"It's ok, Mummy, we like you being frumpy."

ChristmasTreeCat · 15/12/2016 21:19

My 2 yo, with tears streaming down his face after I'd stopped him from throwing himself out of the window... 'Mummy, you not cool. My daddy is cool'.

I've since had Daddy confirm to him that he wouldn't have let him throw himself out of the window either...

"You're the worst mother in the world" my 10 year old on my making her put a sock and shoe on her sore toe in order to go to school.

I thought maybe I should get a badge, make it official. Totally took with a pinch of salt, she is actually very clingy to me at other times, just having pre-teen angst I think.

Who is older , you or nana Confused

"You have ugly spots Mummy."

😳

I asked him if I look like Princess Leia and he said "no jabba." He's only three so I let that one slip.

pklme · 15/12/2016 21:42

You're worse than the Dursleys
You're a big ugly troll!

CheshireChat · 15/12/2016 23:13

My 2 year old called Miss Piggy "mummy" when she came on screen. Repeatedly.
I'm going on a bloody diet.

Next day he called a peacock the same thing so I'm not sure that makes it better or worse as it's fairly descriptive (I've got blue, purple and green hair right now).

DigestiveMuncher · 15/12/2016 23:26

Cheshire my DD said the exact same about me!!

CheshireChat · 15/12/2016 23:35

My DP said I should be flattered- DS is saying I look like a celebrity Hmm Confused Grin.

BigBangTheory789 · 15/12/2016 23:35

I hate you, you're the worst mum ever... When my 8 year old DS was asked to clean his room and my 7 year old DD wasn't allowed to put nail varnish on Hmm

5 minutes later they're back downstairs asking for snacks as if nothing happened...

FiddleFigs · 15/12/2016 23:37

Last week DD (nearly 3 yo) said "I don't think you should live in this house anymore - it's just for me and daddy. You can live with Granny."

Granny lives in Kenya. I know she's only 3, but it really did hurt my feelings!

PurpleTraitor · 15/12/2016 23:44

Don't love you, I hate you, I want you to go and live in the garden!

Still young enough not to be overly insulting and is vaguely cute.

Why are you crying?
I'm sad about my mum dying
But that was yesterday!

That was a good one.

Largemelons · 15/12/2016 23:49

My dd is ASD and can be very blunt and quite hurtful sometimes. She was saying something and I commented that she reminded me of myself.
'That's not good'(her)
'Why not'?
'I'd hate to turn out like you'.
She was 10 and it really hurt! She's said so much worse lately but it's in anger. This was matter of fact.
Dd4 (5) told me I was a horrible mammy and she was going to ring childline because she'd learned about the number st school.
Because I wouldn't find her bloody sylvanian family baby at 10pm when she was supposed to be asleep.

panicovernow · 15/12/2016 23:52

Returning home from hairdressers before attending a wedding. Then 4yo DD said Mummy you look like Nanny McPhee!!!
Gee thanks sweetieHmm

DramaAlpaca · 15/12/2016 23:56

'You're the least intelligent person in the family.'

Thanks a lot DS, who was about 9 when he came out with that one. He did later apologise and said he doesn't really think I'm stupid.

My teenage niece to her mother, 'You actually look much better in that photo than I thought you would.'

Gwenci · 15/12/2016 23:56

Me: "I love you DD, you're my little friend."
DD: "You're not my friend, you're just my mummy."

I think it was maybe sort of a back handed compliment...somehow...

Myamerican · 16/12/2016 00:09

2 year old ds came back from night at grandmas house:
Me: hello baby, I missed you so much!
Ds: I didn't miss you, I miss Nanna

Another time after my Saturday lie in when DH is off work:
Me: good morning dh and ds
Ds: Not good morning go back upstairs now daddy's my best friend

UnbornMortificado · 16/12/2016 00:21

Get out my room.

Age 3 Hmm

sugarplumpfairy · 16/12/2016 00:35

''Why is your tummy so movey'' and ''your bum looks like an udder'' Smile

Annie592 · 16/12/2016 02:03

Crying with laughter at these!

splendide · 16/12/2016 05:44

Mine only just turned two but I wasn't allowed to eat the food he'd painstakingly prepared with his toy pans.

He'd set me a place, made me sit down, put a plastic pepper on my plate in front of me. Then when I pretended to eat it he shrieked "no no mama. dad dinner DAD DAD"

ohlittlepea · 16/12/2016 06:04

Oh so many things ' I wish I could throw you away,' 'your not my mummy anymore' 'i can't love you and you can't love me!'
All when she's tired or hungry, she's 2. I believe on MN the term is 'spirited' :D

Bit alarmed by some of the adult reactions on here...most of the stuff our kids are saying is just impulsive (which their brains are set up for in the toddler and teenage years) or role playing/ trying things out. It doesn't mean they dislike us. There shouldn't be long term implications for them of us nursing these words and applying them to our parenting relationships.

PossumInAPearTree · 16/12/2016 06:41

I have a 15yo so am used to the "I hate you, fuck if and die" type comments said in anger.

But she once very cooly in the middle of a nice day with no arguements said that when me and dh are older she won't come and visit us because she doesn't like us very much.

Wriggler79 · 16/12/2016 07:13

I'd been telling someone at work how my kids always tell me I look beautiful if I put makeup on/wear something nice (probably because it happens so rarely!). Shouldn't have been so smug.
The next day, DD(9) was teasing me about my fat bum and DS(11) rounded on her, saying "DD! Don't be so mean! You know she's more concerned about her 'tache!!". Just as I was laughing about that DP came in from shopping with DD(7) and said "I told DD we should see if we could spot any ladies with boobs as big as Mum's on the way home in the car", and DD piped up, "We didn't see any!!". Brilliant cheers family 😂
