Is it okay to tell your kids that Santa Clause will punish them?

Question

When I was a kid,I was told that Santa Clause would pour hot pepper in my eyes, if I was bad. I had nightmares for weeks.

Answer 1

your better off by just telling them the truth. YOU are santa claus. and if they're not good, they ain't gettin' ****. truth be told. LOL and whoever/whichever parent told you that as a kid, they better be lucky child protection wasn't so strict back then. that's a form of mental abuse. but, maybe it could be because they were told the same thing when they were kids. break the cycle bro.

Answer 2

I tell my kids that Santa Clause will put coal in their stocking or not bring them presents if they are bad, That he doesn't like to give bad boys and girls presents if they are misbehaving. If they don't want to mind and you think they have been really bad do what you said he would do. Christmas time get them presents but don't put them under the tree and put coal in their stockings. Then later on Christmas night tell them that Santa felt sorry for them and brought some presents but next year he won't if they still be bad kids!! It worked with mine last year. They are a little bit better for me LOL!!!!! I know it ruins Christmas morning but you have to follow through with what you threaten, and how will Santa Clause punish them in person unless you go all out and put the suit on to do it. Now that would be cruel!

Answer 3

Why would anyone tell a child such a horrible story? No, it's not okay. If you don't want your child to believe in Santa, then tell them the truth, but never use such a kid-friendly personna for evil purposes. If a child needs to be punished, that's the parent's job; not kindly, old St. Nick.

Answer 4

Well it's alot better than telling your kids the real reason Santa isn't going to come. That you bought crack w/ the Christmas money. Why? Have you been a bad boy?

Answer 5

Nooo, poor little kids!!!! Tell them that Santa Clause is watching at them and if they don't behave, Santa won't get any present for them (at least this way you don't scare them)

Answer 6

No, I don't think using Santa as a weapon to scare or threaten torture on children is a good thing. I guess I can understand the whole "Santa is watching you" threat as well as the "If you're not good, you won't get gifts" but threatening bodily harm is just wrong.

Answer 7

u will have better results if u tell them that if they are bad you will call michael jackson to come over and play with them. but if u really like the santa idea say they wont receive gifts, not the pepper stuff. u just said u had nightmares. but were u better after that, i wonder?

Answer 8

you ought to feel embarrassment about your self. what type of social gathering are you placing for the boy? right here you're married to Mr. Owl and also you've a boy chum??? shame on you, god receives you for that. it is what you do - you could play that bf or husband (which ever one you want), tell your newborn to ask "Santa" for a diamond neclace or new vehicle or inspite of present you want. Then at the same time as your bf tells you what the newborn needs, you could say he has to get it for him or the newborn gained't imagine that Santa is genuine. That way at the same time as the newborn receives the reliable things you could "carry" it for him. After many years you ought to opt to promote off the bf or he would get smart. you could continuously get yet another sugar daddy.

Answer 9

No, it's not ok. If the kid needs to be punished, then punish them. Don't use threats about Santa. Jeeesshhhhhhh.

Answer 10

OF COURSE NOT.Never destroy the innocence in children.Only adults will do such a thing as pour hot pepper in a child's eyes.What unforgivable deed you committed to have you deserve such punishment as a child??This is so crazy,I'm so sorry for you,you must've felt very traumatised.
