When mom and dad are separated or divorced, they may harbour different ideas about child\u002Drearing. And some things, the courts can\u0027t resolve.
Disagreements about how to raise children are frequently the subject of court cases. Parents often fight over which activities children should do after school, the cost and the transportation. When families are separated, these disagreements take on new meaning, and often, new consequences, as one parent’s activity of choice may suddenly be quite a distance from the home of the other.
The ex-husband who opposed the Tooth Fairy made arguments like this: the Tooth Fairy isn’t real. The world is already full of miracles, and things that are difficult to fathom . Aren’t parents just encouraging their children in the direction of consumerist nonsense? Many children in the world do not get a Tooth Fairy, in the same way that children who don’t grow up with Christmas do not have an experience of Santa Claus.
The mental gymnastics involved in resolving this problem were legion. How could the mother present a compelling different point of view to her child? Perhaps the doors of his father’s childhood home were too well locked, and the Tooth Fairy could not get inside? Maybe the Tooth Fairy only comes if you believe in her? Finally, she settled on doing the Tooth Fairy in an ordinary way, leaving money and a very short note, in exchange for the tooth, which she discarded.
