What nice innocent comments have your children said to you or about you?

When Dd was about two she said to my Mum ‘I think my Mummy really likes you.’ My Mum told me she said it, and yes I do really like my Mum - and Dad.

Ahh, my 4yo is going through an appreciative phase at the moment. The last few days I've had 'You've got such a lovely voice mummy, I'm going to make you a card because you have a lovely voice' (she then made me two cards for my lovely voice!): 'you make the most yummy food, thank you mummy!' 'Ahh you're so lovely mummy.'

However last night she told me she loves me to earth and back. I pointed out that earth wasn't very far from us, and she said 'yes, I just love you a little bit that's why'

DS when he was 4 was singing 'Happy Together' after watching Despicable Me and said "I'm thinking about the girl I love... And that's you mummy!" ☺️

Every single time I'm getting ready for a run or the Peloton, DS says earnestly:

"I believe in you, Mummy!"

Gets me every time!

I put a nightlight up on DS’s room (nothing fancy, just stuck it to the wall with a command strip). When he saw it he came running over and said “You did a great job Mummy. High Five” and then gave me the biggest cuddle.
I hope he’s always going to be so easily impressed😀

My little girl who is 3.5 climbed up onto my lap after we got home from Nursery pick up and she said "Mummy, you're my hero" I had to double take and then I cried into her hair when I hugged her. It means so much to me and we left her abusive father nearly 2 years ago and have rebuilt our lives up again.
I'm welling up thinking about it now.

Oh my @EchoFoxtrot ❤️

I have a male friend I've known since uni. He lives far away so I go and stay there for a night once or twice a year to catch up. When my dd was about 4, I'd gone for such a catch up and she was out playing in the garden and the new people who had moved in next door just that week asked where mummy had gone as they'd seen me going out.

My lovely dd replied "she's gone to sleep with another man". 😱🤣

Luckily, my dh overheard and explained what was actually going on, which we later all laughed about as they became good friends.

Said to DH rather than me by DD(2) but it was super cute - 'Daddy you the most special in the world!'

I'd be more offended but I know it was inspired by the Bluey episode Library which made me laugh

Years ago a L'Oréal wrinkle cream advert came on
My son: mummy I think you should get some

I was 34!!!

My youngest came in to the kitchen saying he couldn't wait for the weekend to see his dad (he see him a lot, all good co parenting)
My reply: thanks I love you too
He did laugh and said he didn't mean it that way

When my now 14 year old son was 4 the doctor asked him where his heart was and he pointed to me!

DS (14) has a friend who's really, really, cripplingly shy. I am also cripplingly shy and see a lot of myself in her, so I tried quite hard to make her feel safe and welcome even when she could barely look at me. One day she asked me for a glass of water and I was over the moon. After she'd gone, I said to DS, 'I think H is starting to be a bit less scared of me at last', and he replied 'Mum - she really really likes you! All my friends do!' To a weird, awkward, socially anxious and deeply uncool older mum, that meant the world.

When DD1 was little she once got her words a bit mixed up and told me 'Mummy, I love you more than my heart.' It just melted me, and it still does now, when she says it 16 years later.

DD2 isn't the slightest bit gushy or sentimental. But she recently told me that she fully intends to bring up her own children in the exact same way she has been brought up, because she thinks we have done a really good job. This is very high praise indeed, from Her Ladyship.

I was putting on eyeliner one morning and DS aged 3 came in and roared "Mammy, DON'T! You'll break your eye!"

My 8 year old ds had written me the best Mother's Day cards since he could write (or tell the nursery nurse"

I love my mummy because she feeds me
I love my mummy because she makes the best food
Thanks for making my tea mummy
Thanks for buying all the food mummy

And so on and so on. Think he might have a little food obsession!

He overheard me saying I'd like a Chinese takeaway for my birthday later this month. He's stuck the menu on his wall and written "treat for mummy's birthday - I'm going to pay". Unfortunately he wrote it on the wall but I can't tell him off as it's so cute!

DS aged around 2.5 on being given a snack or something or other he wanted;

"Thank you Mummy. You are a cute baby"

DD aged about 8 loudly announced in the swimming pool changing room:

"When I grow up, mummy, I want to look just like you....only a bit thinner".

The entire changing room cracked up.

DS2 was about three when he saw me getting out of the bath one day and gasped, “mama, you look like a brilliant SEA MONSTER!” It was definitely meant as a compliment but for ages all I could think of was that I looked like some kind of enormous glistening wet whale. OTOH he did once call me his “beautiful shining mama” which was just amazing.

DS1 is adopted, and when he was little believed most seriously (in spite of my protests) that everyone has two mamas, “one to grow you and one to choose you” which I loved.

And the other day DS3 told me I was beautiful with “jet black hair and hardly any wrinkles.”

My hair is a sort of chocolate brown….

My 11 year old boy frequently tells me "you're a good mother" bless him. I do need to hear that since according to my 15 year old I'm completely unreasonable and the worst parent ever.

My 3 year old little girl was running back from the park with me and said 'mummy my legs are out of breath are yours?!' 😂

My preteen told me 'if you cut off your head mum you'd look like a teenager' twenty years later her son caught me having a shower and said Nanny look your tummy is melting. I hold onto the memory of my six-pack.

8 year old dd said to me 'I can't believe you're 42, you look about 25, you've only got, like, one line here (forehead) and a couple of little wrinkles here (eyes). What age will you go all crispy?'

"You have the best hair of all the mummies at school"
"Why is that, baby"
"Because you're the only one with three colours of hair; brown, grey and white!"
"Thank you baby"

The little boy I look after, when we went swimming, said, “Moomin, are you pregnant?”. When I said I wasn’t, he asked, “What’s in your tummy then?” … and prodded it .

DD2 who is nearly 4 "wrote me a letter" which apparently read

Dear Mummy

You are the best mummy in the world. I love you. You work hard at your job and you are such a great help to me. And if all the people saw you, they would even say "it glows".

Love from Mummy

My 3yo makes me ‘love cards’ sometimes, which are post-it’s with a wobbly heart drawn on
He also tells me I am ‘the best but ever’
