Hits to the Mommy-Ego

November 7, 2012 by OneMommy

 

 

It was a rough day on the ol’ mommy-ego.

We were playing store today.  My little girl was running the cash register and I played the part of various shoppers.

At one point she said, “Now pretend to be a beautiful woman, Mommy.”

I laughed and said, “Oh, I have to pretend to be beautiful?”

“Yes, Mommy, you’ll have to pretend to be beautiful.”Funny things kids say

(Really, she said I have to pretend?  I mean, look how great I looked after my trip to their beauty shop this summer!)

 

The sting of that was just going away as we started getting ready for bed.   After reading one book together, my husband took our daughter and I took our son to read their second book and sing lullabies.

That’s when my son, who has always been momma’s boy, told me, “Don’t want Mommy!  Bad Mommy!”

      Really, she cracks me up, even then because she doesn’t know how it sounded. 🙂

    Oh, I’d be sobbing at that one! Heck, I cried when mine didn’t want me to rock him for a couple days in a row. Kids growing up is tough for us mommies!

    Ages and stages. Sometimes the just stomp on our hearts and egos, no?

      Yes, I’m sure it won’t be the last time! At least she didn’t mean it to sound the way it did…. I think.

    Oh no! I am sure it was just a harmless thing that she didn’t really think through! Kids do that. My kids are both and school so now my oldest occasionally thinks it’s cool to pick on me in front of friends. The one time she told her friend “Look Mom has a belly and looks like she is getting fat.” Ummm really?? I had to laugh because she didn’t mean to be mean, just trying to be funny I guess 🙂

      Oh, I know neither of them meant to hurt my feelings. Mostly I thought it was funny that she didn’t understand that what she said could be taken that way.

      After reading your story I don’t know whether to laugh or just commiserate with you. At least your daughter was sticking up for you!

    Nothing like a child’s honesty to bring a mommy down. Yet, you know they love you with all their hearts. And you are beautiful to them. It’s just what TVs and movies portray women as. So unreal, and so unfair to women.

    Oh, those moments are humbling, aren’t they? My little one had plenty of these unintentional zingers aimed at me this weekend :/ so the feeling is all to (recently) familiar.
