Hated by Your Own Children?
I cannot imagine how it feels like. My baby boy hates me? OMG, I might die out of stress.
But then, I found the phrase on the above picture. I gave it some thought. And I discussed it with Naeva.
According to her, the phrase is in a way correct. Sometimes, as a parent, you need to make decisions that your children dislike although it’s for their best.
As a result, your children might say things you don’t like such as:
- “I hate you.”
- “It’s not fair.”
- “I don’t like you!”
- And many more.
Such words can make you very very sad, although you know they didn’t really mean it. As kids, they copycat what they see from the TV, maybe, or from their friends. They don’t really understand the concept of hatred.
So, don’t overreact. Let them alone for a while. And, when you think they are calm enough, try to talk to them. Explain the situation. And end it with a big big hug.

Oh we have started to hear those words come out of our 4 yr old’s mouth….It hurts at first, but then I just learned to let it slide. Usually I say something like, “It’s ok to be angry with mommy and you are allowed to have those feelings, but remember that sometimes the words we use hurt other people - even when we don’t mean them.”
