Our kid has asked Santa to prove he’s real, and it feels like a trap. (from 2018).

So, dear parent, you need more information. You need to casually ask him what he wrote to Santa in his letter, you need to ask him how would Santa prove he was real, and you need to ask him what he would do if he found out Santa wasn’t real? You’re looking for cracks in his façade. You’re looking for tells. Maybe you’ll get nothing. But if you know him well, he probably won’t be able to hide his angle long.

Other than that, I, for one, say let this kid believe in Santa as long as he wants. Who cares, we’re all going to die anyway at some point. You don’t have to make fake reindeer prints in his bedroom or whatever. But you can certainly follow his letter to the … letter and not get him any presents. I’m sure that will either answer or render moot any existential questions he has.So, I have a 9-year-old nephew who’s delusional.

Is he a bully? As far as I know, he’s not done this to anyone else, thankfully. Just me. My husband has talked to him about why it’s not OK to do this, yet he keeps doing it the second we’re alone. It’s a bizarre fixation and I’m VERY worried about the physical stuff escalating. I’m dreading another incident at Christmas.
