Today, I was saying goodbye to my 5 year-old son before dropping him at my mom's, as I was leaving for two days, and told him I would miss him. He said, "l won't miss you, I never miss you when you are gone." FML

Today, my son was crying because he wanted his daddy, and he asked when he can see him. I had no idea what to say, given his dad left us in the middle of the night last year, now lives in another country, and told me he never wants to see us again. FML
Today, at midnight, I heard my son calling for his mom. I stopped by his room and asked him what was wrong? He didn't tell me. Instead, he said: "Oh, I don't need you." FML
Today, I saw my son. I didn't know I had a son. FML
Today, I went to see my mother with my kids. Before, I had told my son to give her hugs and kisses and I would buy him candy. He did, but then he told her that I said that. FML
Today, at my mother's funeral, as everyone was around her casket for the viewing, my 5-year-old son in cluelessness of what was going on shouted, "Grandma is more fun when she isn't sleeping." Everyone cried. FML
Today, I told my mom, "I love you". She responded with, "What? I never told you I loved you." FML
Today, I met my boyfriend’s 6 year-old son. The first thing he said to me was, "You’re not going to leave us for another man like mommy did, right?" FML
Today, I have been teaching my 5 year-old step-daughter how to read and write. She came bounding up to me with a piece of paper and said, "look what I did". It was a letter that said "My dad misses my real mommy, not you". FML
Today, I listened to a voicemail from my mom about how she misses me and can't wait to see me when I get back from vacation. Thinking she hung up, my mother then had a conversation with my aunt about how quiet the house is without me and how she'd be blessed if I didn't come home. FML
Today, when I dropped my 6-year-old daughter off at school, a little boy ran up to her so I asked his name. My daughter explained: "Oh, don't pay any attention to him, he's my slave. He's come to carry my bag. See you later, mom!" FML

A) he's a kid. Relax. B) It's actually probably a good thing. This way you won't have to ever break him of a homesickness issue when he's older. C) if he's REALLY intelligent, he might be trying to help YOU to worry less about how he's feeling. D) ignore the idiots who reply like he's a bad kid. They have no idea what they're talking about.

He's a kid. A 5 year old. The big deal is?

Thanks for actually having sense. He's far too young to understand the repercussions of his words. In all likelyhood he's mad that his parent is leaving him.

you are not a good father. your son hates you. why? i think you should take your time to figure it out. otherwise you won't get along very well.

ok, from my experience, i never miss my mom or sister, the kid probably just isnt old enough to have that feeling, i never did, and i still dont, i think its cause he knows he will see you again and that totally nullifies any feelings of missing the parent. so dont sweat it, he still loves you, he still needs you, its just a five year old saying the truth about his feelings

This is almost like the kid on youtube who told his mom he only likes her when she gives him cookies

Grandma probably spoils him when you are gone.

Not a FML. Kids at that age think about what's right around them; if grandma would mention mom or if she called on the phone, the kid would likely miss her then (so best avoid that if you don't want to make grandma's job difficult). It's the way kids are, please don't expect them to be the way your vanity wants them to be. And thumbs up for raising a kid who's not afraid to speak his honest mind.
