As we’ve both been struck down with a stomach bug for a few days which is possibly the result of consuming too many Easter eggs has come completely out of the blue, I’ve made no effort to come up with a unique idea for a blog post. Instead I’ve stolen the idea for this post from NotSupermum who recently wrote about the things she has said to her daughters this week.
In my defence, Your Honor, I did write a post previously along the same lines, although it was probably stolen from someone else too.
As listing the things I’ve said to my daughter this week would result in a repetitive list involving such statements as no you can’t have chocolate for breakfast, I’m listing the things my daughter has said to me this week instead.
- You’re not my mother
- I don’t want you be scared mummy but I think I can see some teenagers
- Who is Kate Middleton?
- Is Santa watching?
- I think you should have two husbands
- I’d rather go and play at Granny and Grandpa’s house
- Can I borrow your bank account details?
- I am the boss
- I don't think I should be watching Britney Spears
- I’ve written my Christmas list
It’s clearly a mother-daughter relationship based on mutual love and respect, not one where one seven-year-old girl thinks she knows best and is under the impression she is in charge.

Great post, I can still remember my daughter saying similar things when she was seven. I think my post entitled 'things my daughter said this week' would be a little different tho now she's 11 going on 16! (Hope ur feeling betta soon x) :)

The teenagers one really made me laugh. I loved the 'bank account details' one too. Eek, she's seven? Impressive!

She also wants to know my pin number, which is a little worrying! She made the teenager comment as we went into our local park. Made me laugh too!!

Thank you. I dread to think what my daughter will be saying when she's 11. She'll probably be asking to borrow the car, or something!

Ha ha! so funny!Am pondering whether 2 husbands would be a good thing or a bad thing...

I think 2 of me might be more than anyone could cope with...

I laughed at all of those! Love the request for your bank account details. And don't worry about nicking my idea, I know for a fact I copied one of your posts almost word for word not so long ago... *whistles innocently*

This is so funny, I am going to copy too I think. I get the boss thing from the boys

S'okay, because I copied Erica's post! It happened completely by accident *whistles innocently too*

Brilliant. Your (only) husband has replied to your comment before I got a chance to!!
Posted by: Rosie Scribble | April 28, 2011 at 09:50 PM
Careful Jen. They may look sweet and innocent now but before you know it they'll be after your bank details!

All sounds very familar, the scary thing for me is that it is one of my 3 year olds saying it to me!! Mich x

Love this - though slightly scary too!
