I understand 2 opinions on this matter. The first is the opinion that it's ok to tell kids Santa is real, and the second is that parents shouldn't tell their kids Santa is real. Both opinions make sense to me. Like I already said, I personally don't think it's morally wrong but it's not the kind of relationship I want to have with my kids. Even when it may be "good for them" I don't like lying to my kids, I would rather say "it's not something I think you need to know right now" than lie to them.
This...
however, I do not understand. I think you're being melodramatic and irrational in this post. Regardless of whether you think it's ok or you think it's wrong, parents who tell their children Santa is real are not doing it because they like tricking people to make themselves feel superior. You even suggesting this to be true makes me want to tell you to grow up.

What you are saying is just the rationalization that the goddamned liars like to give for their goddamned lies. People like tricking children, as it makes them feel superior. It does not benefit the children at all.
