Friends son (child A) had a play date with child B.
While there they were talking about Christmas and child A said it was Jesus birthday, the Mother of child B tells child A there is no Jesus, gave a long list of her reasoning. Child A tells his mother when he gets home, the mother of child A has now told child B that through blatant commercialism and coca cola an image was created from a folk tale and there is no you know who, Child B took this more to heart then child A who still believes in his faith and the rather nice SC who brings him gifts, both mothers are firmly at war now though.
I am parent of child C who is friends with A and B so have had the whole story from both sides.
I do feel attacking someone's religion is worse then attacking someones fairy tale.
Kids are all 7 (and yes mine believe ).
I think is has all got a bit out of hand though and am trying to stay out of the "great debate" that has taken over the play ground, AIBU
