As a dad with a four, three, and two year old, I’m in full support of this.
I don’t remember elf on the shelf as a kid.
The whole concept is creepy and I’m comfortable teaching my kiddos to be good to impress Santa - whose existence is on par with spider-man, superman, etc. - so he’d WANT to give them presents, for being good humans.
But I fully admit i still don’t know what I’m doing 95% of the time as a parent…
EDIT: by “in full support of this” I mean abandoning the practice of elf on the shelf, not bounding and hooding said elf
poor Elf on the shelf 🤣😂 (lemmy.world)
