13-yr-old demands gifts or says 'Santa will die'

Useless cunt. This kid is a poster child contestant for the campaign to legalize post-natal abortions. Got my vote!

I take it you don't have kids... let me know how you feel about this when you do. ;-)

I do and think that by 6th class you'd better have worked it out or get told. My son figured it out by 6th class and when my daughter didn't seem to have figured it out by Christmas in 5th class, I told her the truth about all of them about 2 weeks later when she turned 11. It's better to let the kids know and upset them yourself than keep it going and have them teased at school and find out that way.

Does make me wonder two things: 1) Why didn't the parent keep the receipt for that child? Then she could have taken it back and got one that worked... 2) Why isn't post-natal abortion legal? Say until the age of sixteen?

Of course ... 1. For all their moral outrage, the Daily Mail probably paid for those presents by paying the mother for the story. 2. She's 13 years old, of course she doesn't believe in Santa. I'd say that's a perfect plan for funding a christmas list her mum probably couldn't afford. 3. She evidently has some moral compass, as she threatens to feed the reindeer to homeless people. Great outrage from the mail, bad journalism at its best. I suspect the family did this with tongue firmly in cheek. Well played I'd say.

At least I know that. I have seen murder in the eyes of fresh parents when the 'little darling' started to scream again. If mother nature had not thrown in a massive amount of doping to protect the little maggots, they probably would not survive the first weeks. Without the parents' brains biochemically bombed into the stone age, no kid would see the 16th birthday :)

Sounds like a publicity stunt to me.

It probably is. I can't get rid of the feeling that I have read a similar (if not the same) thing a year ago.

I'm sure I saw exactly the same thing on a TV ad, or somewhere on the web in ad form within the last 2 weeks. "Santa send me what I asked for, or the reindeer gets it" And I'm also fairly sure I got to that ad from a link here in the lounge.

DD's just not in a condition to drive a sleigh at that time of night. Maybe if you hide the gin. :laugh:
