Oh I agree with everyone so far. It really isn't something to worry about or think your child doesn't love you. Believe me all of my children when they were little told me they wish I wasn't their mom at one time or another because I wouldn't let them do something.

They would tell me that they wished I'd have given them up for adoption like I did their sister. That hurt because I missed my daughter so much and hadn't wanted to give her up. My children always knew about their sister and saw me crying many times about her being gone. So, they used that on me to make me feel bad when they didn't get their way. I learned not to show that it got to me and after awhile, they stopped because they didn't get a reaction anymore.

Kids will use that to get to you but if you don't let it they won't use it too often. If a child knows how to push your buttons (bio or adopted child) they will when they aren't getting their way. It's just human nature.

I'm sure being a parent of an adopted child is more hurtful to hear it because of the adoption and maybe some insecurities but as long as you love your child and always let them know they are important that's the important thing.
