Today, my 6 year-old daughter asked, "What would happen to me if you and daddy died?" I told her that she'd probably live with her Uncle Ant and Aunt Ilene. She looked at me and said, "You guys can die. I won't cry. I get everything I want over there." FML

Today, I'm beginning to regret explaining death to my 3-year-old son. We were at the supermarket when he looked at an elderly woman and loudly told her "You're gonna die soon!" FML

Today, my son was crying because he wanted his daddy, and he asked when he can see him. I had no idea what to say, given his dad left us in the middle of the night last year, now lives in another country, and told me he never wants to see us again. FML

Obviously you're doing something wrong. A child that young should be crying his little ass off even thinking about his mum dying.

Your kid is sadistic, but at least he's honest.

in psychology, this is somewhat referred to to Oedipus Complex, although the son would want the father dead, not the mother

Classical theory holds that "resolution" of the Oedipus complex takes place through identification with the parent of the same sex and (partial) temporary renunciation of the parent of the opposite sex; the opposite-sex parent is then "rediscovered" as the growing person's adult sexual object.

All children say that crap. Don't worry about it, he just doesn't understand that you'll be gone forever if you die. I probably have said it when I was little too.

Awee that's so sad. I'd be heart broken. But it also makes me question if your a crappy mom.

Its possible that you were the last parent to dish out punishment and he resents you (briefly) for it. He will be loving again before you know it, but children sure know how to hurt their parents >.
