Hello and I'm Gwenelayland this podcast is dedicated to all the parents who have ever been embarrassed

by the most unhinged stuff falling out of their kids' face.

And to all the people who've had to live through a I hate you period from their own child.

Today we are discussing when kids say mean shit.

Let's start the timer.

You know it's funny I never haven't gotten and I hate you from my kids

but I have this distinct it's like my own core memory of the most heartbroken I ever felt from a child.

This was years ago.

My middleist was probably like four five years old and she was mad at bedtime.

You know she hates that and I said you just have to go to bed and she went

I don't love you right now which is it's the

same thing as saying I hate you yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I was like, I know she doesn't mean it, but my heart hurts.

I have not had an I hate you stage.

I did have a brief leave me alone stage but the way it was said stabbed a little

more deeply than I thought yeah I don't know if that makes sense but the way she said leave me alone it was like oh okay I'm sorry

no wait I'm the parent no I can't leave you alone for this like it's I also did not experience and I hate you

stage but that's mainly because I I was scared to say that to my mom my mom was pretty authoritarian. I was pretty authoritarian.

I went through and I hate you stage,

but I meant it.

I don't know that I said the words out loud,

but I felt it okay.

Okay so there however their kids will absolutely say mean shit and not mean to be mean at all.
