[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid is probably saying stuff at school. [/quote]

Exactly.  I posted that about an hour ago too.
I bet when they are doing Christmas activities/lessons OP's kid is making a big deal about how his family doesn't do X or knows that Y isn't true, etc.[/quote]

I doubt this is true. If it was they would have brought it up. There is a lot of reading between the lines going on. [/quote]

Op here. I don't think that is true because our child is pretty young however he has been acting strange and sad when he goes to school lately. I can ask. He's okay when he comes home on the bus. He's very social and has a lot of friends. For certain holidays I usually don't disclose anything to my neighbors. I have before and I can see the disappointment, especially on Halloween. A lot of our neighbors (50 percent) aren't Christian but they put up Christmas lights and Halloween decorations. For Halloween, my kids don't dress up and I bring them late to school. They still attend class parties, eat cake, etc. Some people value privacy. I have an Iranian friend who doesn't like disclosing where she's from in certain situations. Other people are from Palestine but may say Jordan or Egypt. I have another friend who is Russian but says she's Ukrainian. When people ask where we are from I disclose but my husband doesn't always like to disclose.
