My son is 4. Is it normal for him to say he wants to marry mommy when he grows up?
I mean he's asked to marry his brother and his pre-school teacher before too. But I heard a desire to marry your mom means you'll be a psycho killer.

it means youve been cuck'd by a toddler
congratulations

Yeah that's fairly normal. Kids don't really understand what marriage is and have no inkling of the idea of romantic love.
He basically just means he loves his mommy. It's fine.
If he says that when he's 15 however that's a problem :)

its normal for any kid to say they want to marry the parent of the opposite sex. i did the same thing when i was a kid.
but i ended up shooting my mother, so take that with a grain of salt.
At this point in his life she is the most loving, beautiful, caring woman he knows, and he loves her- and he's gathered that when you love someone you marry them. He doesn't yet understand there are different kinds of love, and he's not being inappropriate at all. Every boy, at some point usually between 3 and 7, wants to marry his mother. Then he reaches puberty- and in the unlikely event that he remembers wanting to marry her, he'll be grossed out and ashamed. All totally normal

Love to him is marriage. He can't quite equate the difference. He has no concept of sex.
Fairly so, yeah. Kids don't get/know that there is a difference between the love you have for your wife and the love they have for their mom.

not according to freud.
as he says at 4 years old you wanted to kill your father and marry your mother.

Is it normal for your 4 year old to say weird shit they don't understand?
Yes. Yes it is. I don't know if you're familiar with children but their brains don't work so good.
Yeah, it was a while before I learned pre-marital sex was a thing, too.
I wouldn't worry too much about it.
It used to happen earlier in life, best I can remember. Compared with pre-industrial times, children are physically developing faster due to year-round broad nutrition, while they are mentally developing slower due to living sheltered and caged lives. I shudder to think of what the 22nd century holds.

Freud was a great innovator, but he's not a book of solutions - he was part of the bridge between ancient times and modern times.
There's no need to put a name on it. A 4-year-old's concept of love is different from a 24-year-old's concept of love. Anyone who puts a name on it is probably a drug dealer.
