Only once did any of my children tell me they hated me. I was shocked and upset but realized, at That paticular time and with their limited vocabulary and comprehension skills, they probably did. I was not going to punish them for something they felt and voiced to me. I wanted my kids to be able to tell me anything. So I told him I was sorry he felt that way because I loved him very much and only wanted what was best for him because I loved him so much. I lowered my voice and said it softly, and he started crying when I was finished and never said it again.Don't take it personally!.
