[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 351804, member: 8831"] i just did it today. :sad-very: it went WAY better than i could have ever expected. she seemingly knew, deep down inside and seemed a bit relieved. she didnt even shed a tear over it....handled it like a pro. of course, *i* am a bit sad to give up the charade!! i think, in our case, it truly was for her own good. and, at 11, its no longer an age appropriate "belief"--i didnt want her to either find out in a cruel way, or maybe worse yet, be teased for being a baby....to me, that seemed worse than me gently being honest about it. i listened to my instincts for a change, and the timing was right for us. but only YOU can decide what is right for YOUR child....you'll know if its time.
