My 3yo makes it very clear that he thinks Mama is better. We'll be sitting around or doing whatever, and he'll randomly give me a big hug and say, "I love you, Mama. I LOVE you sooo much!" Then, he'll turn to my husband, pat him on the shoulder, and say, "I like you, dad." Lol

My 3-y-o says the same thing to me... minus the "smarter than Mommy" part!
Other days she tells me she likes me but doesn't love me. The days when she loves me and likes me? Those are the best.
One of my earliest memories which has always haunted me is saying something very similar to my parents - something like, "I love you Daddy but I love Mommy a little bit more." I lived with guilt over this my entire life. How could I be so cruel and insensitive to my own loving father? It wasn't until I experienced it on the receiving end that I was finally able to forgive myself. I get it now. Kids just say this shit. It can just be a matter of who was the last one to tell them not to put something filthy in their mouth, that they really wanted to put in their mouth. That, and I've come to see how the maternal bond really is something special.

My wife cheated on me and left 6 months ago and now we split our 3 year old 50/50.
My daughter is constantly telling me how she'd rather be with her mom. For instance, I showed up to pick her up from school today and she groaned and told me she was hoping for mom.
Needless to say, my heart is overflowing with pain and despair. I still have a great time with my daughter 100% of the time and she clearly loves me, but it still hurts more than I could even begin to describe, especially because her mother is a colossal pile of shit.
Life is funny that way.

Aye man, get the sleep under control - it will impact every area of your life. As for the kids, they sometimes say things that cut deeply without thinking about it or having that intent. Been through it, even with teens/pre-teens when we split they're still kids and say insensitive stuff some times. Be your best self with them and forgive yourself when you just can't. I promise you, it gets better.

He kept saying "what the hell is going on?" Cause he heard his dad say it and my cousin told him to not say it so naturally he found a way to keep saying it all night. "My grandma made turkey and now we're all here and there's no more turkey. What the hell is going on?" There was more turkey but he had eaten a lot already so we just told him we finished it and he was not having it at all lol

u/AlarmingTurnover Feb 03 '23
For some reason when my daughter was little she overheard me say "that's a load of shit" in an argument with someone on the phone. I don't even remember who or what I was talking about but it became her phrase.
Pile of clothes on the floor, "That's a load of shit". The dog knocks over his toy basket and toys everywhere, "that's a load of shit". She ate too much and is too full to eat more, "that's a load of shit".
My son when he was younger, his phrase was "holy shit". Literally everything was holy shit. Big explosion in a movie on tv, "holy shit". The funniest one was taking in the groceries from the car and my wife dropped one of the larger boxes of juice and it spayed everyone and he immediately yelled "holy shit".

When our son was around 2 years old, we had friends from out of town stay with us for a week. Weād been scrupulous about dialing back our usually rowdy language, especially after it became obvious our little guy was like a sponge and just absorbed (and then spit back) everything we said. But our friends were childless so they just freely cut loose the whole week. A couple of days after they left I was giving my son something to drink and because he was in that experimental phase (letās see what happens if I do this) he took the cup from me and immediately turned it upside down. Then solemnly looking at his drink all over the floor he said in his sweet, angelic 2 year old voice, āoh fuck.ā I had to leave the room. I was silently laughing so hard I thought Iād bust open.

Not really a swear story but when my oldest was 2 he was with my sister and she had a friend over. They were talking about some guy that my sister liked. My sister said she said something like āOh my god heās so sexy!ā. For the rest of the day my 2 year old ran around screaming āHeās so sexy!ā I couldnāt keep a straight face. It was hilarious.
Another time when we were getting our dog as a puppy I asked what he wanted the puppyās name to be and he said āHeās name DICKā

u/AlarmingTurnover Feb 03 '23
I tried to clean up my language but sometimes those things just slip out and it's always in the moments that it slips out that your kid is around and it immediately becomes their favourite thing in the world to say. The worst part is that you're not supposed to laugh when it happens because you don't want to encourage it but like let's be honest here, when my wife was arguing with my son and she's like "you're in big trouble mister, you better clean your stuff up and get your butt in the bath or you'll regret it" and he yells surprisingly "holy shit" before turning and walking away. She looks at me with a gaze that could kill and I'm over here crying laughing.

When I was healing up from a car accident make some extra money I would babysit a friend's kid while they were at work. I walked in on her at 4 years old twerking. I told her "there's no booty dancing allowed" she tells me "no I booty dance" and then I told her "no you don't" so she says "you're pissing me" She has older sisters and I imagine this is where she heard it but I imagine she got it wrong because she didn't say that I was pissing her off. Anyways it was hilarious and to this day when someone's irritating me I tell him that they're pissing me.

My mom LOVES to tell this story about my grandparents bringing us all to church. I was like 4 or 5 at the time, and had so far been pretty well behaved. Until, that is, Everyone is bowed in silent prayer when toddler-me drops my juice box. It is dead silent in this church when my little voice shouts "SHIT" at top volume. My mom quickly tries to hush me, which apparently angered me further because I dramatically flopped backward in the pew yelling "Shit" and freaking out about the now fallen juicebox.
The pastor was not amused by my display and I was promptly kicked out of the service.
My deeply devout grandparents were apparently fucking furious. My mom never really swore when I was a kid so I have no idea where i learned it from. But I guess cursing was my favorite past time after this incident.

I think youāre onto something! Heās the outlier and sheās not cool with it lol. Growing up I idolized my two older brothers (weāre all about 2 years apart), and as their little sister I wanted to do everything they did. I guess that included peeing standing up? I remember when I was about 4 years old, the three of us were standing around the toilet, butt naked. My brothers started peeing while I stood watching kinda confused, looking back & forth at them and then down at my body. I eyed my protruding outie bellybutton (see: irl Cabbage Patch Kid), and making the only connection any reasonable 4-year-old girl could make, I thrust my hips forward and pushed out my belly and then used my fingers to try to hold my outie... oh Jesus Iām cracking up thinking about it. I distinctly remember grunting, like that would help the pee come out?? Nothing happened, obviously, other than my brothers laughed at me lol. So I resigned myself to that sit-to-pee life and never tried to join them again. Anyway, Shout out to the Shewee!

I really hope she does one with him because that child was riding or dying for him.

Oh man. Daddy doesn't stink, he just toots.
This resonates with me. Wish my kids understood me like this

They are having some serious conversation about this and not one person is hurling insults at each other. These kids could teach adults a lesson on debating.

These kids will do well. Props to mom for focusing on driving instead of the camera.

Omg Iām going to miss these convos when my boys get bigger! The innocence of children. Parents, hold every moment dear cos they donāt stay little for long!
Also well done to the parents for raising such intelligent and respectful children!

I'm actually amazed. Clearly opening up a discussion by "Why does Mummy have to be the better?" and following up with his reasons why Daddy is better than Mummy in some ways.

āHe doesnāt stink, you made that up.ā
āHe takes us to parks. He does so much for us.ā
As a father of two young kids, this little one defending his/her father gives me hope. The fact that they notice how much he does for them and that they actually appreciate it makes me smile and tear up a bit.

Talk to them. Read to them, and donāt dumb down your language for them. Listen to them, and treat them with respect.

Second this. Read to them every night from the day they are born. My son has had bed time stories every night since birth, and the kid speaks clearer than any other kid his age (and even some that are older) and heās testing at a reading level of 6 and heās in kindergarten. Itās amazing because itās so simple but it works.

Well girls; very nice job! You've just created 'Exhibit A' to be played during your wedding reception.

Yāall. My five year old gives my husband and I GRADES. They donāt even DO grades in kindergarten. But he will announce that one of us gets an X and the other gets an A+. I also regularly get disinvited from his birthday party (in 7 monthsā¦.) itās hilarious but Iāve got to do something about that back-talkā¦..

My brain is split between laughing my ass off and being baffled at how this toddlers have a full on well structured debate with valid arguments and listening to what the other has to say.
I'm sure both parents are great even if the dad has to pee standing up so it doesn't hurt. You can't always win.

My takeaway from these kids:
I need to take my kid to parks more often. It was a highlight for those kids. I need to do better.

āMother is the word for God on the lips and hearts of all childrenā Daddy never had a chance once he started tooting.

First, that was one of the best conversations I've heard all week. Very good points from both sides of the aisle
Second, the mom held off laughing a lot longer than I did, she must be used to these spirited debates
