i hate you...
...how come that it feels so horrid when your kids say this, and how do they learn to turn the knife at such an early age...little sods...
my 4 year old has started copying his 6 year old sister in saying it...and it is awful...i know i used to say it to my parents, but i'm sure i was much older...
or maybe this isn't the norm, and everyone else's kids love them all the time, lol...

Re: i hate you...
I just say...well, I hate you too so 
that sort of stuff doesn't really bother me, it's just copy cat behaviour, even from the eldest...and they do it with loads of stuff, they'll eat certain food without a problem until a friend says they hate it and hey presto, you have a problem...
my 7 year old had a stage where she said she hated Indian people, and I am sure she just heard someone else (nah, not me, lol) say it and copied it...
anyway...I think you are lurverly

Re: i hate you...
Our 5-year-old daughter said, "I don't like you very much" to the wife the other week after being told off. It was very deliberate and shocking to hear it. First time she's ever said anything like that.
I felt like giving her some advice: You might think it, just don't say it.

if he gets me on the wrong foot, I tell him "I help you pack your bags, and let him sit outside the door for a while.....yes, I have done that, he was there for about 30 minutes, pretty frantic. It did help for a while.

I usually say that's fine, does not really make a difference...you still have to...can't...etc.

Re: i hate you...
I once ''ran away'' when I was 8 years old, I packed my little red vanity case with my books and a tomato Ketchup sandwhich. I was gone for all of half an hour and when I got back I dont think my mam and Dad even noticed I had gone in the first place.
I tutor a local boy who is in Grade 2, he is obsessed with the word ''Fart'' He keeps saying it but I dont react, (which is what he is waiting for).
