Answer 2

Oh yes! Not only when they were young, but also as adults. Just because they're your children doesn't mean they aren't human beings. Like everyone else on this earth they have the same capacity to hurt feelings, only deeper because you love them so very much.

The challenge as a parent is to accept that they usually don't even realize they do it to us. As they get older, sometimes they mean to hurt us...usually they've hit the teen age years when this happens and they're angry, they want to lash out. Then as adults, they still manage to hurt our feelings, though they usually try not to.

It's our job to be the mature ones who understand where they're coming from when they say and do the things that hurt. We have to decide if they meant to hurt us and to choose whether we'll react emotionally or rise above the emotion and tell ourselves the truth...that they love us and there's something else going on that is driving the behavior.

Welcome to the wonderful world of parenthood. It's full of conflicting emotions like sorrow and joy, pain and happiness...and it's worth every moment.

Hi 3030gal,
The nice things about kids is they'll always "say what's on their mind". It's when their parents begin to tell them "don't say this, don't say that" that they finally begin checking their tongue. They will never go around in circles just to get their points across. If we adults can just have a fraction of their open honesty, there might be more agruements, but believe me,lesser hatred & back-stabbing. Yes, my kids said a lot of comment that hits home. Some examples are "Dad, you smell bad", "Dad, you dressed so awful". "Dad, your breath stinks". Of course, it stung, but where can I get that kind of open-yet-innocently-expressed truth but from them? We adults can never say that to another adult straight up. So what do we do? We simply smile at them then make unfavorable comments fom behind. Isn't that even worse?

Well I'm only 16, so I don't have any kids yet, but I have said things to my mom that were kind of mean and I regretted saying them. If your kids said something that hurt your feelings, I wouldn't worry about it! I'm sure they love you and everyone says things they don't really mean and makes mistakes. I hope this helps and I hope everything works out 4 you! =)

Answer 5

I don't have kids but I did hurt my mom's feelings once. I didn't mean to really, but I wrote a poem about being so stressed otu and being tired, about the way her and my teachers, and dad, even my friends were putting all their dreams and stuff on me and wasn't allowing me to make my own decisions. Clearly she took it all the wrong way and when I tried to explain to her about how I was feeling she just got over dramatic aobut how everyone always attacks and hurts her. But hell she has always done the same thing to me, and she just can't see that. I still apologized though, and just don't let her see my poetry anymore.

Answer 6

My old teaher told me that her daughter said something like, "Ohh Miss Kiz is the coolest mom in the world! I really wish that Miss Kis was my mom!" And I thhink that that hurt her feelings. I`ve never said anything like this to my parents, but I dont think that it her her feeling thaat much since her daughter is onle 7 and doesnt know any better x]
But hah! its not only the kids hurting there parents feelings... My dad once told me that he hated me, its a pretty simple thing to say for him since hes so mean, but it still really hurt my feelings =[

Answer 7

I don't have kids but I say things that hurt my parents all the time. I don't mean to hurt them it's just I get really mad and say whatever stupid thing comes to mind, then I feel bad.

Answer 8

Yes and you have to be assertive if the comment was exceptionally offensive. On the other hand, kids are sometimes unaware that they've offended someone. As an adult, you have to pick and choose your battles when it concerns children.

Answer 9

Yes!

You just got to remember, they're just kids and don't realize whats coming out of there mouth. It's all just emotions they don't know how to control.
