Why do you have to pay child support if she cheated on you o_o
I don't see how this could be a serious question. The child didn't cheat on him, child support isn't alimony, even though many single mothers treat it that way.
I understand why you want to do this and all, but I just hope you really consider whether or not it would bring her more joy to be able to have all the lil magics of Christmas. My niece will probably be told santa is not real as well, but her daddy and mommy both have been reminded that they as children really enjoyed Santa and everything that comes along with it.
And hey Allan?
Merry Christmas. Watch those Bond DVDs.
Being let down every year when Santa didn't bring you all the nonsense you asked for shouldn't be a staple of childhood. The "magic" of being a carefree child doesn't have to start with lies.
Sometimes I feel like I was the only child who was very happy to be told that Santa wasn't real. I liked the idea better that my mom was the one giving me presents, rather than some strange random guy who I never even met.
Also, just a question, but what exactly do you mean by you don't "own" a child anymore if you get divorced? That seems confusing to me, since I know that if two people had a child, but they were never married, the child is still treated as if they belong to both parents. At least that's how I was treated. Only reason I got to be with my mom full-time was because my dad made ridiculous proposals and refused to compromise on anything, so the court turned him down.
Hmm, then again, I'm not quite normal, so maybe never believing in Santa
is a bad thing.
Anyone normal never believe in Santa?
