Has anyones child ever said anything that made you believe they lived a past life/anything like that?

[Lottie05]

?

My dd used to say, "when I was a boy..." and spoke of how she died. When she was tiny, before she was talking properly we were watching a film where there was an unexploded bomb (nanny McPhee?) and as soon as she saw it she raised her arms and said boom! She'd never seen it before.

When she was a bit older, she would talk about her other family and how she had chosen me to be her mummy. She would talk about her other house and how she missed it. It did freak me out a bit when she told me how she had died...

One of my DC once said to me, "You're much nicer than my mummy in the olden days". Will take that as a win

DS (3.5). We were driving over a bridge and he looked at the boats and said 'I was in a boat with my other mummy, and in the water'

I asked him what he meant and who was his other mummy was but he couldn't give any answers.

I don't actually believe in past lives - lots of reasons it doesn't add up and I also don't want to believe in them- what's the point in being reincarnated if you can't remember anything about this life?

And I've heard quite often of the child saying 'I chose you as my parent' but that really makes no sense with how many children are born into poverty, war zones, abuse, etc.

All very fascinating though, and ds's comment definitely made me go 'hmmmm?'

When DS was 2 I was strapping him into his car seat and he said 'did you know I tried to come to you when you were 16 but I was too small so I had to go back again?' (I'd had TOP). Then he'd say things like 'I remember when you were old and I had to look after you' or 'that's like my old car/clothes' when he saw pictures from around 1910... seems like we've done this together before....

My DD told me t about her old family, her mummy died as did her sisters and brother, and that we’re her new family. I’m her new mummy. Proper freaked me out!

I remembered a past life when I was a child. I wore Indian clothes. When I was younger it was clear. Now it’s hazy. I definitely wore jewellery on my head and hair when I was tiny because that’s how I had looked in my past life.

Oddly very occasionally people ask me what my heritage is and where I’m from. Then they look again and are confused.

My dd always used to say she remembers being in the waiting room waiting for me to be her mum. She could describe it, and said there weren't people there just bubbles of light (she was about 2 at this point)

She also said at the age of 3 that she met her sister in this waiting room (she didn't know she had a sister at that point, she died a year before dd was born)and that her sister told her bubble that I was a good mum and looked after her 😭

She also said she met the bubble who was going to be her baby in future.

I didn't really believe in any of that kind of thing at all, but one day I went with my friend to get her tarot read, I went along for a laugh more than anything, the cards were a heap of crap but when I walked in this lady said to me "your daughter works in the nursery" I laughed and said my daughter was little and she didn't even go to nursery yet, and she said "no dds nickname works in the nursery helping all the babies who are passing through" and then gave another personal piece of information. She couldn't have known any of that as she didn't know I was coming, and there would be no way to get any of the information she said even if she did know.

All very odd, and I haven't had anything like it with my other dc.

I remember hearing the idea of souls choosing their parents after having multiple miscarriages and being absolutely devastated. No one wanted me. Even after having my DS and DD, I catch myself thinking this is why no one wanted you if it's been a challenging day. I refuse to believe a soul choses evil and abusive parents.

Wow, that gave me a chill!

I have 6 children

when I was pregnant with no 5,I was in a shop buying lightbulbs-something down there just ‘gave way’

i rushed to the nearest toilets-I was pouring with blood,so I got myself to hospital

a six hour wait later,I was scanned and told I’d been pregnant with twins but one had died-and it was likely I’d lose the other

one long pregnancy later,I had a healthy ds

anyway,he was about 3 years old,when he suddenly turned to me and said ‘me and my twin where talking and he knew he couldn’t grow in your tummy mummy,or you would have lost both of us-I went to sleep and when I woke up,he’d gone’

he’d never been told he had a twin as he was too young-I lost the baby at ten weeks

My ex

him and his wife met and married-she had two dds-he had none
they tried for a baby with no luck at all for over 4 years

theyd just about given up when he went to see a psychic

she told him that his granny when a baby for them-baby was wrapped up in a blue blanket,she wasn’t ready to hand him over just yet,,but she would soon
and that his wife would have another child,but not with him

he thought it was a pile of crap and dismissed it

a year later,she falls pregnant-it’s a boy

she gives birth-all is good

the child gets to about 4 and one day just mentions that he loved living with his ‘old’ granny-and that she loved him,but she’d said it was time and handed him over to his parents and that one day,he’d be with granny again

they divorced and the ex wife had a child with her new partner

I’m not sure if you’ll see this but please don’t think that. If we do choose our mothers/family it’s because we have a lesson to learn which that family will provide. We don’t choose mothers because they’re nice and reject them if they’re not❤️

Yes. But I know that doesn't happen. So I knew it was a dream, a pretend, something they overheard or something they read.

My husband had a car accident a few years before dd was born. The car flipped and he said he heard a female voice saying ‘duck your head and you will be ok’. He did and was ok when the car landed on the roof.

At the time told me about it and said it was clearly a female voice but rationalised it as his own brain talking to him.

As far as we know he never mentioned the accident in front of dd but when she was about 2 or 3 we were all driving past where the accident happened and out of nowhere she said ‘This is where we were upside down in the car’.
Very spooky!

This is so sweet 💗

I bet he's mispronuncing. Have you see the movie Lion

The one important thing to take form this thread is that children hear, understand and take in a lot of things before we think they can-and we should be careful what we say in front of them.

@Marvel23 no don't believe that. My dad's parents were monsters and didn't deserve children yet they had dozens. There's no way anyone would choose them for parents!

When my son was pretty tiny- I think about 15 months, not talking in massive sentences at all- we were visiting a Neolithic burial chamber in Pembrokeshire and he said in a much more mature voice ‘ hmm, me not been here long time, I remember this’ - that was the most he had ever said and was really quite startling!

My friends little boy, about 2 1/2 - 3,was drawing a picture. She asked him to tell her about it, (avoiding the 'what is it?' question) and he nonchalantly said 'Oh, that's when I died, I couldn't get out.' I saw the picture, it looked for all the world like a tank on fire. He never mentioned anything like that again, and she was happy to not pursue the subject in case it upset him,

Yes. But my dd also used to make us pretend we were a family of pencils and my ds insisted he was a knight in armour for about 3 months. They say all sorts of random shit.

Shameless placemark.

I’m sure I’ve mentioned this on MN before but the DD of close family friends lived in a nearby Victorian house with her DP and 2 DC both under 5. The youngest DC a boy was 2 if that and in his bedroom would look towards a corner of that room that he saw an old Grey lady. My friend is very non woo and ignored it but she was baffled by it. They’ve now moved.

A friend of mine, at the time had a 3 year old boy who loved anything to do with boats and cruise ships and loved to draw them, he was very good and they looked like they had been drawn by a professional.
Since he was younger than 3 he would always talk about being on this particular cruise ship that he drew and how he helped design it before it broke, which she put down to his imagination.

I am paraphrasing here as im not sure of the exact words but it really stuck with me.

One day they were all watching a documentary on the Titanic, it was about building the Tiantic and how the design could have changed to possibly avoid or survive the iceberg collision. She said he jumped up and said he was on it and that he helped make the ship. She finally asked what his name was and he said it was Tom and he had a wife called Helen and a daughter called Liz and his dad was called Tom too and his mum was called Liza and that he tried to help everyone on the ship but he couldn't because there wasn't enough boats for the children so he had to go.

Freaked out of course we looked this all up and we truly believe he was the reincarnation of Thomas Andrews who was the Titanic ship builder. His dad was Thomas, his mum was Eliza, his wife was Helen and his daughter was Elizabeth.

He almost 9 now so doesn't remember this but is still obsessed with all things drawing.

WinterFoxes, there is no light inside the uterus, so no fetus would ever know it was red - it would simply be pitch black darkness!

I have a twins- my daughter told me that I'm not her real mom, she had one before and she waited in the sky( heaven?) till her brother gonna be able to join her and then they came together to me.
Needless to say that my son kept telling me that I'm his most beloved and favourite mom.:)
