Mommy issues

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, as I was picking up my 7 year-old daughter at my ex-husband's house, my daughter started crying saying that she wanted to stay with Daddy forever. I asked why. She said her stepmom was a better mommy. Apparently, the woman who broke up my marriage is now a better "Mommy." FML

Sometimes kids play off on parent against the other to get stuff. You know, step mummy's better because she lets me eat fast food, watch tv late... or something to try and get you to do the same. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I have a stepmom and a stepdad. When my parents got remarried I was like, "MORE ICE CREEAAAAMMM" but seriously, kids will say something so you do the same.

The stepmom is probably spoiling your daughter so she'll favor her.

At her age, the better "mommy" probably lets her eat candy for breakfast and stay up past her bedtime. Don't worry about it, op.

Seems like you broke the marriage up and your kid knows it

Oooooof. Hard not to get emotional at that. Chin up! Kids say things that they are feeling in the moment. Just keep being the mom she needs and it will all be fine. Easier said. Do NOT use this against here. Positive reinforcement goes a long way.
