What is the craziest thing that you ever heard a parent say to their child?

Question

My daughter, her BF and I went out to eat the other afternoon. While we were sitting there eating, a family walked in. The little girl went right to the booster seats and was going to get one. The mom said to her, ''you are a big girl now, you don't need a booster seat''. From where we were sitting, all we could see was the top of little girls head. Well they came around the little wall and the little girl had a pacifier in her mouth. It was all we could do to keep from laughing. After we got outside, (shame on us) we mocked the mother, ''you are a big girl now....''.

So what is the craziest thing that you ever heard a parent tell their child?

Answer 4

About 20 years ago. while taking my kids to the zoo, a lady stopped us and asked if I would take a picture of her and her family with her camera. I said sure. She then turned to one of the kids and told him to stand a little away by the wall. Confused, I asked her if he was in the picture. She said no, he is my foster son. Well, I took her picture, then took out my camera and ask if she would reciprocate. I went over and introduced myself and children to "John" and asked if we could have our picture taken with him, our new found friend !  He was about 12, and just beamed !  I still have that picture, and wonder what ever happened to John.

Answer 6

The most common one I got so tired of hearing from so many parents from all walks of life to their own kids, including me and my own was "stop sitting around on your ***!"

I can't believe it took me nearly 52 years to realize that was actually the best place to sit because sitting on your head could be alot more dangerous and I was always afraid to sit on someone else's in case I might fall off.

Answer 10

Funny you asked that today, I heard the funniest thing.  We were at the zoo and there was a lady with one of those kid leashes on her kid.  I heard her say "Noah, come here so I can take off your leash".  My husband glared at me because he knew by the look on my face what I was thinking and I embarrass him sometimes with the "looks" I give people.  I about lost it, and I wished someone else besides me would have heard it who would have appreciated it as much as I did.  And, not to mention, I HATE the name Noah, it just really irritates me, it totally sounds like a Leash Kid kind of name.  Poor,, Poor Noah, I hope he has a middle name he can go by......

Answer 16

To a 5-year-old who forgot to feed the cat:  "If you don't feed the cat, I'm just going to hit her over the head with a shovel and then it won't be a problem anymore."

It's making me tear up right now even remembering this.  I sat in my bedroom closet counting money in my bank to see if I had enough to run away with my kitty - but I didn't have a carrier, and I didn't know anywhere I could go.  And I tried to think about ways to scare my kitty away so she wouldn't come back and be in danger (and I cried and cried when I thought about that because I loved my kitty so much and didn't want her to go).  Of course, my mom never would have killed a pet -- she was trying to get my attention in a dramatic fashion -- but how was a 5-year-old to know that?  I love my mom, but she said some f****ed up things when I was a kid.

Answer 17

Wiping my child may cause pshycological problems.

Answer 18

A parent showed up at my classroom at the end of the school day.  She ambushed her child and made him sit back down in his seat.  She then proceeded to read him the riot act about not doing his homework for my class.  Then she said, "You're going to sit right here and do your homework in front of your teacher.  I'm going grocery shopping and will pick you up in an hour."  She was on her way out the door, and I had to follow her and tell her that I had not planned on staying an extra hour after school and that she would need to monitor his homework at home.  Of course, she was totally oblivious and accused me of not doing my job.
