But My MOM Says...

[daycarediva]

My MOM does/does NOT...

My MOM says you're wrong...

My MOM thinks...

I don't give a flying patoot what your mom says/does/thinks.

Learning about eggs- what animals come from eggs. My MOM SAYS YOU'RE WRONG AND DOLPHINS DO COME FROM EGGS. ( :: )

My MOM says I DO NOT have to share my share toy.

My MOM does NOT do that (insert everything here).

I'm just rinsing and repeating that we do things differently here. But MAN I'm ready to pull my hair out.

How old is she/he?

I would not allow that phrase anymore. period.

Treat it like a negative behavior.

Anytime the child begins "My mom says......" immediately stop them and redirect.

I totally understand..I had one of those kids too. :hug:

You're mom is silly. Go play toys.

If that doesn't work go to:

You're mom says you need to go night night.
Then

You're mom night night.
Then

Night night

It's just a term of engagement. He's getting you to DO him. Answer gently first. If that doesn't work change it to something he doesn't want to do. Have your response lessen in words as you wean him off your attention.

It is really grating! My dcb said "Your mom is not so smart." when she made the dolphin comment. ::

Mom also knows the wording to our songs and fingerplays better. She knows how to cut grapes better. She knows EVERYTHING.

It's awful to say (and take it with a grain of salt because I'm frustrated and it is NEVER ENDING), but Mom is a SAHM. If she was so wonderful, the kid wouldn't be here full time.

Take heart in the fact that it will also go the other way for you. I've had numerous parents tell me they can't do anything "right" according to their child bc it's not the way I do it.
I think it's just an attention getter and usually just try to ignore it.

That is so true! A dcm told me that a few weeks after her ds started kindergarten, his teacher said he constantly said those things about me! "Ms D doesn't do it that way....Ms D says such & such" etc. I'm sure his teacher hated me!

I really want to contribute something helpful here, but all my brain will come up with are Yo Mama jokes.

[daycare]

I have one of those and I said, oh really well lets call mom and see what she has to say to ME about that!!

child changed her mind really quick...
