The most devestating lie

[aussie]

What was the most devestasting lie you were tolds as a child?

for me it was the santa. There was always some little arse hole to wreck it for you wasnt there. I remember the old man almost killed me when I told my brother

I guess the tooth fairy. (my parents are Jewish) I knew it was a bunch of crap, but when I woke up and there wasn't money under my pillow, I was a little dissapointed in my parents for forgetting. Then they tried to play it off, like the tooth fairy came while I was in the bathroom, and I was like, give it up and just hand over the money! (I'm kidding, sorta) :shutup:

My parents were constantly preaching about how I could do anything the boys (my two older brothers and boys in general) could do. You would have thought they were on the board of directors for the equality. When I turned 18, my parents tried to prevent me from gong on a vacation with my boyfriend. Their reasoning was that they could not allow us to stay in the same hotel room together.

Nevermind that I had already slept with him. This was just idiotic. They had let my brothers do the exact same thing with their women as early as age 16. When I angrily confronted them with these facts, they looked me right in the eye and said "You are a girl, it is different."

I proceeded to tell them their logic was shitty and I went anyway. They must have known they were somewhat in the wrong because they never stepped forward so much as an inch to stop me after I told them I was going. These are the same parents that grounded me for an entire school semester because they caught me smoking in 10th grade. I did not defy them, ever. This time, I knew they were full of shit.

Does this count as a lie told to me?

yes Berly I guess that counts as a lie it must have really rocked your parents when you stood up for your self like that.
For me it was the santa clause thing. Some kid at school told me there was no Santa so I went home and asked mum. That was the one time in my life I really wanted my mum to lie to me. I was devestated to hear the truth. The sad thing is I still cant stand that chick after that day.

I always knew about Santa, but my dad gave us presents from 'Santa' anyway. I think when I was told by some little brat that I couldn't have Santa because I was Jewish... That hurt. My dad would have a white tree and we would decorate it in blue with dreidels. My dad told me I could have santa if wanted... but I never quite felt the same...

I don't think I ever really believed in Santa. My parents didn't believe in lying to their children. Same went for the tooth fairy (she didn't lie to me either :cheesy: ).

Think it worked pretty well. Some people say that I missed the magic of Christmas, but I don't think I did - I remember my brother and I being very excited about the whole thing, we still gave and received presents, and we still had all the hoopla with family and big turkey dinner. We just didn't have to suffer the trauma of being told he wasn't real, because we always knew.

Man, did I cry like a baby when I found out Santa wasn't real. My older brother told me and I kicked his ass. He felt pretty bad. He didn't know I'd take it so hard. I didn't even get in trouble for breaking his arm. The cuss word I wrote on his cast when he was asleep is another story... :cheesy:

Was you older brother a near seven foot australian with a mean streak a mile wide? Although I feel aussie made a good point that parents need to be aware of what they tell their children and how it will impact on others.
Did the information you were given as a child ruin someone elses christmass Sterling? Id be interested to know

[Redallnite]

My little sister kept telling me about santa! Bitch I am a sucker, I still believe!!!
