I have said for years that I would never EVER sit down my kids and tell them the truth about Santa, as I wouldnt be the one to burst their bubble, and they'd manage to work it out on their own - just as I did as a child.
However my DS1 aged 12 is now at secondary school, and I'm not convinced he knows for sure. He has Aspergers, and I'm not sure if he'd definitely work it out for himself. I know that most kids that age know the truth, and so I'm just a bit concerned that he'd get slated and be mortified at school if we leave things as they are.
Any tips on what we should do?
Sit him down and tell him?
Assume he knows and leave him to it (worrying about him being picked on at school)?
Double bluff it, and talk to him as if we KNOW that he knows the truth and get him in on the act and keeping the magic alive for DS2 in December?
It's so hard to know what to do.
