You're not like a Mummy, you're like a witch.

Hahahaha!

"Daddy doesn't want to come home because you shout at him, stop being mean to my Daddy!"

"Daddy" was/is a raging alcoholic who had gone awol and spent his entire months salary over a period of five days leaving us penniless. Not only that but he had messages from another woman on his phone.

Obviously you can't tell three year olds this though.

EZA15 · 15/12/2016 18:33

I don't love you anymore. Are you listening to me?!

Yes, child I'm listening...

RedStripeIassie · 15/12/2016 18:34

Nothing worse than 'go away' yet. (3). I've got all this to come!

MsGameandWatch · 15/12/2016 18:36

From dd very matter of factly "Mummy sometimes you look like a big dog with vicious teeth"

DS1 as a teenager told me that he didn't love me and didn't know what love was. He's 18 now and has changed his mind but it was devastating at the time.

formerbabe · 15/12/2016 18:37

I'm forever being told that they want a new mum. This is because of my unreasonable demands such as asking them to put their clothes in the laundry basket, do their homework or eat their dinner.

NeedsAsockamnesty · 15/12/2016 18:39

Every year I recieve a Mother's Day card that has the following written in it

"I promise that over the next year I shall refrain from murdering you in your bed"

Some years it has a bleeding skull on the front and some it has flowers and fuzzy stuff on it.

I guess it would be more concerning if it didn't happen

SoberSusan · 15/12/2016 18:39

Said in appreciative tones: "Mummy...you look like a big giant lady."
I started my diet there and then.

J3NN1 · 15/12/2016 18:40

'Mummy, why are your boobies so long' by my then 3 year old!

I've luckily never had them say 'i hate you'. I'm disabled now and can't do as much as I used to and my middle daughter said she wished I could do things the same as the other mums did - she never meant this to be horrible, but it was rather upsetting!

Oh and when my middle daughter was 4/5 she pushed me down the stairs! Was a total accident, I had come out of the toilet and pulling my jeans up at the top of the stairs whilst talking to dd1 at the bottom, and dd2 thought it would be funny to push my bare bum. Tumbled down the stairs, jeans at my knees and I broke my finger! She still feels bad about this now and she's 9!

maddiemookins16mum · 15/12/2016 18:40

When DD was 9 she and I got into an argument over bedtime. It went rapidly downhill (due to her tiredness and my stress at my mum dying a few weeks earlier).
I shouted (😳), "just go to bed, I can't deal with this nonsense tonight, it's ten to bloody ten".....
DD - "I bloody hate you, I wish you'd gotten me adopted".
Stunned silence from both of us, I then burst into tears, she ran off.
Ten minutes later, she came back down (I was feeding the cat with my back turned to her), she sheepishly came over and rubbed my back, "sorry mummy". I just turned to her, stroked her cheek and said "love you kiddo, go to bed now, tomorrow is another day" (or words to that effect).

Disclaimer - we actually swear very little in this house, the occasional "bloody" is as bad as it gets.

Mari50 · 15/12/2016 18:41

I can't wait until you die- DD was 3 or 4.

CigarsofthePharoahs · 15/12/2016 18:52

I hate you

The toddler came up with a good one today. He is resisting nappy changes, but as yet wont potty train.
"Go way Mummy, you go change yourself."

DeadMorose · 15/12/2016 18:53

"I will call NSPCC and tell them that you beat me up every day." DS aged 10. He's 11 now and still seems to be thinking about it.
I think he might have ASD or he's a normal soon to be teenager

BdumBdummer · 15/12/2016 18:56

My niece once said to me (in front of my SIL!) "I wish you were my Mummy) because I'd been playing with her. I said "Don't be daft, I'm horrid to anyone over 10 - not like your Mum". My own dd will be 10 soon ....

DorcasthePuffin · 15/12/2016 19:00

"You're not my real mum".

"This is a terrible family and I'm going to find another one".

"Have I made you cry?" [hopefully].

mysistersimone · 15/12/2016 19:05

My 5 year old totally matter of fact with no malice "Mummy, you are fat and you are old"

Mamashark · 15/12/2016 19:09

'You are the worst Mammy eber'

  • my almost 3 year old

'You're a worrier, just like Granny, I don't need 2 worriers in my life'

  • my 6 year old
(I'm not sure which of us she is playing to cull Hmm )
Endmoor1405 · 15/12/2016 19:10

Not my DC but the little girl who I often look after whilst still in bed having had her overnight (aged 6 at the time)
DC: Why are your legs so big?
Me: They just are. Maybe I eat too much cake
DC: But mummy's legs aren't like that. If you didn't eat cake would they go like mummy's?
Me: Well maybe but mummy is built different to me anyway so probably not.
DC: How weird.

No mention of my (huge, thigh covering) dragon tattoo down said leg or the one on my foot on that side either. Just wanted to know why my legs were so big haha!

Janey50 · 15/12/2016 19:14

Not my child but my 10 year old DGD,when she was about 3. My DD was reading her 'Dear Zoo' book to her. When she turned the page to show the picture of a camel,DGD exclaimed 'Nanny!'. Of course DD thought this was hilarious.

Steviea88 · 15/12/2016 19:15

My dd1 has said to me a few times 'I want to go live with daddy, his more kinder than you' we have been split up 5 years now, and her dad has her every other weekend and it's always fun stuff, crap food, no rules, no homework and no bedtime so I can see why she would want to.

Recently she said to me 'I feel like no one loves me in this house' that one broke my heart, I was in pieces!
Dd2 is 10 months and walking everywhere and so I'm constantly chasing her around and haven't had much time spare with dd1 lately. This weekend me and dd1 are having a big girls day only.

thecatsarecrazy · 15/12/2016 19:20

Oh thanks son
I was being sarcastic.
