why we grew up never believing in Santa Claus. Same here but for other reasons. People that had $$$, their kids believed in Santa Clause. I saw poor kids getting very little and put "parents/relatives income = gifts."
I think it is because it was just so clear that the money was not there. Same here Fearless when it comes to things. Dysfunctional parent/s added to the problems for me as a kid. Rides in the car were by a list of rules considered crazy by most peoples standards.
I got away and over the kid stuff/hang ups when I went to work and started to earn what I considered a good income. Then some garbage happened in my life. The income took a dive. The R suffered and here I am.
I was in first grade; they found my Dad's old bike You Lucky dog. I had to wait till I was in the 6th. grade.
