At what age does the tooth fairy stop coming?

Kaz2904

The tooth fairy doesn't fly round our way on Christmas eve. She has an agreement with Santa as there are lots of planes flying to Bristol and Cardiff passing near us and it means the skies are too busy she also didn't come one night because DD was really, really naughty all evening. She found a lovely note under the pillow when she came the following nit and left DD a note thanking her for behaving better that day
Just £1 here per tooth. None if they're rotten because it's no use to her. She grinds them up into fairy dust to help her fly you see!

children areaged 10 & 11, and the tooth fairy still comes and leaves £2 for a tooth. But our tooth fairy takes each tooth and sends it to Nanny who lives in cyprus! basically involves a bit of 'slight-of-hand' magic when we see each other once/twice a year. i secretly hand my mum the tooth wrapped in tissue, the kids ask if the tooth fairy delivered the latest loss, and hey presto, there it is in Nanny's pocket!!

so sweet

My oldest daughter is 9 and she worked out a while ago that the tooth fairy isn't real so i don't bother that anymore with her, but my other 2 daughters 8 and 5 still believe in it so they still get a quid when they lose a tooth. 12 is definetly too old, what about father christmas:rotfl:

Regardless of when the tooth fairy stops, she never leaves £10. At that rate, the lad will be yanking out all his adult teeth on purpose!

Stops here when the dentist starts dropping them in his bin.

Perverse culture to teach impressionable young kids that a fictitious apparition which they cannot see will enter their bedroom one night and replace their fallen out teeth with money for sweets.

I don't think we'll be bothering with that stupidity. It sounds as daft as religion, heaven and hell and all that god nonsense.

My Lo's are too small but I'm not going to be the tooth fairy for them when they grow up, No easter bunny either... I only just let them have santa because my oh protested. I don't like the idea of lieing to my children, however you paint it it's a lie. I'd much rather teach them not to lie by example.

I have taught my kids that some lies are ok and some are not..
For example..It's not ok for them to lie to me, but if someone asks them say if they looked fat, i would tell them to protect someones feelings, if a friend asked me if their bum looked big in a dress, I wouldn't tell the truth so can't expect them to..

Also there's nothing like the wonder of sprinkling glitter to show the tooth fairys been, or the leaving a carrot and mince pie for santa..The look af awe in their faces is amazing and is exciting for them and for me..
