| Mums, getting 'sexy' compliments from kids? Embaresed?
Posted: 4/19/2008 5:01:16 AM | Just asking this question. I am a mum of two grown kids, one of each and i have had over the years, from both of them, 'Mum you look hot', 'you look great in that', etc. Though was i suppose embaressing at first, now i think it is nice to hear. If lads can compliment their mums easily, then they should be able to be the same with g/f's and daughters giving compliments helps me decide what is good enough to wear and not.
Last night, i was goig out with my work mate and we had both glmammed up a bit. My friends saw her and was gob smacked and stuttered a comment about her legs and lookign very fit. She laughed but embaressingly. In the taxi later she said she founf it hard that he said how good she looked.
In my eyes, i think it is good that you can be complimented, even if it is menat in a slightly sexul way.
What do other mums think?
Eveer had the same?
Guys did you ever compliment or do you compliment your mum on how she looks?

Posted: 4/19/2008 7:11:09 AM | Okay, my kids have been complementing me since I can remember..
Now that they are young adults, my kids says "looking hot Mom" all the time. My 15 year old son is less likely to comment on my appearance than the girls.
Just depends on the kid and his age.. Just cause he's your son doesn't make less male and he obviously notices such things. I don't think theere is anything wrong with it. Now if he asks your mate out on a date.. well then,that's a whole nother kettle of fish so to speak.
Now, if he was 5 and saying compliments about being sexy, I'd be concerned as to where he learned what sexy was. | |

Posted: 4/19/2008 7:15:35 AM | | When I initially started reading this post, I thought you were talking about getting compliments from kids that were not your own. There is a neighbourhood teen that has a little crush on me and everytime I see him my face turns red. He probably thinks that I have a crush him. My son is only 5, but when he was three, he did tell me "Mommy, you have nice boobies". I was more perturbed by the fact of how does a three year old gauge boobies? When he becomes a teenager/young man, I would be comfortable with him saying I look nice in an outfit. I do not think I would be comfortable with him describing me as "hot" as that has more of a sexual orientation than the word nice. | |

Posted: 4/19/2008 9:00:14 AM | Hmmm well my eldest is only 7 and she compliments me and melts my heart.
Last weekend she saw me getting dressed up for a night out and when she saw me come downstaires she gasped 'mum, you look beautiful, all the boys will want to dance with you'
awww bless
And my 4yr old nephew calls me sexy auntie Julie lol
But my neighbours son a few weeks back saw me going out and called me a 'milf'
(mum I'd like to f***)

Never know whether to take that saying as a compliment or not! Its a bit dirty really. | |

Personally, I think the term "milf" is negative. It is essentially saying that once you become a mother you are no longer doable. The funny thing is that the male equivalent would be "filf". | |

Posted: 4/19/2008 11:33:44 AM | It is not what is said but how it is said. My children too have always complimented me and my boys will now tell me I am hot, my daughter more the mom you look great type of thing. I know that when the boys say that, that they mean I look good and they are also saying if they were a guy the right age they would mean it, which is not disrespectful and makes my aging self feel good.
My best friend has kids the same ages as mine. Both families feel that we have three sets of twins. With the exception of the older two, the two sets of younger boys are inseparable, any combination of the four, so the 13-year-old is at my house nearly as much as at his. The day he told me I had the Mona Lisa of asses I just laughed because it was so typical of him, over the top and trying to see if he can get a rise out of you. On one level I know he meant it but on the other hand, when another boy made a comment he said shut up that's my aunt, so there is nothing disrespectful or inappropriate about the remark.
I think someone that is a little freaked by these comments just doesn't hang out with kids that much, or enough for kids to feel that they can be themselves around the grown-ups. My kids and their friends know that I am a parent first but they feel free to cut up around me, which is why I take such a comment in the spirit it was given and otherwise don't think about it too much. | |

Posted: 4/20/2008 4:56:56 AM | | Personally I find it flattering if my son says I look nice in something. He is a little young to use the term 'hot' but then again, there is an assumption that a child actually knows what that means - they may not. They may have heard the term and think it just means 'nice'. I don't have a problem taking a compliment, no matter who it is from. If my friends were uncomfortable with my son saying I look great, I would wonder what is wrong with them, not my child. And I have to say my son is also great at at telling me when I look terrible. It's all swings and roundabouts :-). | |

Posted: 4/20/2008 5:06:11 AM | I'm not a guy, I'm a mom. I've lost 50 lbs in the last four years. The last ten came off this year and I started doing weights, so I've got muscles. My kids compliment me all the time and my daughter for a while had a hard go of it. She doesn't do any exercise and now we are darned near the same size. She was kind of freaked. But she is also the one most likely to compliment me and it feels good to know she is ok with it.
What really freaks me out is when my daughter's male friends make comments. Thankfully I don't get many of them personally but they often talk to her and share it with me and I find it a little creepy.
I think if it is your own kids though, that often they are very proud of what their mom looks like and that is where the comments come from. For my boys anyway. | |

Posted: 4/23/2008 11:01:08 AM | some differring comments and thoughts
i think it is ok for kids to say how their parent looks myself. As for the word sexy, think it is a sign of the times, i remeber my cousin saying to my mum that she looked glam, now this was back in the late 60's he was given a right staring at.
My son says he is proud of how i look and m daughter thinks i am a cool looking mum. My friend has now got over the shock of her son sayign she was hot, though we were both dressed up abit and think he was bit shocked to see her with legs and cleavage
think us mature mums should celebrate the fact we have kids that feel ok to compliment us.
Any more adds to this? | |
