[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a made up story; so people make up the details in different ways. I don’t see how you are losing anything if your kid believes this for a couple of years. The whole story is pretty ridiculous, so there are plenty of details the kids pick apart when they start to realize that - this is not likely to be the inconsistent detail that reveals the truth. [b]Obviously you have deeper issues with your mom and her overstepping what you see as your role;  I would focus on resolving that instead of the particular details surrounding the Santa myth.[/quote][/b]

Op here. Yes, this is probably the bigger issue. Thanks for the feedback. I do find my mil historically overbearing and mostly inconsiderate of boundaries. In the past she has said things like Christmas is “her” holiday to do. She also used to stop by unannounced, make plans with our kid without asking either of us, call every day for kid updates etc etc. She has invited herself to family stuff without asking like once she literally bought a plane ticket to go on vacay with us without telling us she would be there. Anyway all that stuff has ended after some messy conversations but I am def sensitive to it. Came on here for some quick feedback. Thanks to all who actually gave it to me.[/quote]

This all sounds terrible. To me, the Santa thing is no big deal but it sounds like there are plenty of other issues at play. She bought a ticket to go on vacation with you without asking?! Terrible [/quote]
