SD13 still believes in Santa. How old is too old for a kid to believe in Santa?

Wow. Are you sure she still believes or does she just want you to think she does? That seems a little old to not have heard the truth somewhere, even if she hasn't figured it out on her own.

I'm 34 and know Santa isn't real, but still believe in him, if you know what I mean. I know he doesn't exist but it makes me smile.

Maybe someone has told her that Santa doesn't exist, but she feels the same way as me. Maybe BM has told her.

Whatever the case, I think her dad or mom should tell her. If they don't, surely she will find out from a peer at school.

I found out on my own around 11. I won't tell her Santa isn't real, that is up to DH and BM or she finds out on her own. But I was thinking 13 is a bit old.
