My daughter stuck her head in my crotch area this evening when we were sat in the sofa, sniffed deeply then went "Agghhhh... Mummma!! You stink! You need to remember to wash your foof!!!"

I was mortified!!! Admittedly, it was day 3/4 of wearing the same jeans! 🙈😂

Didn’t mean to press envy!! Should have been Grin

Anyone here that thinks wearing jeans for 3-4 days is rank, do you wash them after just one wear?

If so, please make sure henceforth you never ever post something judgy about another posters choices such as disposable nappies or wipes, driving a 4x4 or having 67 children as 'bad for the environment' Wink

GnomeOrMistAndIceGuy · 07/02/2021 00:39

People wear the same jeans for 3 or 4 days? 😳
Yup! Pretty sure no-one dies either! :O

When my oldest ds was about 6 he turned to me while we were on holiday and said "mum you're a fat cow" he had absolutely no idea what it ment, he said it like he was telling me he like my top or something 🤣. Obviously heard it somewhere and wanted to give it a try. I wasn't fat in the slightest but I did go away into another room and have a cry 😂

BeautifulandWilfulandDead · 07/02/2021 00:44

I see no issue with wearing jeans 3/4 days in a row. DD today laughed at my dancing because my boobs were 'flopping all over the place' (no bra on). Blush

smoothchange · 07/02/2021 00:50

Wearing the same jeans is fine if you wash. If your kid is smelling your fanny through your jeans you clearly haven't washed. I'm stunned anyone would admit to being quite so vile.

Lemonsyellow · 07/02/2021 00:52

Of course I wear jeans 3/4 days in a row. That’s normal. They’re jeans.

DH and I took turns walking our puppy round the neighbourhood, and kids would come over and pet her. One kid said to DH, "I met your dog before when your Mum was walking her."

DH said "err no that's my wife!"

My DD when she was yr6, had a friend whose mum was 20 years younger than me. I had actually made a few overtures to the mum as DD had spent 18 months out of school due to her AD and I was really pleased DD seemed to be making a connection.

After a few rebuffs, DD kept asking why we weren't friends so I said that I just didn't think we had much in common.

To which DD responded;

'Is that because she's young, pretty, and has a job?

That was a skewer. I'm a CEO who took time off when DD was excluded from school at six prior to her diagnosis.

I have and never would say anything about it to her though.

Disneyforever1974 · 07/02/2021 01:05

I have 2 both involving the same child. When she was 3 my DD went to stay with my sister, whilst there they had a conversation about weight/body size shortly after in Sainsbury’s at the top of her voice said to my sister Auntie Jo your not pregnant your just fat aren’t you😂.
When she was 13 me and DD were having a conversation about working hard at school and careers and I said I wanted her to do better than I did, to which she replied well that isn’t going to be difficult is it. (at the time I was a SAHM but I was a Registered Nurse)

Leonie12 · 07/02/2021 01:09

My DD was around 8 at the time, I had just put on fresh pjs and came downstairs, she looked at me and said, "why are your boobs so droopy?" Mortified 😂

CheesyCheddar17 · 07/02/2021 01:09

I work in a nursery, I think one of the worst ones was this:

5 y/o child: Do you have a boyfriend?

Me (who was a closeted lesbian at the time): No, I don't have a boyfriend.

Child: -looks me up and down gravely- I can see that.

My 4yr old approvingly admired my new black swimming costume by saying that now I looked exactly like Hippo from Tinga Tinga Tales.

ParlezVousWronglais · 07/02/2021 01:12

You look like tinky winky.
I had a purple top on.

CheesyCheddar17 · 07/02/2021 01:18

Oh, and the countless times a child has looked at me in obvious horror, pointed at my face, and cried "what is THAT on your chin?!"

I have a mole on my face that grows hair, and as much as I trim it there'll always be a bit visible Confused I've had it for so long that I don't really think about it anymore, but at least it added weight to my claims that I was actually a witch Wink

LApprentiSorcier · 07/02/2021 01:19

Thankfully, I haven't received a put-down from a child since I was one myself.

Forgothowmuchlhatehomeschoolin · 07/02/2021 01:24

Girl l used to babysit for asked why l had a moustache!! Wasn't even that bad at the time - l am very fair haired so you would really have to look closely to see it!!

MrsCods · 07/02/2021 01:24

The other day my 11 year old said 'no wonder your own mother abandoned you'

TheNationsFavourite · 07/02/2021 01:24

I was driving on the motorway with 10 year old son. He suddenly said 'Mum? When the sun suddenly shines in like that, it glints off your moustache'.
I made a salon appointment for the next day.

I was explaining to my DC2 that I can’t remember everything so if he needs new shoes he needs to remind me to take him to the store. He said “can’t guy remember everything because you’re old mom?”

No, it’s because I have to remember everything for 4 people and most of the time for their father and I can’t actually keep on top of it all!

My daughter when she was 6, giving me a make over. When she finished she started crying & said 'it hasn't worked, you look old'!!Grin

My Dd did the same when we were jumping yesterday, although I did have a bra on Hmm. I just laugh.

I work in a nursery. I had a 3 year old look me dead in the eyes and tell me "get your shit together"
I replied I was trying.

Just before DP birthday and I was explaining to the kids that me and daddy would be the same age for a few weeks until my birthday and then I would become a year older again in birthdays. One DC "does that mean you can do whatever you want as you're the oldest?"...other DC "no. It means she'll be dead first" 😯
