Inappropriate sexual conversation between step mom and child

[Ohiogal]

Yeah, you let that convo go on all too long. I would have left it at "I'm sorry. But this isn't your weekend, and (child) and I have a previous commitment. So I'm afraid it just won't be possible this time. Next time, please make sure that you contact me ahead of time so we can try to make arrangements. Sorry!" Click.

As for Santa, et al... Both of mine believed at 9. Sure, their classmates said stuff. Their Dad made it plain that Santa did NOT come to his house, whether they were there or not. And my kids asked me. So I told them what I believe - Santa is the magic and spirit of giving that lives in your heart. If you believe, he will come. Yes, they know there is no jolly fat man going around dropping off gifts. They know the Santa of our family is me. But... at 15 & 17... Santa still comes - and he brings the one thing they have really, really wanted but couldn't have for whatever reason (cost being taken into consideration). They've also embraced the spirit themselves. *I* always have a gift under the tree from Santa. They give each other something special from the big guy. They leave little treats for a few of the kids in the neighborhood. So tell me again - what's wrong with believing in Santa?

Absolutely nothing. Yes, Freeadvice, there IS a Santa Claus.
