He also tells me that I just hit him when I tell him off and that daddy hit him, he is 3.5. I'm a bit worried he's go into preschool and tell his teacher "mummy hits me all the time"

We don't btw.

Perfectly normal my ds1 did the same for a time when asked directly if I do he tells the truth though

Preschool would only be concerned if there were odd marks and bruises and the childs behaviour indicated fear of physical punishment

So I won't have social services on my door then?

DS got a red rash around this neck when he was at playschool and told the teachers that i had strangled him Shock I was mortified but lucky they could see it was exma.

My DD once told anyone who would listen that I pushed her down the stairs. What actually happened was that she lost her footing and I tried to grab her as she fell!

deaddei · 30/09/2010 13:25

I used to tell teachers my mum drank all day on Saturdays- nobody batted an eyelid.

ShatnersBassoon · 30/09/2010 13:26

Normal in my experience. One of my sons told his infant teacher that I'd hit him across the head with a deckchair when she asked him how he'd got a scratch on his cheek.

Patsy99 · 30/09/2010 13:45

I was with a 4 year old who said his babysitter had hit him, everyone was worried. Then he went on to say she had strangled him and killed him.

I think it's a phase and doubt anyone would believe it absent any evidence to back it up.

When my DD2 (aged 2 just) is crying for an unknown reason and I ask her whats wrong she says 'daddy hurt me' and sticks her buttom lip out. He doesn't, obviously.

The joys of children Grin

haha!

DS1 told my mum that I had kicked him in the shoe shop. I mean...What the Jeff?

Giddyup · 30/09/2010 14:15

DS told his pre-school that "every weekend Mummy leaves me all by myself to go out to 'dance parties' with her friends". Dance parties? Mummy goes out in the 1950s it would seem!

MrToad · 30/09/2010 14:24

DS (3.2) tells me that the nursery staff hit him Shock and he tells the nursery staff that DP and I hit him!

WoTmania · 30/09/2010 16:05

DS2 went through a phase of not wanting to hold my hand when walking around in town. He would wriggle and squirm then throw homslf on the floor and wail pitifully 'ow, you hurt me! you pushed me over' Hmm.

I think most of them do it at some point

MajorPettigrew · 30/09/2010 16:14

My DS told his nursery teacher that I go out all day and he is left with the dog.
Also, if he is naughty that I shut him in a wardrobe until bedtime.

(All true.... Grin)

Oh this thread has made me laugh so much, x.

colditz · 30/09/2010 22:22

This morning, My ds2 (aged 4.5) was in such a rage about going to school that he sat down in the middle of the road.

When I Held His Hand, he pulled like a labrador and on the other side of the road, finally wriggled free and promptly smacked his head on a lamp-post.

"YOU THREW ME AT THE FLOOR AND I BANGEDID MY HEAD ON THE LAMP-POST BECAUSE YOU THREW ME AND HURT ME! YOU ARE THE BADDEST MUMMY EVERRRRRR!"

DS1 told my Mum that when I have wine I push him off the verandah. I had a glass of wine in my hand at a party and he came running past me and starting falling off the deck, I dropped my wine glass and made a grab for him but was too slow (it was only a couple of feet onto grass). I think he was about 3 at the time.

Stinkers they are.

When she was little DW was being very naughty in church and her Dad took her out to play outside. As she as being walked up the aisle of the totally packed church she shouted "Dont hit me Daddy!" Her Dad has never laid a finger on her in is life and was totally mortified of course.

DS2 once went and told the school nurse we had sent him to school with an untreated broken toe. That we had left his 8 yr old brother brother home alone with a broken arm while we had gone on holiday. He also mentioned he had once had a sister but she had been eaten by a pig.

The school nurse actualy rang me up and expressed serious concern about the broken toe. That was until I told her he had a tiny scratch on it. She apologised as she had not actually checked but just believed everything he had told her.

Rainbowbubbles · 01/10/2010 13:58

I'm actually LOL at my desk to the point that someone wants to know the joke!

priceless....glad i'm not alone ha ha!

MrToad · 01/10/2010 16:41

LOL at the sister being eaten by a pig!!

upsydaisy85 · 01/10/2010 18:16

Hmmmm i know kids can say stuff but now im concerned... My DSD often comes to our house with bruises and 'grab' marks on her back. Social services is not an option at the min so we told her to tell her teachers... im now concerned no1 will take her seriously

FallingWithStyle · 01/10/2010 18:25

Oh this thread is funny - thank god its not just mine!

UpsyDaisy85 - made up tales are very different to physical evidence of violence. So dont wory about dsd not being believed.
Also, if you believe (I assume) that she is being hit (by her mum?), and hard enought o leave marks, then can I ask why ss is not an option at this time and why you have instructed her to tell her teachers? Why isnt her father getting to the bottom of it and taking appropriate action?

Am very bemused by your post but possibly I've misunderstood....
