I still have a little note that DD wrote, maybe when she was 6-7 yrs, she left a tiny silver clog charm "as a token of my esteem " for the tooth fairy. Sweet ! £1 per tooth for grandchildren I think .0

Could that not turn into a bit of a farce though? Your kids could just pretend that they do and you go round in circles?
Ive got some friends, who at the age of about 15/16 pretended to their parents they believed in Santa - and literally wouldnt let us talk about it around their Mum or Dad, incase they then stopped xmas presents! :rotfl: Im not even sure their Mum had said anything about not getting stuff anymore - and if she had, she would know by that age they would clearly not believe anymore, but they kept it up 'just incase'. And she couldnt accuse them of lying - because after all she would have been the one who told them it was true in the first place!
Anyway - does anyone actually really believe in the tooth fairy? Id lost all my baby teeth by around age 8, and I never once thought it was a fairy putting 40p under my pillow! Especially when the fairy 'forgot' and a reminder to my Dad meant the money magically appeared that night :rotfl:0 -
TF forgot once with my daughter. Until I went upstairs to "recheck" with her under her pillow. There it was! :rotfl::hello:

the tooth fairy seems to have got very generous all i got was 10p for a front tooth and 50p for a molar.....
£10 is ridiculous!0 -
The tooth fairy keeps coming here until all the milk teeth have fallen out.
She brings £1, although it was £2 for the first tooth. She must get short of £1 coins though, she left 2 x 50p pieces last week.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0 -
I wouldn't worry too much about the Tooth Fairy. The Easter Bunny still visits our home and hides my kids Easter Eggs. My youngest is sixteen and my oldest is at Uni. Never too old I say.0
