Kathryn Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 My 3yo just said this to me. Sometimes, he says things that freak me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 All I can think of is the Solomon story. Has he heard it? Is it in SOTW? (Can't remember) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathryn Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 When I asked him why he said that, he said "I don't want to be a bad guy." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Are there any other concerning behaviors? thoughts, etc? Likely it is just a 3 year old thing. I ask though as my daughter had hallucinations, etc. when she was a preschooler and was talking about cutting up people, etc. (and she NEVER watched any TV, movies, etc. that were violent) but yet she hated those thoughts----hard to explain. Ended up she had some mental health issues going on that needed addressing. Again, most likely just a 3 year old but if there are other concerning behaviors, then I would seek some professional help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettyandbob Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 All I can think of is the Solomon story. Has he heard it? Is it in SOTW? (Can't remember) This was my first thought too. Even if it wasn't this week. Sometimes my dc would come up with stuff they heard from months before and I'd have figure out the context.

LeslieAnneLevine Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Kids say weird stuff sometimes. I wouldn't worry because he says he would never want to do that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 It sounds like he's saying "I never want to hurt you. I always want to keep you forever." Which is a very sweet thing to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahrazad Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I agree with the others. Its sweet. Either that or he is a baby Dexter. I kid, I kid. My son says some weird things too. A relative's son once said he wanted to chop someone's baby up into little bits. Turns out he was confused and meant 'You're so cute, I want to eat you up'...;).

Kathryn Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 I'm not worried. It's just funny the way he phrases things sometimes. I agree that he was probably telling me that he doesn't ever want to hurt me. Yesterday he asked me if he would always be bigger than the baby (that I miscarried last week) and when I said yes, he told me that when he gets to heaven, he's going to take care of the baby since he'll always be the big brother.

albeto Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 When my son was about that age, he promised me when he got older he would make a DNA Replicator. Then he would replicate me 19 times. Each me would have a job to do (dishes, laundry, change diapers, etc), and the real me could take a nap. I'm still waiting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you happen to have a c section with the new baby? My 2.5yo was fascinated by the fact that my belly had to be cut for baby to come out. To him that was like me being cut in half - cut in the middle - and I know he understood it hurt me (recovery time considered). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um_2_4 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 My son keeps promising to build me robots to do all the work so I can spend more snuggle time with him. I'm still waiting lol, but it's the thought that counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 It sounds to me like he had heard that story about Solomon or it was on his mind. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderchica Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I think it's sweet he wants to keep you in peace. When my brother was in kindergarten he told the bus driver he was going to cut his head off. He's 32 now and still hasn't done it, so there's hope ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 He sounds so sweet. If he was 12, then I would say call 911! But since he is 3, I think he is just lovin' on his mama. My 7 year old dd says she wishes that she was a man so she could marry me. Also, she wants to die the same day as me so we can always be together. There's a lot of love in all of that. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 A pregnant friend of mine woke up to her 4 yr old standing over her with a knife. He was going to help the baby out. Now that's scary. I'd say you're good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

violamama Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 My now 5 yo used to say, "I'm going to cut off your head and freeze it into jail". For a kid who was afraid of certain Veggie Tales (for Pete's sake), this was extremely shocking. He said it for about a year, off and on, and then laughed like crazy. I miss that now that he's all of 5 yo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
