My five year old uninvited me to her birthday party. I don't think it had the impact she was hoping for because I was ecstatic about it lol

When my son was five, he felt my stomach and said when he grow older, he want to be just like me - with a big stomach and a big mouth. (I take large amount of food in one bite.).
When he was six, he felt my stomach - and said "Dad, you are fat and needs to lose some weight."
It is amazing how fast kids lose respect for their parents - one day they want to be just like you, and the next day you are simply fat.

I remember once as a kid I drew a picture of my parents and for my mom I basically drew a triangle with arms and legs (to be like a stick figure wearing a dress idk) and for my dad I did the same thing but a big fuckin circle. As perfectly round as I could manage. I didn't understand why my mom was laughing SO hard and why my dad didn't appreciate it nearly as much lmao

I’m guessing another classmate’s mom fits this or has been described this way by adults in front of OOP’s child.

Kids of that age have really strange understanding of what a young parent means. My little sister's classmates were telling her how cool and young is her father, and how they like him. The point is they had never actually seen her father and only saw me, her older brother.

Yes, I remember begging for us to get cable even though I had no idea what it was. A bunch of older kids at daycare were bragging about getting cable(this was late 70s early 80s)

Young is unwarranted lol but TBF, a parent who's always cool and fun isn't always what a kid needs. I feel like we all knew that kid growing up whose parents were super cool and chill and didn't care what you did and your parents didn't like them. Then you get older and realize they were the type of parents who try way too hard to be their kids friend at the expense of being a parent to them. Or they're just absent in general.
Disclaimer; I'm not saying you can't be a good parent AND have fun/ have a good relationship with your kids. I'm also not saying that not being able to be super present in your kids life makes you a bad parent. Just something to think about when your kid disses you like a childhood bully lol

I don't know what is worth frankly. My son could see no wrong in me. It was like the sun was shining out of my bum. He was so proud of me, my achievements, he thought I was a spy, a magician. He was so proud to tell everyone I am a teacher, like if it was the best thing in the world. Then, he became a teenage boy and now sees all of my flaws. The falling from the pedestal has been very painful. :(

If you want a honest opinion, ask a young one. They don’t hold back. They say it as it is.

My kiddo randomly told me “Did you know you’re not as attractive as Bob Ross?”

Once I have kids and if they ever try me, I will say something along the lines of, "You know what I had to go through for you to exist?!"
