What would you do if your kids called you by your name? Or if they hate you?

I was again on my way to work, and I have to leave them again for a while. Sometimes I tell my kids that I have to do this, and they just have to be good little kids while mama is at work. My eldest boy who's 5 right now, just don't seem to understand yet. I might have not given them enough "quality time", on which I feel guilty of.As I stepped out of the door he just yelled at me and told me "don't come back anymore, em" ... tears fell down my eyes when I heard this from my young boy. I just didnt know how to explain this to him again.

I havnt has this problem yet and i hope i dont have that problem or end up in that situation. However my oldest son He'll say "I hate that" when he dont get his way on something and hasnt and dont uderstand when i say no then thats what i mean. And trying to explain it to him as a 2 yr old it dont work so i figured well i'll keep trying and he'll get it sooner or later i dont rush it because he's only 2 years old.

well I hope you could still work it out. When my boy was 2, he was the sweetest. I always tell him I love him so much and that I want him to grow up as a good boy. He would just then tell me how much he loves me too.

My 5 year old son has told me he hates me, told me that this is "his" house and that he wants me to get out. I am a stay at home mom and either way, he still hates me. My kids have never called me by name. If they did I would correct them and tell them that they need to call me mom.
