I don’t want mummy to come

[Helookslikeamuppet]

Got period today so realising I’m probably being completely ridiculous/over sensitive...was upstairs getting ready to go for a walk with Dp, dog and toddler Dd when heard her say to dp ‘I don’t want mummy to come for a walk, I want her to stay at home and not come, I don’t want her to come, only daddy’
Was just a bit sad 🙈12 hours per day doing everything and the dad sweeps in and always gets all the glory!

My 3yo DS regularly tells me to go away and tries to push me out of whichever room he's in. It's not said with any malice, he just wants some alone time

Toddlers can be very honest to the point of bluntness. Unless you ask them what they did at nursery. "Did you do painting today?" "No." Even when they've got paint on their clothes and are literally holding said painting.

Just remind yourself it's just a fleeting moment, enjoy the peace...you'll probably get a massive cuddle and be presented with a nice stick or leaf when they get back from the walk!

My 2 year old is like this also. She is a complete knobhead.

😂😂

Same DD used to cry at nursery cos she missed daddy and the hamster. Never me

@Ivchangedmynameforthis that's brilliant 😂

In my experience empathy kicks in at 7.5 years old.
