Preference

Today, my daughter ran up to a librarian working in the kids section and screamed "MOMMY!" and hugged her. She looked at her and said "I'm not your mommy." My daughters reply: "I know. But you're better than mommy" FML

Today, I have been teaching my 5 year-old step-daughter how to read and write. She came bounding up to me with a piece of paper and said, "look what I did". It was a letter that said "My dad misses my real mommy, not you". FML

Today, I explained to my 5 year old daughter that her older sister from my husband's first marriage lives with her mommy, and my daughter lives with us. She exclaimed, "It's not fair! I want two mommies like she has! Can we swap, I like her mommy better than you anyway!" FML

Today, I took my daughter to the library instead of the pool. I sat her on the counter and, while I reached for my library card, she turned to the librarian and said, "We didn't go to the pool today because Mum has hairy legs." FML

Today, at preschool, I got to meet the mother of my daughter's best friend. She complimented mine's grades, and noted her quirkiness. I complimented her's for being congenial and being well-rounded. Later, my daughter said they are no longer besties because her mom said I called her daughter fat. FML

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

Don't worry about it. Some kids just have people that they like to see. Maybe your librarian's really nice and so she's your daughter's favorite person. Either way, FYL

aw. This happened when my sister was little. She went up to our mom and said "look mom I love you but I love mrs moony more". (her preschool teacher) But don't stress my sister forgot all about it. I'm sure your daughter will too

Young kids don't really understand - don't take it personally.

Good for you for taking your child to the library, reading is awesome. She'll get over it, kids are always saying stuff.

she probably likes the librarian better right now because ur her mother and ur great and all but ur also the enforcer. the one who makes her eat her veggies, gives her time outs, and makes her go to bed. Her librarian doesnt do any of that so all she sees is that. thats how kids are. i did something similar to my mom when i was little and it hurt her. i felt awful once i understood! my mom and I are as close as ever and always have been. i dont love anyone more than her! ur daughter didnt mean it :o)

Kids think that way - they like the people who spoil them and they seem better than their mothers. They're too young understand that the restrictions mothers put on them is usually for their own good. When your daughter is sick or sad or needs comfort in some way, you'll be the first person she goes to.
