I was singing my 1.5-year-old son a lullaby. He just popped his finger in my mouth and said “off.” Yep, that’s his way of saying, “Enough, Mom!”
Kids don’t get “pretty” or “skinny.” For them, it’s just facts. Like my toddler saying “cactus” while rubbing my leg. What does that even mean? Exactly!
I asked my son to say “mama.” He responded with “mooooo.” Five times. I gave up and laughed. That’s a stubborn cow right there.
My son loves to slap my belly saying, “Wow, it’s so soft and big.” Then he played doctor, checked my belly button, shook his head, and declared, “Uh oh. That’s not good.” Thanks for the medical advice, kiddo.
My 6-year-old told me my tummy was ugly and made her uncomfortable. Ouch. But after I explained it grew to carry her and her brothers, she changed her tune to calling me the most beautiful mommy. Kids have feelings... and sass.
My kid brought me lotion and said, “Here Mama… you are dry and crusty like a pretzel.” Brutally honest or just hungry?
My three-year-old told me my head looks like a potato. It might be an insult, but I think it’s a weird compliment because, well, potatoes are awesome.
My 2.5-year-old said, “Dada is handsome!” Then my husband teased, “And Momma is gorgeous!” She shot back, “No. Just Dada handsome.” Talk about brutal honesty!
Giving my goddaughter a bath, I pulled my hair back into a ponytail. She looked at me and said bluntly, “You look so ugly like that.” Oof.
The most brutal? My kid pointed to the moon at the start of the book "Hungry Caterpillar" and said “mama.” Yep, apparently I’m moon material.
My 19-month-old son touches my nose and says “Big.” Yup, it's big enough for a toddler to notice.
My 2.5-year-old waits for me to get ready and then declares, “You are looking bad.” A little hurt at first, now it’s our little game. Eventually, she says, “No no, you’re looking Pwetty.” We have to play along and call her a princess though.
I got my eyebrows tinted a bit darker. My nephew said they look burnt. When I said I went to the salon to look nice, he just said, “Ohh, but they didn’t.” Mic drop.
My daughter cries because she wants pimples just like Mommy. She gets super excited when I wake up with new ones. Sharing the love? Or secret happiness?
My 2-year-old has a Peppa Pig set. She brought me Dada Pig and said, “Looks like Mama!” Not sure if she thinks I have a beard or just a big belly. Welcome to the roast life!
My son lovingly rubbed my partner’s head and said “baldy.” I won’t say where he picked that up from... but ouch.
My 20-month-old just started two-word sentences and loves saying “mama dirty” or “baba dirty.” Sweet but savage.
My daughter guessed I was 100 years old. Well, at least I look wise (and ancient) in kid terms!
Once my oldest told me I looked like an ugly grandma. And guess what? I was 22! Kids don't hold back, but hey, they love you anyway.
I clapped at a restaurant for a birthday song, and my son shook his head and pushed my hands down. So embarrassed, and so cute!
My son smiled sweetly and told me, “Mom, you have a lot of hair up your nose.” Thanks, buddy, TMI!
My 2.5-year-old put on a Star Wars shirt, pointed to the Wookie, and said, “That’s Mama.” I guess I’m hairy and lovable!
My 4-year-old asked me to shave my legs because I hadn’t in two weeks. Three boys and lots of hair later, there's no time to keep up!
I asked my daughter what she wanted to do, and she said, “Should Mama get her eyebrows done?” Solidarity, kid.
I was self-conscious about my age spots, then my son said, “Mama, your skin looks like salami.” My other son said I looked like a turkey before it’s cooked. Kids keep it real.
My 4-year-old pretended I was my sister and patted my belly, asking, “When did you get fat?” No chill, kid.
My toddler tells everyone I’m fat. At the mall, she told another kid, “My Mommy can’t ride this because she’s too big.” Love is unconditional, right?
I work at a French preschool. A 3-year-old called me an elephant because of my voice and size, another said I’m a fat pig. Kids are savage and honest!
My 2.5-year-old patted my belly, then hers, laughed, and pulled up my shirt to do it again. Thanks for the honest comparison, kid.
My son saw an old pic of me and said, “No, that’s a girl.” Hold up, that’s me! Kid’s got jokes.
My wife’s nephew told me I’m like Thor from Endgame. When I said “Fat Thor?”, he giggled and walked away. Kids say the funniest things!
My daughter loves jumping on my belly screaming, “Big fat caterpillar!” At least she’s quoting a book, right?
At 3, my son told me to please go put on makeup. No sugarcoating here - he’s straight to the point.
My kid told me, “Next fun and fitness day, I’m bringing you because your legs are NOT fit.” Ouch, but motivation!
One week after I had my second baby, my 4-year-old asked if I had another baby inside me. Plot twist: Nope!
My son throws a tantrum when I sing but not for anyone else. Maybe my singing is just that bad.
At daycare, a kid once asked me, “Why are your arms the same size as your thighs?” Kids have zero filters and lots of questions!
My daughter asked why I have a bump under my chin. Oh, sweetie, that’s called a double chin. Thanks for noticing!
While brushing my son’s teeth, he went, “Mama, teeth yellow!” Okay, not THAT yellow, but thanks for the honesty.
My 3-year-old tells me I’m pretty but points out my big nose - the one thing I’m super insecure about. Thanks, kid.
My 4-year-old said, “Momma, your belly is so big and floppy. Mine’s flat and hard.” Well, that’s just rude and accurate!
My kid called me a whale but also told me I’m beautiful in the same week. Can’t decide if he’s confused or just being honest.
My daughter told me, “I like sleeping with Daddy better because you’re a worse cuddler, but I still love you.” Ouch and love at the same time!
My husband says, “You’re the pretty one, I’m the fat old one.” Brutal, but hey, I’m only three years younger!
I spent two hours straightening my hair. My 2-year-old says, “Oh no Mommy, I don’t like that.” Thanks, kid.
My daughter tells me I look “sooooo tired” whenever I skip makeup. Not sugarcoating anything!
My daughter points out my husband’s bald spot (time for a shave?) and told me my belly has “waves.” So poetic!
My 3-year-old asked her granny when the baby in her tummy would come out. That’s a direct question!
My neighbor’s 5-year-old asked if I’m the kid’s dad and why I have a mustache and beard. Time to hit the waxing salon!
When I got lost at 3, I told the lady on the loudspeaker, “My daddy is big and tall and fat and spotty.” Hey, it worked!
My son is sweet to me but roasts his dad mercilessly: “Dada don’t sing,” “Dada, why are your teeth like that?” Kids pick sides!
My 3-year-old told me not to use her bathroom because I’m stinky. Then she sniffed the toilet and said, “You made my bathroom stinky!” Hilarious and savage.
My little brother told me my eyes were too close together when I was 8. It’s stuck with me 23 years later. Kids are savage!
