My child hates me today because...

[Littlemissloopylou]

...because he's a teenager and I told him if he does his chores (only 4!) then he will get his pocket money, if he doesn't then he won't. Obviously I'm being unreasonable and need a visit from SS.

Why does your child hate you today?

[jhb2013]

Because I looked at her when we were travelling in the car (DH driving!)

[PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks]

"I'm going as fast as I can!"

[PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks]

Because I told him to keep walking or we'd be late for school.

DS15 because he couldn't find his clean socks in the hell hole that is his bedroom this morning, because I told him he'd miss his lift to school if he didn't hurry, because he forgot he's lunch, because he didn't realise I'd made him lunch - not that I make him one everyday. DD2 because she doesn't want to eat my dinner- I hadn't offered her any, and because I had to put her down to cook dinner for everyone. 2 out of 4 isn't too bad

First day back at school cue tears because a school uniform had to be worn, homework needed doing, iPads weren't given the second they were asked for and despite standing in the middle of Tesco's asking what they wanted for dinner and being told they didn't mind, fish fingers and chips were not the pizza/pasta dishes they actually wanted and I should have been able to tell this!

[BertieBotts]

Oh gosh. Well, this morning, it was because I didn't wake him up. Then, I didn't turn on his light (this was confusing, because normally he hates me for turning on his light, so I had decided it might be kinder to stop that).

Then that I tried to wake him up so unreasonably when he had to go to school. Then I had washed his favourite clothes ( the utter arse of me!) and forced him to wear a pair of trousers which were literally the worst thing to happen to him EVER IN HIS LIFE.

He's only nine should I be afraid?

[thethoughtfox]

Because I won't glue cheese inside an envelope

[PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks]

Thank you! 😆😆😆😆😆😆#proud

[Littlemissloopylou]

Well done for not giving in!

[SamanthaH92]

Because she didn't want to go in her pram so i let her walk to where we needed to be. Apprently walking back isn't as fun and she continued to scream, paddy and throw her self on the floor because i refused to carry her ( have spd and 18 weeks pregnant!). Que all the looks and even a comment of a lady!

[PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks]

I won't let her hit her brother.

[Gordonbennit]

You have thumbs hahaha we just can't win eh

[Gordonbennit]

in the morning they will hate me for....

Not allowing chocolate biscuits for breakfast from the 3yr old

No computers before school from 5yr old

The fact I didn't go shopping today and buy strawberrys ready for breakfast from the 8yr old

All this will be before 8am! - thank goodness for then to make me feel warm & loved

[DoJo]

Another early morning today, and by 10am he was in floods of tears because, despite begging me not to, I have thumbs.

Literally no idea what his problem is, but contenders for 'Worst parent of 2018' need to get in line behind me...

[Littlemissloopylou]

No hate here today but they are milily irritated that I made them shower. You know, so they don't smell for school tomorrow. tut!

[converseandjeans]

Because we both drove across town to watch her play in a football match which on arrival she decided she was too tired/cold to play. She was adamant she wanted both myself & DH there. We watched the match to support her team. Wasted a whole morning driving there and back & watching the match. On returning home a note went on the bedroom door 'do not come in'. We were too busy doing the jobs we could have been doing earlier - had she not made us drive across town - to want to go in anyway. It's hard being nearly 10...

[PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks]

I'm really puzzled. What am I doing wrong? They still don't hate me!

[drspouse]

Because I won’t let her wee standing up but her twin brother is allowed to!
My DD was cross because I wouldn't let her lie on her back on the potty to wee.
Funny that as it goes all over the floor.

[PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks]

I might start poking DD in a minute! 😈

[Littlemissloopylou]

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks you clearly didn't try hard enough!

[PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks]

Mine still don't hate me!

[Alb1]

Because he didn't want to eat chicken! I wasn't offering him any...

But he did later forgive me, I got him a drink and he said 'yes that's good mummy! Good job! I like it when you play nicely' and he forgave me for being naughty, I even got a cuddle, he's really in to parenting me at the minute

[babybrain86]

Because I won't let her chew on the dogs blanket! The dog isn't helping though - she keeps taking it to her 😱

[Littlemissloopylou]

Biggest teenager hates everyone today because he spent 5 hours at his hobby place but didn't get a chance to play (warhammer) - he could have played, there was a space, there were people to play, and I pointed all this out at the time and encouraged him to go play but he hung back not doing anything and the space was taken by others so sulks, grunts and big sighs all the way home while telling me he's unbelievably depressed and I shouldn't have taken him.

Sorry, next time I won't drop everything I need do for a full day in order to take you somewhere you want to be

[BigSandyBalls2015]

Because I'm refusing to buy her vodka for a party tonight .... she's 16. I'm the only parent who is 'so uptight about everything apparently'.

I'm suggested other alcoholic drinks she could take, I'm not saying no to all of it - a few beers/ciders/whatever .... just not spirits.
