I've just been fat shamed by a 4 year old

'Why do mummies have to have such huge massive fat tummies?'

Along with helpful cunt exMIL this morning chirpily 'I am a bit worried about how much you want another baby, are you sure you aren't too fat to conceive now?'

Luckily last week I had an epiphany and I have been back to my diet 100% this week, but I do have 4 stone to lose.

Please can you cheer me up with similar tales of child honesty???

I'm just focusing on the time aged 6 that I told DM that she smelt like wet dog... 🙈

I'd not have minded if she'd just asked, it was the (very accurate) impersonation that I found really embarrassing. I'm sure not everyone would have taken it in as good humour as this gentleman did! 😬

Oh gawwd little ones, its worst when they say things in front of people it's the attention they draw towards you a couple of years ago when my son was 5 we had just moved to a new area and the night before I was having a moan to my oh how I hate that I don't no the other mums in the playground the next morning my son marched up to a group of mums with a piece of paper and proudly said this is a picture of my mum she wants you to chat to her (cute ) untill he said if my pictures crap she's the wobbly one over there ( little shit)

Mum had come back from a sunny holiday. She never wore sunglasses (she believed that they'd spoil your eyes) so had to squint in the sun - her wrinkles on her forehead became much more pronounced - so little Johnny asked, "What are those stripes on your head?"

Jezzifishie · 16/08/2017 18:20

We used to refer to raisins as baby crack, because the toddlers we knew went mad for them. Obviously DD (2) overheard - more baby crack mummy!! Blush

Lolly49 · 16/08/2017 18:25

Mummy why are you dressed like a fart?
My Dd then 3 I thought I looked nice in my cream shirt and brown linen trousers.
Seventeen years later and have never worn that combo of colours again.

omg, I need a blunt four year old to tell me how to up my game!

Jaxhog · 16/08/2017 18:40

I was congratulated in the post office a few years ago and asked if I wanted a girl or a boy! I don't know who was more embarrassed, me, him or the postmaster.

stillcoolhonest · 16/08/2017 18:40

In a public loo cubicle with 2yo DD when she loudly proclaimed 'mummy, you've got a MASSIVE fanny!'. I actually heard the woman in the next cubicle snort with laughter Grin

NoPressureNoDiamonds · 16/08/2017 18:48

I've had "you have hairy armpits" and "why do you have a moustache?" 🙈

NoPressureNoDiamonds · 16/08/2017 18:50

My friend got "why have you got stripy boobies?" (Stretch marks)

mummyB1 · 16/08/2017 18:54

Oh these are great, cheered me right up. Donald Trump hair Grin

We once got in a lift with DDs and another family. As the doors are closing DD2 pipes up "We're not going to DIE!"

Doing a 10k run and DD2 (again) shouts "Mummy have you got your sports bra on?!"

And I still laugh about the Loch Ness Monster picture that DD1 insisted went up on our art wall that was basically the shape of a giant cock and balls {grin] Grin

SnakesandKnives · 16/08/2017 19:08

Some of these are fabulous...."Can I stroke the punk".....Grin

My daughter aged about 5 was at grandma's and grandad's. Gd said 'wow, you'll soon be as tall as grandma'.

Dd said, 'no I won't, she'll be dead by then'.

OJZJ · 16/08/2017 19:08

Finger pointing and Mock stage whisper 4 year olds are soooo good at....
"Mummy!mummy!MUMMY LOOK that lady is EVEN FATTER THAN YOU!!!!! I am a large lady and put on a lot of weight due to ill health and ill health making it sooo much harder to lose again... Poor other woman.
Not a fat shame but of equal embarrassment
Getting his school uniform from marks and Spencer few weeks ago and bored and not wanting to queue he said in a loud voice "come on mummy, there's no cameras and no one is looking let's just pretend we have paid for it and walk out" Cue everyone staring at me.... would like to add that I have NEVER shop lifted in my life... he is only aware of cameras in shops as they are watching "naughty boys not listening to their mummies" .....

OJZJ · 16/08/2017 19:15

Out shopping with my 4YR old son (we do things other than shop usually in places far away from other humans )and he wanted to know what the razors were. I told him they were for shaving my hairy legs and armpits "YEH AND DONT FORGET YOUR HAIRY FOO FOO MUMMY "

Granny how come you are so good doing hair when you never do anything with yours ...

My Mum had a few of her friends round for coffe one day, they mentioned 'Maureen' - "Will she be coming later?" Brother (playing nearby) was around 6-7 and said "Oh, is that the lady you say wears too much make-up Mummy?" Oops!

MsRinky · 16/08/2017 19:39

My friend's four year old was very impressed that I had "put pretty sparkly tinsel" in my hair when I was still telling myself that I only had a few, barely noticeable greys.

babybaker1 · 16/08/2017 19:41

This is honestly the most laughs I've had out of a thread... ever! Ha ha I can't wait for when my little one is coming out with all sorts of funny comments!!

redsquirrel2 · 16/08/2017 19:42

Random child: "why have you drawn all over your legs?" Got my veins zapped shortly after that!

JustMeeAgain · 16/08/2017 19:52

While pregnant my 6yo told me my bum was nearly as big as my bump, admittedly I had gained 2.5 half stone. Same dd also asked if I was sure it wasn't twins when ds was just days old because my tummy was still "absolutely massive"
