Who came up with the tooth fairy anyways, this is ridiculous.

My kid has been talking about it because some classmates have lost teeth recently. It got me thinking the whole thing is bonkers. We're supposed to sneak in and put money under their pillow? How TF do we do this without waking them up? And HOW MUCH? Has the tooth fairy kept up with inflation?

My kids haven't lost any teeth yet. Looking for input and fun stories from parents with kids who have lost teeth!

Tooth fairy is actually what broke the “magical beings that are actually parents” for me too. Luckily my kid is only 2 and I don’t have to worry about any of these yet, but I’m really leaning towards not bothering with the lies as long as my kid isn’t one that would enjoy spoiling it for everyone else.
