she's only 6!

Oh dear! I apparently said I wanted to marry my brother at that age as I was used to living with him!

Dread to think what OP would have made of that!

girlsmum

you are pushing her away for telling you things in future, sending her to her room is like a punishment. are you stern with her, the fact that she did not want to show you in the first place is a worry.
My sister said she was going to marry one of our neighbours sons when she was about that age, i think its sweet and totally normal.

Exactly what the last post says i have a 6yr old girl who has been wanting to marry a boy called Matthew she goes to school with from shes been about 4.If i found a letter like that in my daughters school bag id be praising her for being so good at writing the note and her imagination and innocence not sending her to her room as if shes done something wrong.At this age they're best friends with somebody 1 day and the next day they never want to speak to them again!I'd be more worried if she wanted to marry someone when shes 16 never mind 6.

They use the term love and marriage to verbalise friendship at 6. My 6 year old daughter wrote a love letter to her girlfriend yesterday. It is what they do. I was more concerned by her spelling to be honest.

Today I saw my 6 year old daughter hide a note in her bag, I asked her to show me the note and she had an absolute fit! No mummy no, I can't help it, I don't want you to read it NOO NOOO!

I sat her down and read the note, it was a love letter to a 6 year old boy in her school saying she wanted to marry him and kiss him.
I asked her calmly if she has ever spoke to this boy and she promised no.

I have now sent her to her room and told her that it is wrong to be writing love letters.

Any advice for me as I feel like she is way to young for this and I want to nip it in the bud straight away.

Wow! Way to give her a complex!

It's a love letter. Not an invitation to an orgy! :rotfl:

WOW!

Way to bump a year old thread!

I think it's normal. I'm 50 and still remember falling madly in love in the first year of infants! I played kiss chase all day and badly wanted to marry a beautiful red haired boy with freckles call George! Please don't punish your daughter, it's normal.

Perfectly normal - I remember that when my sister was 6 she was adamant that she was going to marry a boy in her class. Seems it may have been because he lived in a much nicer house than we did but, as she wasn't a total gold digger, she said that his parents could have her old bedroom when they moved out so she and her 'husband' could have their house!

Lol - I remember my youngest wanting to 'marry my arm' at 6 because she 'never,ever wanted to let it go'. Mind you, at this stage, she also wanted to be a cookie when she grew up!!

She broke my heart though, a short time later, when I was volunteering at her school, and saw her hug the boy in front of her in the lunch line and plant a huge kiss on the back of his neck!!:rotfl::rotfl:

Obviously that was slightly inappropriate, but no reason to make a big deal!
