Is it normal for a 4 year to say this?

[posieflump]

My ds has just turned four. When in the park earlier he said out of the blue that he didn't love me, he just loved dd (his little sister) and daddy and that he wanted a fire to come and get me . He gets fire and shooting etc all mixed up. I didn't ask him if he loved me this was totally out of the blue.
Is this normal or should I be concerned? obviously I feel sad that he feels he doesn't love me although tbh he has always been a daddy's boy so I've kind of got used to it iyswim, and we both tell him off, give him cuddles equally I feel

I guess when he said it , it reminded me of all the times I've shouted at him, or been at the end of my tether, especially the first 6 months of dds life when I was exhausted at coping with 2lo's and I probbaly expected him to be more grown up than he was

PMSL Joash! We have a very elderly cat and my three hover over her like the Angel of Death looking for signs that her life may be drawing peacefully to a close - so they can have a puppy!

I think that sounds more like his fear coming out than how he really feels.

Joash - that's hilarious!

joash thats just had me and dh in stitches! fantastic

Joash - thanks for the good laugh!!

When my sister was 6 and I was 17 she said to our Mum "I used to love 'Me' more than you, but now I love you both the same" I felt pretty impressed with myself

DD1 once told me she wished I was covered in blood when I displeased her.

My sister once told our mum that she wished that Connie Creighton (of Sooty and Sweep non-fame) was her mother "because she's pretty"...

when i was very young - must have been about 3 or 4 I told my mum i wished she was dead. i was prob being told off at the time. anyway, she went upstairs and laid down on the bed and basically gave up living (for the day). i had no idea. dad came home and she obv told him. he made me go upstairs and apologise. I couldnt understand why she was crying. I saw my mum as a pretty weak and pathetic person from then on. She is v v sensitive. dont let it bother you.

I think that it would be very worrying for a small child egypt, if they behaved like your mother! They don't understand it,they don't mean it-they love you! You only need a quick response like 'that is OK as I have enough love for us both'and you carry on.

Ds3 is only 3.5 - if I say that he will go to his room (for whatever it is he's doing wrong) he says 'well I will chop your head off' - Gawd knows where he's got that from!

My ds1 when 4 said 'I wish you were 100 and then you would die and I wouldn't be at this bloody front door'..... I was so impressed with swearing in the right context that I didn't noticed the death wish!!!
