Hmm not got to that stage with DD only being two but I like to think I'll tell her that he cant come when you reach a certain age cos of the new babies, that way they dont ruin it for siblings. Other then that they kind of figure it out, I Know I did.
But I gues before they start Seniors/high school so 9/10 I suppose
i found out 4m my rotten sister wen i was 7 tht santa wasnt real i was devastated!!! i believed in the tooth fairy till about 11!!9i used 2 build fairy houses in the garden ) but my wee bro is 10 n he dont believe whereas my sis who is 9 does so i guess it depends really lol sorry tht prob nvr helped u 1 bit!!!
Oh blimey, I wouldn't tell them until they come to me and ask because they have heard someone say, there is no way I would take that magic away from them.....jade is 8 and she loves the thought of father Christmas and gets so excited, I wouldn't have it any other way, it does not last long their innocence, so don't be in any hurry to ruin it! It is magic when you are a kid and have all these things to believe in! x
My sister is 11 and we know she doesnt believe in him (mainly because she cant keep a straight face when talking about "father xmas!!) but she pretends to mum and dad that she does still believe in him !!!
Some boy at school told me that he wasnt real and i didnt belive him at first, so i said "yes he is real because ive heard him...na na na na na" and he said "nope its your mum and dad" .........was heartbroken !!!!
i think its all about the spirit of christmas and father christmas is a part of that so he may not be a real person, but he is a part of the magic.
I dont ever remeber being told there wasnt a father christmas etc,
i figured out the tooth fairy etc.
i have never been told and my dad still would not admit it if i asked him now, the way i did realise though was just by me saying to my mum
"what have you got me for xmas, dont worry i wont tell carl(little brother) there is no santa and she just agreed with me."
but no ild never sit down and tell them
i never believed in the tooth fairy though
but im not even trying to be funny... i honestly swear i believe in father christmas. flying raindeers the lot
i think its out of order though that santa gets all the thanks from the kiddies
but still now when i open my presents from my mum i say
"wow mum look what i got"
) but my wee bro is 10 n he dont believe whereas my sis who is 9 does so i guess it depends really lol sorry tht prob nvr helped u 1 bit!!! 
what? sants is a fake????????
