I'll see the funny side eventually - Real Mum story on MoM

Tonight Master Six looked at me, a big smile spreading across his face.

“Mummy!” He said, patting my stomach. “I see that your tummy is getting all round and fat. You must be growing another baby!”

No, I’m not. And I said so. He smiled at me cheerfully.

“I guess you’re just getting fat with lots of food, Mummy.”

This is the child who gave me chocolates for my birthday!

Lol. I had the same sort of thing happen a few years ago, when it was putting on weight. My son whispered to my friend “Mummy’s getting bigger isn’t she?”

kids…have to love them lol don’t take it to heart. I have lost alot of weight and My Son and My daughter older ones hate it as my Son said I never had a skinny Mum and I don’t like having a skinny Mum. As even thou my Son is 27 we still wrestle now he is really worried about breaking me and is always telling my Grandson and so does my Daughter don’t break Nanny when we wrestle. My Son was very blunt when he was little he would have a friend over or when I met one of his friends Mum’s or went to school to see the teacher and say this is my Mum and she is just fat. My weight loss has actually worried my kids. So just know they will love you very much no matter what they say and deep down don’t want you to change
