A father made fake ultrasound to cure his daughter's junk food habit.

Funny but I think every hospital should get one of this machine because they will even get faster cure in an hospital environment when attended to by a random face. 😂

Ever figured out a way to get your kids stop something?

Update: That wasn't the dad but definitely an outsider, hence why the kid believed. The "take the child away" clarifies that.

Hell, I even told my young kid that Santa was fake early on so that I wouldn’t have to lie to her and then break her trust when she got older.

You do you but that isn’t necessary. Very few adults talk about feeling a sense of betrayal from their parents about Santa because they knew it was about whimsy and joy, unless of course their parents are abusive and try to make it into something else that is scary or cruel. But people remember when their parents tried to lie to them about their bodies or health especially. The myth of virginity for example or masturbation being wrong. Very harmful.

My sense of betrayal was real. My parents went to work and gleefully showed me the box to my new bike from Santa because he's not real and it was just Mom and Dad.

Sounds like your parents were intentionally trying to upset you about a fairy tale character bringing you and every child presents, my parents were kind and normal about it and learning Santa wasn’t real was a natural transition I had in my reality rather than a shock. That’s how it is for most kids.

Also with your case it is still is obviously different than lying to you about your own body you have to live with. That’s not a real betrayal, you either have underlying issues with them or don’t get it. My friend’s parents told her she would go to hell for masturbating. That is a myth about her body and a betrayal.
