Parents!!! Would this hurt you if your children said this to you???

Question

"Don't talk to me anymore"

Answer 1

Depends on the situation.  My 8 yo  daughter gets frustrated when I am trying to have a conversation with her and she is trying to read.  I have learned to respect her time and ask her when it would be a good time to talk.

Answer 2

No. Most often it's because they are frustrated about something that you've don to them or punished them for.

Answer 3

if you have a teenager who said this, no --it is a phase and all kids go through it......do not take it personally, kids hormones are all mixed up--she/he will soon regret it and apologize

Answer 4

Nope not a bit, kids and teens will be kids and teens

Answer 5

Kids say that kind of thing all the time. As far as my kids,only the oldest. He has a foul mouth. We are always telling him to watch his language, improve his language, work on his language. etc.  We probably tell him more than him tell us. lol.

The girls, maybe jokingly. Comments like that are a dime a dozen. Its the choices that can have an impact.

Answer 6

at first yes but i'm sure the sting would wear off soon.

Answer 7

Absolutely not.My 5 year old says it daily when things don't go her way. I say, "Okay!" and walk off. It takes about 5 seconds until there is an apology.

I will not be controlled by guilt trips.

Answer 8

No, it wouldn't hurt me too bad, but it is pretty disrespectful of a child to say that to you. It would really hurt me if they said that they hated me.

Answer 9

Personally, in a way it would just make me mad if my kid back talked me like that. Some parents are more sensitive, which is not a bad thing. You have to realize that parents have to raise you, and that is a whole lot of stress. Unfortunately, you will never really realize until you have a kid. So...go easy on your parents lol.

Answer 10

Well..im 17 and i say to my parents..but i dont mean dont talk to me ever i mean it like to drop whatever the subject we were talking about if you know what i mean?

And my parents know i mean like that way

Answer 11

No not at all, Parents are parents NOT friends...If it does hurt parents then they need to grow up. If they are that sensitive they need some serious help

Answer 12

no

Answer 13

no.

Answer 14

I'd be grateful, but then again I have a teenager so that speaks for itself. Of course, when she would ask for something I would just remain silent until it drove her nuts because she didn't mean to not ever talk again.

Answer 15

well i dont know if im the best person to answer this but yes because i myself am a thirteen year old boy so i once said that to my mom and she was very sad so i said sorry if they apoligize it makes things much better

Answer 16

No, I'd say - I'll talk to you any time I want to talk to you - and if you have a working brain in your head you'll listen to every word I say - or I'd say, you don't want me talk to you anymore? That's fine with me (and I wouldn't for a long time).

Answer 17

Probably at the second my child said it, but I would remember that it is coming from anger/disappointment. Kids says those type of things when they don't know how to deal.

Answer 18

nah dont take it too seriously, when my almost 5 yr old gets really mad b/c he has to clean his room or go to bed he says im a mean mommy or i hate mommy. its just b/c i made him do somethin he didnt wanna do. dont worry bout it

Answer 19

no. because they are probably just in a bad mood. and if it is teenager then definatly no, because they are all like that

Answer 20

Ermmm  - no.

Obviously it depends how old they are, if there a toddler then they probably cant think of the way to articulate what you have done that upset them.

Teenager - could be anything in the world thats upset them (joke-honest) but my one of my fab butties usually brings them around.

xx

Answer 21

It depends.

If they're a teenager being dramatic, no.  If they're a grown mature adult I would probably be crushed.

this is funny because I'm visiting my mom right now and I just posed this question to her and she said that if I said that to her as a kid, I'd have been hurting more than her.

LMAO!

Answer 22

No my 4 year old says Im not her friend anymore all the time... they get over it

Answer 23

Not really. I would hope that my child would word it a bit differently, maybe say something like, "I don't want to talk right now," or, "I need some space," but I realize that sometimes people, and that includes kids, need some space and don't want to talk.

I know there have been times when I haven't wanted to talk, and i'm sure my kids will have moments like that too.
