Question

Have your kids ever repeated anything you have said leaving you changing the subject and highly embarrassed?!?

Answer 1

not me personally but others kids, one child  who came out with the fact that something i had bought for her, her mother actually hated, out of the mouth of babes as they say.  

Answer 2

yes many times, and how can i tell them not to say it when i do????

Answer 3

Oh yes!

Many years ago my mother in law had expressed an opinion on something - when she left my husband and I were discussing it, forgetting our 7 year old daughter was in the room.

Later that week at a sunday lunch at my mother in laws, she brought the subject up again and I said 'Hmm yes I agree '  to which my daughter piped up and said 'But I thought you said Nana didnt know what she was talking about?'

There was a moments absolute silence, a look of horror on everyone's faces and then everyone burst out laughing.

A sticky moment!

Another time we had refused an invitation to a dinner party that seemed like an evening from h**l.  I was talking to the friend that had invited us as we passed in the street - daughter in tow.  'Its a shame you cant come on Saturday'  she said.  'I know, but we already have other arrangements, maybe next time'     Daughter, still 7, pipes up, 'Is that the party you said not to tell them you were lying about?'

I had to blag it and make up a c**k and bull story about a business (so called) friend of my husbands and what a nightmare he was and how we had made excuses that we were already booked.

I think my friend bought it as we are still speaking.

Moral of the story?

Never say anything in front of children that you dont want repeated!

Answer 5

When my son was 5 he was so innocent, and couldnt lie to save his life.

My mother-in-law came round with blankets and baby-gro's that she'd bought for my un-born daughter.

She'd clearly spent a lot of money, but the things she had bought were extremely old-fashioned, and not to my liking at all.

She left, and me and my son just stared at the clothes. i just sat there and started to laugh and i said to my son

"Oh Finn, what are we going to do with these? We're going to HAVE to use them, or else she'll get offended. Maybe we should just accidentally lose them in the move"-I had almost forgotten he was sat there, and we were due to move the next week.

My MIL came round the following week to "help" sort everything out. Her definition of help is to boss everyone around and make me feel like an incapable human being.

I was going up the stairs when i heard my mother in law in Lola's room where we were storing all of Skye's bits and pieces until she was born. She had clearly found the things she had bought. She must ahve been half talking to herself, but she said

"I wonder why these arent packed yet? Pass me a box Finn." and Finn just stood there and as clearly as you can get he said

"No Nanna, Mommy is gonna accidentally loose them. But it's a secret. So Shhh."

She left soon after.

I had to make a bubbling apology, and witter on about how it was MY mothers clothes that we didnt like, and since Finn sometimes got confused between Nanny and Nanna, it was an eays mistake to make.

She seemed to buy it.

What can you say though to a 5 year old?

Answer 6

sure has. my daughter is almost three and you have to be very careful with what u say around her. don't even realise she is taking notice until she says whatever u said right after u. have to pretend u said something else. keep forgetting to watch my language too...that's the worst bit.  

Answer 7

My daughter is almost three and is going through the 'parrot phase'  I cut my thumb earlier and said 'F**K IT' really loudly then llater on i phoned my mother and daisy kept saying it... oops.

Answer 8

The phone rang one night and my husband said if it's for me I'm not here, I told the caller that he was away, my 3 year old son shouted ' Yes he is here Mum, he is sat on the sofa' I went to put my hand over his mouth but misjudged and sort of hit him on the nose, he then screamed 'Why did you punch me in the face Mummy'.

I was totally speechless.

Answer 9

Whoever said Little Pitchers Have Big Ears was right but they didn't go far enough. They should have said  Little Pitchers Have Big Ears And Loose Lips! I learned early on to never say anything in front of my children that I wouldn't shout out in the center of town.

I did realize though that most of what they repeat that I'm embarrassed by is stuff I shouldn't have said in the first place. If we don't gossip or say negative things about other people our kids will never hear it so they can't repeat it.  

Answer 10

hahaha kids r so funny i def have been in this situation with my 8 year old daughter now i dont say anything in front of her coz she is like the gossip queen lol
