Is it time for 'the talk' and graduation already?

[pamela]

let me preface this with MY LIFE IS GREAT!

however, in the last 3 weeks, I have had "the talk" with my 11 y.o. DS, he graduates from 5th grade tomorrow and last night he told me he no longer believes in the Tooth Fairy:cry::cry::cry:


I knew these times were coming, I just didn't think I would be so young!!!

Oh Meg! {{{{HUGS}}}}} Be thankful he's 11. Around here, it's like 7 or 8. Dylan is 7 and told us that he knows there's no such thing. :cry:

My niece is 8 and she onto Santa, Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny. They make them smarter these days....

I thought you meant a different kind of "the talk"

I thought you meant a different kind of "the talk"

That is EXACTLY the talk we had! And then he is heading to Middle school and he finally fessed up about the Tooth Fairy! We knew he didn't believe anymore, but he finally came out and said it...I think he thought he might get in trouble since he has a little sister. I just asked him to keep wuiet for her sake....it won't be long before it all clicks that if there is no TF, then Santa and the EB must not be real either!

Ok, what the heck does "OT" mean? I am so old and confused!

By the way, at 11 years old, he is about a year away from the dreaded "hormone crying" episodes. Geez, my boys were worse than my daughter during that time...say one thing the wrong way and they would burst into tears.

Yet, it's pretty funny now that I think about it...

Janice~we have started to see the hormonal crying jags already! That was why we decided I needed to have "the talk" with him! If I had waited for DH to do it, DS would be in college! The boy seems better now that he knows he isn't losing his mind!

OT means "off topic"

Oh the things we go through for our kids. I just had to explain to my almost 5 year old that not all babies have to drink formula. He hasn't ever really noticed women nursing before, so he had no idea, and I plan on nursing the new baby just like I did him. I'm not sure he actually believed me.

Ahhh...I thought you meant you talked to him about the tooth fairy!
