To ask you to share your dc back handed compliments?

My 5 year old ds was trying to cheer me up this evening and he said Mum, even though you wear glasses you still look nice! I laughed and said thank you. Then he said but you do look weird without makeup, you do need that makeup. But Mum you just look so not old and amazing!
He meant well, I think!

Ds 9 usually asks me 'are you going out wearing that? coz it doesnt matter what everybody else thinks, if you like it just wear it'...okaaaay.

"You're not a lady. You're my Mummy"

He gave me a big kiss though

"You're not old mummy, you're quite young.... Well until next year when you will be really old."

dd aged about 5, watching me put on makeup one morning...

"Mam you look lovely....Very entertaining!"

Spent the rest of the day rechecking I hadn't inadvertently applied Clown Face

In a shop, trying on a hat for a wedding, DS says mummy you beautiful. Just like the fat controller.

Not myself but a friends son.

'Mammy why does your tummy have so many faces?'
Said completely innocently as we were having a catch up in our local swimming pool.

I’ve got one of those friends who can’t just say something nice, she always has to claw it back at the last minute. She doesn’t all the time to everyone. My favourite was ‘you still look gorgeous...even though you’ve put on quite a lot of weight’.

Not me, my friend: trying on bathers and getting very down, her son says "don't worry mum, you still look great in your clothes".

I injured my eye this week and a couple of day later was checking with DS (12yo) if it looked better. "Your face looks perfect," he announced, quickly followed by, "well, normal, anyway."

I'm taking 'perfect'.

"Mum I'd be a bit sad if you died. But only a bit". Thanks, kid. 😑

I was once getting ready to go to a black-tie dinner, dressed in black evening wear. My then-six-year-old chimed in with, "Mummy, is it a fancy dress party? Are you going as a witch?" 😀

You look lovely in that dress, it reminds me of granny. It's what old people wear.

A few months ago I shaved my beard so it became a very short stubble beard “daddy, will boyfriendsname still kiss now he can see your face? I won’t anymore”. Swiftly grew it back!

You are lucky - apparently I, aged 2, screamed loudly and until I fell asleep when my father shaved his beard. He also grew it back. I think it scarred him for life

Aged two, my daughter told me I was very beautiful because I had 'such a lovely shiny face'!

I love these!

DS: “Mummy, you’re not too fat compared to a Japanese person”. Me: ? Turns out he meant a sumo wrestler...

My dd3 said I looked like a monster truck!

Getting changed from swimming with ds when he was about 3, placed both his hands on my butt cheeks and jiggled them and said "mummy I love your bum, it's so wwwwoooobly!!!!"

Love these

Ds1 at dinner " mum thabks for buying garlic bread this time and not ..." insert disdainful sniff and look at me up and down " trying to make it like last time...thank you"

Thanks dear ...My homemade garlic bread was delicious by the way

Ds2 has long had a slight issue with assuming all blond women are me (has entertaingly caused havoc for DP by running up to blonde women yelling mummy and DP having to explain to one Batshit women that no he had not trained him to do that to hit on women....the mind boggles)

However when he ran to a scare crow with painted yellow straw when pumpkin picking yelling "Mummy beautiful " ...less than touched

DN was looking through a book of ghosts and ghouls. She point at one particularly horrifying (This is a kids book so nothing too bad!) one and declared it was Mummy, which was I found hilarious until she found one even worse that she said was me!

I was dressed up to go out when DS aged about 7 said ' You look nice, but you don't look like mummy'.

Yes it was one of the rare times I was not wearing jeans and a T shirt, as we were going to a dinner for my DH work.

From dd 8 "you are quite strong..... For a woman of your age" I'm only 37... Not quite collecting my pension yet!

There was a bad pic taken of me at school. I am a teacher.
I looked like Stopit 5 chins. As I was leaning to the side with my face all squashed. A student said oh miss don’t be silly you don’t have 5 chins. You only have two!
