Today, my dad married his fiancée, who insists I call her "Mom." I'm three years older than her, and went to the same high school. She's taking me shopping next week to buy me "something nice." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I met my mom's fiancé. He's a nice guy, he's also my wife's dad. I'll soon call my wife my sister. FML
Today, I learned who my dad's new fiancée is. Upon meeting her she exclaimed, "My, I haven't seen you in a while!" She's my ex-boyfriend's mom. FML
Today, my dad is getting married for the 4th time. First it was my mom, then as they got older, he married a woman 10 years his junior, then his third wife was my age and 28 years his junior. Now at the grand old age of 64, he is marrying a 22 year old, 42 years his junior, almost 2 decades younger than me. FML
Today, I learned my 40 year old father is marrying a girl barely a year and a half older than me. She told me not to be afraid to call her mom. I was torn between punching her in the face and vomiting. FML
Today, my father told all of us that he eloped with his girlfriend of two months. I'm engaged to the woman's daughter, and have been engaged since before they met, but now my family is making fun of me for marrying my "sister". FML
Today, my dad's new wife, who is two years younger than me (I'm 24) and hates that I'm a lesbian, threw a fit when I told her that I would never call her Mom. My dad took her side. I don't live with them but still… FML
Today, my dad introduced me to my half-sister. He'd only recently found out that he had another daughter by another woman, and had only just met her. She and I have been in the same class in school for the past three years. FML
Today, my mother got remarried. I am now officially older than my step-father. FML
Today, my daughter got engaged. Her fiancé is not only 25 years older than her, but was her teacher in middle school. FML
Today, my new step-dad proposed to my mom during a family trip to Wal-Mart. FML

I remember when my mom was dating a guy younger than my older brother. It was just weird.

Wow, I'm sorry for you, your mom, your dad, and your "mom".

Does she make your father happy? If she does, perhaps you should come to terms with it. You still don't need to call her 'Mom' though.

IMO your dad is entitled to find love where he may - it's not always something we have a choice over. She might be after him for his money and he may be blinded by prospect of a piece that's a generation younger than him but we don't know that at all. They may simply be in love. It happens. However, whatever the background, you are entitled to object to you new "mom" patronising you in the way that she seems to be. You should be free to raise it with her. If you aren't comfortable with that then raise it with your dad. You can't ask him not to be with his wife, but you can point out that it's demeaning to call a younger person "mom" or to be treated as a child by her. Evidently you are both adults and should behave as such. Your dad must have thought about these issues and can't be surprised that you have concerns. I would try to keep your shopping date, but make sure that you make your own purchases and if possible it's you who pays for lunch etc. If you want to establish your status as this woman's equal then you have to behave like that. If you accept her financial support then you are accepting her seniority over you. Once that happens it will be very hard to reverse. Good luck - and FYL.

Hopefully they're not living in the same house, if she's 3 years older then the wife, I would hope that the op is AT LEAST 25 or so and living on their own (or getting close to moving out)
