She's only six and doesn't really understand death. I have a six year old sister and my dad's been really sick with cancer. She didn't understand or could grasp the concept of him even being this sick, let alone death. You're her parent and her number 1 influence in the world. She loves you. As much as hearing that might hurt, try not to take to personally.

Don't feel bad. I know, that's hard to just "do" but really, six year olds live in the immediate present. She probably gets spoiled when she visits her aunt's and uncle's house (most kids do at relatives') and so has come to associate them with gifts, attention, sweets, etc. Whereas at your house, she is actually being "parented" which involves the occasional punishment and delayed gratification. So don't worry. Her reaction is normal, and so is yours. She loves you.

t least now you know that if your dying she wont be sad....

Don't be such an ass to your children.

kids can say the meanest things. its scary.

# 110, lol you don't have to worry about that. I know that I'd be a bad mother, which is why I choose not to have them, every experience I've had with kids is always awful... I'm not the parent type. I'm sorry if I believe that kids deserve beatings when they do, because well that's what happened to me. My dad was ill and didn't know any better, when I'd see the school therapist she'd ask me if my parents hit me. There's a reason I wear long sleeves and pants... because if I spilled the beans and let the authorities know my father would kill me. I'd much rather suffer beatings than be killed. You see, I deserved the beatings. There's nothing wrong with me. I'm glad you enjoyed my comment. >:D And Oh I don't deserve kids? Its so easy to pass judgement on me you sicko. I think everyone that has a right to children if they so want it. I was only saying that they need to be responsible about kids, at least I don't go around saying "you don't deserve kids" to you and every **** up known to man. Oh wait scratch that you don't deserve to have kids haha. You are a terrible human being and should not involve yourself with people's life choices you ass. GTFO #110 OP, sorry none of that nonsense was directed to you or your FML. I didn't mean to waste precious space but stupid little twits have to involve themselves into other people's business. I hope that your daughter realizes what a terrible thing she said to you and apologizes to you because you are a terrific mom for not spoiling your child. She'll one day understand when she's a little older.

LOL! wow this made my day :-D

Don't take it personally. I did something similar to my mom when I was about your daughter's age. Trust me--she will be devastated if either of you die.

I agree with 126. I used to want to live with my aunt and uncle at that age, because spending time at their place was more fun and exciting. She's just too young to realize that her aunt and uncle would disciple her more if you weren't around and how much she'd miss you if you died. She'll outgrow this stage and recognize how much she needs you when she's older.

#45 and 64 - while no the mother isnt useless in she carried the fetus in the uterus and did deliver the child into the world - ever hear of andrea yates? some mothers arent good mothers. so really - #26 might be telling the truth - her mother might not have been carol brady. op. your child has fully developed her pysche so shes still mainly in what freud would call the id - meaning - she doesnt have a full concept of right and wrong or a perspective from other people's viewpoints - so she doesnt realize how much her words can hurt - or the differences between visiting someone and living with someone - instead her main concerns are of her own pleasure - such as getting to play and eat candy she also isnt old enough to think very far into the future to fully understand death. still - whether she realizes it or not - thats harsh.
