Kids have a unique way of expressing their feelings, often leading to memorable moments that parents cherish. One such instance recently took the internet by storm when a mom shared a note from her 9-year-old daughter, Lucy, following a disagreement about cleaning her room.
In a post on the popular parenting blog, a mother recounted an argument with her daughter regarding the state of her messy bedroom. During the heated exchange, Lucy dramatically declared she would prefer to be sold on eBay rather than tidy up her space and even expressed a desire to leave their family. In response, her mom jokingly remarked that no one would actually buy her on eBay.
After they reconciled, Lucy penned a heartwarming yet comically exaggerated note to her mom, filled with apologies and feelings of betrayal over her mother’s comments. “Dear Mom,” the note read. “I know I was mean and I’m truly sorry, but the fact that I’m ‘poorly’ and just wanted to rest has completely flown out the window. Your words about no one buying me really broke my heart. Now I see how ashamed you are of me. With all my love, Lucy.”
It’s a sentiment that resonates with many parents. Even with my little one being just four years old, she’s already threatened to run away and accused me of being the “meanest mom ever.” While it’s never pleasant to think of a child’s heart being “broken,” the humor in Lucy’s note is undeniable, especially when she’s upset about hypothetical eBay buyers. Lucy’s mom later confirmed that her heart is “now mended” and shared the note to highlight how kids know just how to make their parents feel guilty.
Since the post went viral, it has been shared thousands of times, prompting other parents to share their own amusing and dramatic notes from their kids. One parent shared a message from her ten-year-old: “Go away. I don’t love you anymore meanies (never want to see you again) ever again.” Another shared a note from their six-year-old asking, “Mummy and Daddy, can I please come down? I’m the saddest I could be.”
