snow finally stopped. Lots to clean up tomorrow. DH is going in to work late so he can shovel for me. I am lucky he can and will do that to help me out!

Our DD and her husband don't do Santa either. Makes me sad.

Oh the losing teeth stage… Can't say I'll miss it when it's over. DS was a bit concerned about it at first, but then we introduced the tooth fairy and he was after pulling all his teeth out! Oops… I remember one day, after some fiddling with a newly loose one, he proudly came running to me, bloody tooth in bloody hand, bloody mouth.. He yanked the thing right out by himself

I enlightened him about the non-existence of Santa last year finally when he told me to tell Santa to bring him a baby brother or sister lol

 

[NH Homesteader]

Lol! Well I didn't tell her Santa doesn't exist but I don't play it up. Santa is like Mickey Mouse- fun even if he isn't real. When she asks if characters are real I ask her what she thinks, and if they make sense to her to be real. She doesn't seem disappointed when she realizes they're not. Christmas isn't about a fat man in a red suit. It's about giving, spending time with family, etc.

She does believe in Cinderella though, because she met her at Storyland lol.

Cinderella is a good one to believe in

Smart kid - seeing is believing!

Glad DH can help with the shoveling! Probably not on the "do" list for a pregnant lady!

 

[NH Homesteader]

Nope I can do a little but we got a foot of heavy snow so, no! He watered the animals before he left too, yes!

Cold out today. Not a fan!

 

[frustratedearthmother]

A foot....

 

[NH Homesteader]

Today, I am tired. I overdid it yesterday so today I am under-doing it, lol. I feel like I got run over and I just want to go back to sleep! It doesn't help that I can't sleep when DH is working overnight and he's doing that a lot this week.

Did homeschooling, fed the animals,started laundry and got some venison stew in the crockpot and I really feel like that should be enough right?

In 3 weeks and 3 days I will be as pregnant as I was when DD was born. That's scary!
