Got in a big argument with my longtime friends last year, who thought it was bad parenting to tell kids Santa Claus was real. Their "point" was how can your children ever trust you again once they know you lied to them? The fact that most people manage to cope with this didn't enter into their reasoning. It was like arguing with Sheldon Cooper.
